Shelling them yourself is half the pleasure of eating them! Pre-shelled pistachios just don't hit the same.

angiseyes.bsky.social•33 days ago

I've gone through about 20 big bags of shelled sunflower seeds since November

will-am-brose.bsky.social•32 days ago

pistachios and pomegranates!! the kings of food/fidget toy double duty

snakebitcat.bsky.social•33 days ago

I hate the time it takes to shell them - I'd much rather just pour half a bag into my mouth and start chewing.

yamaking666.bsky.social•33 days ago

I prefer to eat them without the shell... (sorry)

michaelthegamer.bsky.social•33 days ago

But they are so delightfully crunchy that way!

grandmak.bsky.social•33 days ago

I remember my fingers turning red from the (probably carcinogenic) red dye they used to use on them.

mcschmoopy.bsky.social•33 days ago

Exactly!

theguy9900.bsky.social•33 days ago

Just don't buy them from Wonderful brand.

sunraa.bsky.social•33 days ago

plus you burn calories

tinks333.bsky.social•33 days ago

Are y’all rich? So expensive!

It’s been a long time. Once I start I can’t stop. They are so good!

1120hol.bsky.social•32 days ago

😂😂😂😂😂 but i miss the carcinogenic red dye!

samplicity.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is why I love having a bowl of assorted nuts to just crack open and snack on.

m00psy.bsky.social•33 days ago

i love them. plus you can lick the shells and get the little salty papery things. yum yum.

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

You understand

m00psy.bsky.social•33 days ago

so good. 😊

m00psy.bsky.social•33 days ago

lmfao, re the dry skins or whatever inside, my brain just helpfully supplied: “ah yes, the liner notes”

bluecow11.bsky.social•33 days ago

I bet if you took all empty shells and crushed them into shape - you would still have a better resident for the WH…

walkerkaty.bsky.social•33 days ago

Plus, you know it’s time to stop when your fingers get too sore to keep opening them.

miski.bsky.social•33 days ago

Shelled pistachios always taste off to me. They're weirdly soft and something just isn't right

caitybug619.bsky.social•33 days ago

Wait are you talking pistas that have been shelled or pistas that are shelled within their shell??

miski.bsky.social•33 days ago

Bags of preshelled pistachios

caitybug619.bsky.social•32 days ago

Okay in that case I 100% agree!! They’re oddly too moist/not as cronchy as in-shell somehow

childlesscatperson.bsky.social•33 days ago

The chili spice ones are addicting 😊

grappler.bsky.social•33 days ago

Wait. Do you mean unshelled pistachios? English being weird, “shelled” means without shells. 🤪

hibiscus-cranberry.bsky.social•33 days ago

when i was little i would pretend to be an victorian orphan with only 7 pistachios to my name

infinitymachine.xyz•33 days ago

love to indulge my inner squirrel

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

YES

dfluke.net•33 days ago

💯 and gotta do the squirrel hands and pausing to look around for potential nut thieves in between nyarfnyarfing

michaelthegamer.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, opening them is part of the fun! And they are easier to open than others in their shells.

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

(Shelled as in, still has the shell on)

ary.bsky.social•33 days ago

I knew what you meant but now I'm annoyed that the normal way it's used kinda means the opposite if what it should 😅

codeandpen.bsky.social•33 days ago

They are delicious with the bonus of occasionally hurting my fingies.

angiseyes.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ummm... you're supposed to deshell it in your mouth. 1

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

That’s the only downside!!

codeandpen.bsky.social•33 days ago

Each pistachio will only make us stronger !

garry42.bsky.social•33 days ago

I use the salt stinging under my thumbnail as a guide for when I've had enough. 😊

orpach.bsky.social•33 days ago

Finding a good half-shell to use for prying open further nuts is a must. Sometimes upgrading if you find a better one.

My issues start when the fingers in my off-hand get so salty they start drying out.

krptochrnocunalite.bsky.social•33 days ago

Wouldn’t the ones with shells be the fidget toys?

krptochrnocunalite.bsky.social•33 days ago

Nevermind. Shelled means with the shells removed, but you meant with shells. My bad.

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

Oops yes I meant the ones still with shells on

littleguys3d.bsky.social•33 days ago

When I was a kid my mom would make pistachio shell mice for me like this one, and that cemented pistachios-in-shell as my favorite nut haha

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

Omg that’s soo sweet

professor-quirkk.bsky.social•33 days ago

They are nature's Pringles, once you pop . . .

firefly55.bsky.social•33 days ago

I loved shelled pistachios too! My fingertips not so much 😩

melstringer.bsky.social•33 days ago

I love fidget toy foods haha!!

afthescientist.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is the food my spouse cannot wait to eat once his teeth are taken care of. They’re his favorites.

bugwithapen.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is how I feel about pomegranates. Like u mean this treat can also keep me from picking at my face? Lfg

breelundberg.com•33 days ago

Facts. Damn now I want a pomegranate!!
