Peanuts!

My wife thinks I am weird because when I eat peanuts, I eat the whole thing.

Does anyone else eat them shell and all?

lol I didn't even know you COULD eat the shell.

Doesn't your wife eat talcum powder? She's got no right to talk.

But seriously, like Rex, I didn't even know you could eat the shell. Can't say as I've ever tried it.

I did have a friend in junior high who could eat an entire apple (core, seeds, stem, and all) though.

Yeah Jen used to eat alot of powder. I think she has kicked that habit now.

Next time try to eat the whole peanut. It was always too much work for me to try to open up the shell.

Never tried the shell.Although I imagine its alot like a sunflower seed shell,no?

I've never had a sunflower seed. But the shell on the peanut gets all the salt, so when you eat the shell as well, you get this sudden rush of sodium in your body. I don't think it's healthy, but gee it sure is fun.

You are aware that you can buy peanuts nowadays that are pre-shelled for your convenience, aren't you??

Affirmative. But I like the shells. They make me poop.

Yeah thats what I like about the shell on the sunflower seed.It gets all the salt

I don't eat the shells, but sometimes I lick them to get the salt rush.

its a little weird, its so tough! I suck on the shell for a bit, it does have a nice salty flavor

okay....

I got a bag of eadible shell peanuts its quite good

I don't eat the shells of peanuts, but I do eat the shells on sunflower seeds. When I was a kid and played in Little League,they gave them to us. I didn't know you were supposed to spit out the shells, so I guess I developed a taste for them.

Don't the peanut shells get caught up in your throat?

I eat the whole thing too, never knew you werent supposed to until a few years ago

This reminds me of when I got sick after eating the shrimp tails at Long John Silvers. I had no idea you weren't supposed to.

Just a general rule of thumb: Do NOT eat ANYTHING from Long John Silver's.

Shells? Yucko.

Do you just chew the whole thing or do you even take the time to crack it open and eat the shell & nut separately?

I pop the whole kit and caboodle in my mouth and chew.

I thought this was going to be about the cartoon strip!

i just threw up in my mouth, I hate when even a lil piece of the outside gets in my mouth..

I've eaten the shell before... Didn't like it.
