Sunflower Seeds Yay or Nay

Recommended Posts

Back in ther day, I used to eat them in the shell, chew 'em up and spit out the shells. Then they started coming already shelled. Thought that was great but soon stopped buying them. :dunno: why

 

Now peanuts, I do not buy them already clean and outta the shell but I love me some that I have to crack open outta the shell. I'll bet I've bought a bag at every football game I've ever been to. Probably a few hundred. Love me some peanuts in the shell.

Love peanut butter but hate peanuts. I know it's probably weird but true. Hate chunky peanut butter as well.

Cajun boiled peanuts are the way to go

Three pods is the norm. Now 4 pods, that's rare and I've lately been getting a few of those per bag.
