re: How much effort are you putting into opening a closed pistachio?

Way back when I was a teenager I had a friend who, like many of us, loved the pink dyed pistachio nuts.

One night after a Chalmette High football game and a few beers at a friends house while playing pool in his dad's man cave, he broke out a bag of pistachio nuts and proceeded to just bite down and eat those closed ones that wouldn't open easily.

I bet that played hell with his digestive system and made the next visit to take a crap memorable.


As for me, I'll give them a good try, but it they prove to be more trouble than they are worth, I toss them.
