I voted for peanuts because I looooooooooove peanut butter. But on their own, pistachios.

Peanuts aren't nuts. They are legumes.

well, cashews (drupe seed), walnuts (drupe seed), pecans (drupe seed), brazil nuts (capsule seed), almonds (drupe seed), macadamia nuts (kernel), pistachios (drupe seed), and sunflower seeds (flower seed) aren't nuts either, if you ask a botanist. that doesn't leave much. (hazelnuts and chestnuts are real nuts.)

they are all nuts (including peanuts) in the "what kind of food is this" sense though (well, maybe not sunflower seeds, I've never really heard them called "nuts" before).

Pistachios are good as long as they are natural (NOT the red ones!) and don't have worms in them.

Knowing the antics of ATOT, I surprised this thread hasn't gotten bad enough to be closed yet.

Truck nutz, those are hilarious

Good heavens every time I see those things swinging I want to rip them off and throw them at the driver! D:

Imagine a child asking his mommy the universal question!

"Mommy what is that swinging back and forth?"

I guess you could make something up like a weather rock. Accurate when the truck is parked and it goes like this.

If the rock is still the weather is calm.
If the rock is swaying it is windy.
If the rock is cold it's freezing out.
If the rock is hot we're having a heat wave.
If the rock is wet it is raining.
If the rock is white it's snowing. (or someone missed!)
If you cannot see the rock it is foggy.
If the rock and truck disappear - TORNADO!
