I love salted peanuts, and my whole life I've eaten them shell and all. Not eating the shell seems like such a waste of salt.

Some people saw me doing it and thought it was really wierd. Thoughts?

Eating them is so 2000's. I stick them in my ass and absorb them.

I bet that's not all you suck on, you dirty bastard.

I usually try sucking on a few pistachio shells then give up. They just don't absorb salt in the same way as peanuts :(

not so much the shell, but I do like the red part that sticks to the shell. Fun to sit around with the kids and crack peanuts, have contests throwing them into a bucket

I've eaten a shell or two in my lifetime, but don't really like them nor think it's normal.

My experience also. Eating the shells is weird.

My first introduction to Tamales involved a tamale sliced up and me thinking I should just pop the whole thing in, husk and all. So no, eating the shells is just plain fucked up. Do you eat the peeling of the banana too?

Never heard of eating the shell. I buy shelled peanuts. I do sometimes roast and eat unshelled pumpkin seeds, but prefer shelled ones. Can't imagine doing it with peanuts. If I eat a peanut in a shell, I shell it first.

Hooping is so late 90s. You're way behind the curve.

They aren't, unless you stretch the definition of edible to the point of breaking. Oak bark's edible if you use tat standard :^P

Eating the shell is like eating the all the orange, and the peel of a banana. You can, but youre an idiot.

WTF shrimp? That would feel like eating plastic wrap! There's no way you could chew it up properly.
