nutritious junk

What can i say about nuts? i guess if you are familar with the various kinds, they need no introduction and are pretty self explanatory. They are a healthful and yummy snack, but i've heard that this pistachio company will send you a free bag if you find a closed nut inside. Needless to say, I seached my bag like "where's waldo" to find a closed nut and couldn't spot one (although some were borderline closed, but just barely).  I got a flavor i was unfamilar with, the "eupropean falvor" (what ever that means).  Lets first just get it straight that these are a great and nutrtious snack option. packed with good fats, protien, and fiber, and only 170 for 1/2 serving (shelled).  They tasted like pistachios, and i like pistachios, and as far as this european flair, well they shell did have this slight essense of malt vinegar, which i admit was a nice touch, but not that prominent, i may have not noticed it.  I am used to eating soy nuts and almonds, so this pistachio buzz was a good break.  All in all, these are a cutesy spin on an oldtime favorite. the one downside, my desk is filled with the evidence of my pistachio consumption (i.e. their shells).  There goes my resoultion to being less messy...
