are awesome!
however, I fear they may be addictive and must caution you against them. please send all available pistachio nuts to me, and I will dispose of them in a proper manner.

Me and my bird belive that they are some kind of "food-crack."
Addictive is the correct description for these bad boys.

I wish I could get high off them.
then I'd make lots of weird tracks on pistachio and then people would hail me as the new musical genious and I would have lots of money so I could buy more pistachio nuts. then, after a while, my career would go down the toilet as I sold all my "assets" to buy pistachio nuts, and when I later sober up, I'll have nothing but a casio-keyboard for music making. I will then re-invent music as we know it and be on top again, but will then keep my pistachio use at a moderate level.

watch out! they can get worms in them. and the pink dye that is sometimes added makes you paranoid.
but pistachios are indeed awesome. fucking awesome, actually.

Exactly. You got to know what you are doing when you get involved with a pistachio bender.
Always make sure that you have a friend around who isn't doing any, just to keep an eye on things. You can get so pistachio'd off your tits, it is possible to harm yourself.
Be careful, brother.

But anyway, I like to inject smack straight into my eyeballs after a big pistachio bender, it helps to ease the comedown.

in the united states pistachios were traditionally dyed bright pink/red in the shell, which would then get all over your fingers and lips when you cracked the shell and ate the nut. i guess i'm not surprised that this is not the common practice elsewhere, and actually most pistachios in the us these days are, i think, not dyed.
thus concludes pistachio history corner. thanks for your patronage.

also, did you know that if you force yourself to vomit the pistachios you've already eaten, you can free up space in your stomach to allow for more pistachios?
save on gourmet bulk nuts.

"food crack" is exactly right - just like chocolate covered pretzels - you sit down with a bag to have a few, look down a few minutes later and youve chewed through the whole fuckin deal

I thought pink was salted and white was something else.
Pink is dangerous because i remember when i was young having pink fingers and having to wipe them on my socks thus making them pink.
A local bar has Jalapenio Pistachio Nuts. Fairly good

it was essentially a marketing strategy to grab people's attention, believe me the pistachios stood out when you'd see a large bin of them or a coin-operated machine full of them. they are usually still in the shell when sold here, so you don't see a lot of green, mostly the tan shell.
it's not uncommon to dye other foods bright colors in other countries. don't they have any brightly colored food in norway? tikka masala? orange soda?

they're still in the shell here too... I don't think we have things that are dyed to be a different color from what it's supposed to be, though.. orange soda is dyed orange, not blue... denmark has these excessively red sausages... they're like signal red... of course, I haven't really looked into it all that much, but.. pink pistachio nuts would throw me off a bit...

jalapeño pistachio nuts? i'd want to try that. : ) (even if jalapeños aren't really strong are they...)
i had never heard of this pink dye thing, sounds pretty silly to me. what's wrong with green? some apples are green too.

pistachio nuts are the nuts with the highest percentage of poly-unsaturated fats, they're the olive oil of the nut world.

Its a conspiracy. Beleive me. I have been long fighting the war against nuts, seeing as I am alergic.
I have traced it back to covert government agencies that are partly subsidized by this agency.
Its a very dark time for our world.
