Laneia’s Team Pick: These Cashews

Laneia

Oct 16, 2010
COMMENT

These Planters cashews with a ‘normal’ amount of salt are good.

These Planters cashews with a ‘light’ amount of salt are not as good / disappointing.

These honey roasted Planters cashews are really good. It’s stupid how good these are. Wtf.

        I can attest to the fact that us Spanish speakers do use, among many other variations, “jajaja.”

        However, let us not rumble over laughter; let us instead eat numerous kinds of cashews and laugh about the arbitrary nature of some (dare I say most?) onomatopoeias!

      This is me as well!

      I am extremely happy that I can still eat other nuts,
      although, from all the exclamations of pity that I get when people discover I can’t have peanuts, I’m now convinced that they’re supposedly the food of the Gods (next to beef jerky / naan bread / dukkah / muesli, of course)

      And that, in another universe, peanuts would be my BFFF (Best Food Friend Forever).

    i freaking love cashews.

    my roommate taught me a fancy way to make your own trailmix:
    go to a corporation grocery store that has bulk bins of nuts and stuff, get a bag and put together your own awesome mix of nuts n raisins n seeds n shit (protip: add some reese’s pieces to the mix), label it as the store’s trailmix, and purchase it. it’ll probs save you some money, and you’ll feel like you’re one-upping your local corporation grocery store. PLUS REESES PIECES IN TRAILMIX IS TOTES THE BEST.

      instead of labeling it as the store’s trail mix, buy the the things separately (but still in bulk)- trail mix is always more expensive than its ingredients! trust me, it’ll save you loads.

    4-pack of Planters cashews with a ‘normal’ amount of salt = $18.51?!

    Christ, you can get 20+ cans of beans for that.

    Good call on the cashews though. They’re pretty tasty. Maybe one day I’ll strike it rich and not be such a penny pincher.

      It’s not true PB, here are my two favs:

      1. Sunbutter–from sunflower seeds. The crunchy kind is so similar to PB that eating it always makes me double-check the label. Only downside is that it’s usually around $6 a jar.

      2.Walmart sells a creamy soy butter (forgot brand name).
      It is not nearly as awesome as Sunbutter, but delicious enough for $3 a jar.
