There's a guy I work with, he brings trail mix to work pretty often. He eats what he wants, and then sets the rest of the bag on the community counter.

The thing is, every time he's finished and sets the bag on the community counter, the bag is at least half full (sometimes over 3/4 of the way full), and all of the m&m's are gone. So, one day, I'm jokingly giving him a bit of shit, and say, "Bro...if you just want m&m's, why not just buy a bag of m&m's? It's gotta be cheaper that way." He got super offended, and told me that it was just by chance that he was eating all of the m&m's out of the trail mix before discarding the bag.

Kinda odd.

Interesting side note.

The reason you never see cashews sold still in the shell is because they are from the poison ivy and sumac family. The shells contain a toxic oil that can cause skin reactions.

So cashews are processed by removing the shell and roasting or frying in oil to remove any remaining oil residue.

And now you know.

Simply Red’s food threads are always educational one way or another.

You know why? There's no game in just buying a bag of M&Ms.

Yes it is. I always thought it was because uncooked pistachios were poisonous and that's how they identified them.

What's unflavored oatmeal? Isn't it all unflavored until you put something on it or buy it from someone who put something in it like cinnamon or whatever. I use maple syrup. Sometimes add fruit and/or nuts. You can add anything you want .

I thought it as red dye #1 and thought that got banned or producers moved away from using that dye because of articles published about it.

Thanks guys, I'll let her know.

Do you have any pictures of the accused? That might help people decide how appropriate her behavior has been.

Your brother is a wise and knowledgeable man. You’re trying too hard. This lopsided rivalry is sad to watch.

ROFL no, actually glad I looked it up. Really thought the poisonous thing was a fact.
