Question about nuts

[desertrat]

Why are salted nuts cheaper than unsalted?

They have to pay people to lick the salt off. :shrug:

I'm sure you realize you just assured I will always buy salted from now on.

Reminds me of a time I went out for Chinese with my brother. I'd walked up to the buffet and when I came back he had an opened fortune cookie sitting on his plate. I asked if he was going to eat it and he said "No, it's stale". Well, don't all fortune cookies taste stale? So I picked it up and put it in my mouth before realizing that it was wet because he'd already tasted it.

My best guess is, the oils in nuts can cause nuts to become "rancid" or bitter tasting over time. Salting nuts provides a longer shelf life. An extended shelf life means a cheaper product, because expired nuts have to be pulled off store shelves and written off as waste/loss to the manufacturer.

This reminded me of the dog scene in "Joe Dirt" when he met Brandy.

When I read "Question About Nuts" MY mind went it a totally different direction.

Suddenly, for some reason, I remember my best friend and I crank calling Esperanza Lanes when we were in Middle school and asking if they had 10 lb. balls.

You ever see the Nat Geo program where; somewhere in Zimbabwe or someplace the women make a type of tea by chewing some kind of plant or root or something and then spitting it into a container?

GROSS huh? Just a bit of useless info I have tucked away.
