Important Pistachio Answers Sought

[modest mouse]

Every Xmas I get Pistachios, its a tradition. Well I'm through with the regular ones and I'm eating a bag of red ones tonight. They suck. My fingers are red. My mouse has pink swirls. My space bar has a sunset hue. Later my cock will have a new racing stripe.

Questions:

1) Is there a reason for the dye job on Pistachios? If so, what? If not, why dye them?

2) What do you prefer(if you eat pistachios)?

3) How can I avoid the pink menace short of rubber gloves?

Mousey, The red dye is added by Procter-Gamble, This is so the can sell more Dial Soap.

My preference is to eat teh already shelled nuts, thus not having to worry about red dye.

To avoid the dye, use rubber gloves. After you've eaten, and if you are horny, you can rinse them quickly, and start using the gloves for "other reasons".

Why are pistachios dyed red?
Years ago, when all of the pistachios in the United States were imported, the shells of the nuts were often blemished due to the type of processing done in the foreign country. Americans like "pretty" foods, and the importers thought the nuts would sell better if the blemishes didn't show. They came up with the idea of spraying red food coloring on the nuts to make the shells a consistent color. The coloring of the shells was so common, that many people thought the color of the pistachio shells actually was red. The natural color is a light beige. The red food dye is known as a "marketing cosmetic".


What to do about the red fingers? Let me suck on them and see if I can get all the red off

I prefer the natural ones.

I've also read that the California pistachio industry says it's to hide blemishes on the shells. But some contend that there's a different reason.

In the Middle East, pistachios were often left in their reddish husks and were brined before roasting. This gave the shells a pink cast. When they started importing pistachios into the U.S., processors tried to imitate the color by using red dye. They found that the coloring made the nuts more noticable in retail displays and made the nuts even more red. Middle Eastern people, who until recently were the biggest pistachio consumers, were accustomed to eating nuts with blemished shells... so they wouldn't care whether or not the nuts were dyed.

However, I cannot remember the last time we had red ones. We only eat the natural ones - in fact, I don't think the stores even sell red anymore around here.

i have never heard or seen red pistachios before - a kinda weird thought it is, too.

I prefer my pistachios in the shells as they taste nicer. It surely fucks your nails up and you have pieces of the shell and the skin stuck under your broken nails but just take sooo yummy. I love pistachios.


Try soaking your fingers in lemon juice for 10min or alternatively in a bowl of warm soap water (or washing up liquid) after you through with your red ones.

(Seeing your GreenDay quote and raising it... "Do you have the time to listen to me whine About NOTHING and EVERYTHING all at once?")

Your advice reminded me of the scene in "Atlantic City" where a young Susan Sarandon stands in her apartment kitchen window shirt-less... squeezing lemon juice over her breasts...

I know, I know... from red Pistachios to SEX! Coincidence here at Lit? I think not! Now I'm getting this strange visual image of Modest Mouse topless in Vermont... squeezing lemons over himself.... ; )

And could somebody explain to me why you never see N'Sync or Frank Sinatra lyrics in somebody's tagline...? Or Jewel... why not her songs...? Hmmmm?

I always thought the red ones were from the middle east, dyed as an identification tool.

Speaking of tools, how's that racing stripe? Good thing the dye's edible....

So how do I get my tagline working...? I found the song lyric that expresses my deepest self!

But will you leave red dye all over my fingers?

And I'll share it just 'cause I wanna:

A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna role in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!

Freaky & Bob Peale..... Thanks for the information. I'm actively lobbying for discontinuation of the Pink Menace. Thanks to everyone for the aftercare tips, I'm recovering.

Rest assured, if I looked anything like Susan Sarandon I would never leave the house.

You must do 'laps' to view the racing stripe.

Mouse if you looked like this with lemon juice on you... I wouldn't leave your house! MMmmm... something about the smell of fresh lemons wouldn't you say?

And what's the clever thing you did to insert you photos in your post? Hmmm... Enquiring minds want to know.
