Peanuts

[ZenGum]

Working on the theory that a randomly chosen topic can shake out all sorts of weird stories from dwellars, I decided to make a thread about peanuts. What strange facts, amusing anecdotes, or perilous encounters, can you share that relate in some way to peanuts?

Here's mine:
Many years ago I was hanging out with a friend, Jeremy, and, among other things, eating some M&Ms he had brought.
"I think these taste better than the regular M&Ms" he said, "They have peanut butter in them."
As a habitual prankster I sat up, looked worried, stopped eating, and demanded "do these have PEANUTS in them???"
He took the bait: "YES! WHY????"
"Good!" I replied, and popped another into my mouth. "I like peanuts."

He called me evil after that. He may have been right.

A day later we were with a mutual friend and Jeremy retold the story, and we had a good laugh.
Then he added "...and it really freaked me out because the earliest memory I have is of my younger brother being rushed madly to hospital with a severe peanut allergy..."



The brother lived, I am very glad to report!
