Of course they're expensive think of how much labor it takes to put them in the damn shells!

Because they're so addictive, they need to be controlled through price.

I could eat a few bags of them and still want more

Same, though I developed an allergy to pistachios/sesame a while back that has saved me a good bit of money by now

Like so many things, they only seem expensive until you try to make your own.

I feel the same way about cashews 😡

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ollie's right now has a whole shelf filled with big bags of white-chocolate-covered cashews for $5 and it's taking all my willpower not to go clean the store out.

Where the fuck my red pistachio go?

[–] buckykat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

The red pistachios were from Iran and have been under sanctions and embargoes most of the time since 1979.

I always assumed it was because they had the most pain-in-the-ass shells...
