goldringers Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 (edited) So I enjoy a beer or cider at the weekend say Sat night bit er football or boxing and I always have a bag of pistachio shelled nuts at hand Over the past month or so I've noticed that half the shells have no fuckin nut inside and worse this lost nut isn't even loose in the bag at the bottom. I counted last time and out of a bag I had roughly 40 nuts with hijacked shells. I reckon that before this they would bag the loose nut in the bag but now they've removed them and they must get used say for crushed sprinkles or something. At first I thought it was a one off from Aldi but I tried Asda's and it was not far off the same loads of fully opened shells no nut. I reckon they purposely over cook so the widen and the nut falls out. If I wanted a bag of shells I'd asked for them. Telling ya, everyone's ripping us from every angle. There's that much going on no one cares no more Edited November 6, 2025 by goldringers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddy Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 Don't know if they still do them but Lidl used to do a loose range of these where you used the little scoop to fill your bag. I used to go well overboard lol. But we don't have a local store now so haven't been in 3 years lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldringers Posted November 8, 2025 Author Share Posted November 8, 2025 (edited) "The fun is in the chase" The fun is in opening them along with shelled peanuts. I have mastered the one handed pistachio opening technique using my thumb nail. My wife secretly watched me the other night as I ripped through a bag in no time while operating the remote and phone with the other, its highly impressive. i can only imagine wherever these pistachios are processed and bagged they have had to employ an extra person just to bag up all the loose nuts there's that many fookin missing !!
