A circus peanut breakthrough! Full details inside!

On this fateful day I purchased, as is my fashion about once a month, a bag of circus peanuts. I brought them home and had a few, but as I was lighting some incense and chewing on one of my unnaturally colored banana things I had a truly great idea

Fire makes incense good, fire makes marshmallows good, circus peanuts are sort of like both! Fire must make circus peanuts good. With a lighter and a significant amount of patience I warmed the peanut, careful not to actually set it aflame before it had been softened throughout. Next I gently touched the flame to it and watched as the sugar burned and bubbled with a gentle crackling sound. As the flame began to scorch my fingers, I blew it out.

I tasted my perfectly toasted peanut. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I cannot tell you how good this was, even compared to a normal CP. I don’t have the patience to do this often, but I can assure you that more peanuts from this bag will meet that fate. Hoo boy.

P.S.- Circus Peanuts are doubly amazingly tasty when you are under the influence of a certain green, smokable, federally frowned-upon plant. Wow, I say.

Are you sure you didn’t smoke the peanut? :smiley:

Wow. You mean people actually eat that stuff?

Mmmmmm. I wonder how it would taste without the weed appetizer. I don’t party, but I do eat circus peanuts. As you well know.

Maybe he ate a styrofoam peanut instead…they gotta taste better then circus peanuts.

Uh-oh, I shouldn’t tell my mom about this. She loves roasting marshmallows and eating CPs. Not at the same time, mind you. Now she might end up making a s’more out of a circus peanut. yuck. :vomiting smilie:

Mmmmmmm. Circus peanuts. Love them.

Toasted circus peanuts…well, that just sounds entirely too good. Even without the herbal enhancers, that just sounds really, really good.

Absolutely. We had some at Jonathan chance’s party back in June. I probably ate half of them.

Gosh darn it, Lucki! Now I’m going to have to try that!

Yumm you should try nuking them in the microwave. They get all big and puffy (more volume of circus peanut for the $). Of course you might wanna wait a minute or so to let it cool down. I cannot recall the number of times I burnt the sheeit out of my tounge and mouth because I couldn’t wait and just scarfed down piping hot circus peanuts.

I should clarify- I was not under the influence of that unnamed (well, I think someone named it) plant at the time that I tried this out, I was just making the note.

A friend and I stopped at the grocery store and got some candy on the way to my house. After blazing it up we went through a big bag of circus peanuts in like 10 minutes, all the way through commenting on how much better they were than in a normal state of mind.

I love em just plain though. Yum, circus peanuts.

I don’t know what this says about me. Or what it says about Tiki, but as I was reading the OP, I wondered about micro-zapping a Circus Peanut. I do it to Peeps every year. It’s a taste explosion. (OK, it’s not an explosion, but the Peep gets really big and gooshy.)

So, as I was reading I was going to ask “What happens if your micro-zap you super-delicious Circus Peanut, Lucki Chaarms?” And there was the answer from Tiki. Creepy.
-Rue. (a Circus Peanut fan from way-back)

Can’t argue with most of the logic there, but how are Circus Peanuts are like incense?

Using that same logic:

Apples are red.
Apples are good to eat.
Fire engines are red.
Therefore…

(And yes, you can substitute “yellow-green” for “red”.)

Bah!!! Be quiet your sounding like my philosophy professor. I’ve already made a skeleton model out of your statement and concluded what kind of argument your were using. My head hurts and this sucks I’m leaving…

I posted this several months ago, but for a demo of what happens when you nuke a circus peanut, check this out:

But have you tried a Circus Peanut Smore yet? That might just make them edible.

You people are sick, I tell you – SICK!

May God have mercy on your soul

My sig line prior to 9/11/01…

“In the unlikely event of a water landing, Circus Peanuts can be used as a floatation device.”
