I’m pretty sure they would fight to a standoff, realize their commonalities, then forge an alliance of evil in the Antimatter Universe and go on to battle the Green Lanterns.

Ok, so if that’s what you (and by you I mean either someone else or a previously less than P-C you) call brazil nuts (which I have always called brazil nuts, at least here in Indiana, except for in Brazil Indiana where they are just called nuts), then what do you call the little cone shaped chocolate covered vanilla creme candies (which, as I recall, were always called n----r toes when I was growing up)?
