I am a big fan of planters cocktail peanuts and I think I just ate or tempted to eat my last one. It was the most disturbing and nastiest taste ever, this taste went straight to my brain. I was taking out the can and putting them in my mouth. I wasn't looking at the nuts when I was watching tv. I spent almost 30 years plus as an Infantry man (grunt) in the USMC. I have tried pretty much anything over the years. User's recommendation: Look at what your putting in your mouth.
