thats not what schenxpel aka The Yellow Bastard said

12/29/2009 9:45:28 AM

i didn't say shit

12/29/2009 10:00:23 AM

I ate the shells once - the shit later in the day was one of the most painful experiences of my life.

12/29/2009 10:07:32 AM

I spit, I don't swallow.

12/29/2009 10:33:48 AM

i eat the shells

12/29/2009 10:34:17 AM

I eat the shells sometimes. I just pop a few in my mouth and chew til its pulpy... If you do too many at once though it takes a lot more time to grind them down to a swallowable pulp, and the salt/sunflower flavor is gone by then.

Other times I stuff 15-20 in a cheek and let them soften up as I take one at a time in my teeth and bite off the edge, pop the seed out, and spit out the shell.

12/29/2009 11:00:46 AM

I, too, eat the shells because I am too lazy.

12/29/2009 11:02:26 AM

i dont eat them anymore cause i found a mealworm in one

12/29/2009 11:03:15 AM

i eat peanut shells when im real lazy, but never sunflower shells

12/29/2009 11:06:25 AM

the meal worm ate the sunflower seeds

the meal worm is made of sunflower seeds

just a little tart is all

I mean its been roasted probably too, whats the worst that could happen?

12/29/2009 11:07:07 AM

Peanut shells? Nasty. I can't imagine being lazy enough to eat either of those shells. Do y'all swallow cherry pits too?

12/29/2009 11:09:15 AM

the shells give you cancer

12/29/2009 11:44:34 AM

i only know one person who eats them, and it's because she can't get the seed out right..

i spit

12/29/2009 12:08:55 PM

^^^do you eat peanut butter? thats got ground up shells in it

12/29/2009 12:11:04 PM

Traces, sure, but not like they throw the whole peanuts in there as a practice. And there's a difference between eating small amounts of ground up shells and eating the whole shells on purpose.

12/29/2009 12:19:15 PM

People with less intelligence than birds ITT

12/29/2009 12:21:14 PM

I get the ones without the shells so I can shove them in my mouth by the handful.

12/29/2009 2:36:08 PM

half the reason i eat sunflower seeds is the challenge of removing the seeds from shells in my mouth...then i spit them out

12/29/2009 2:40:11 PM

i hate chewing sunflower seeds


and i hate when people do it in my car, because I end up with seeds all over the place, and if they do finish the bag, they always leave it in my car

12/29/2009 2:54:36 PM

I chew and suck all the salt out of the shells then spit out that pithy stuff.

i eat peanut shells ALL of the time.
but not because i'm lazy, but i actually like it a lot.
really salty.

don't knock it til you try it

[Edited on December 29, 2009 at 7:11 PM. Reason : if you dont like really salty stuff i sugggest you dont try!]

12/29/2009 7:10:34 PM

I eat the peanut shells too. Cuz I LOVE salt.

12/29/2009 7:12:48 PM

people give me the grossest looks when i do that too.

12/29/2009 7:14:13 PM

They just do that to me when I act like my usual self, lol.

But those are the kind of people that are uptight.

12/29/2009 7:16:14 PM

I mean I like salt but if I want salt I'll eat a pickle or something that is meant to be edible.

But now I will try eating a shell because I refuse to be closed-minded.

Sometimes, but usually not on purpose. I like the saltiness of the sunflower shell.

My friend also thinks it's weird I eat the shell of pumpkin seeds.

12/29/2009 7:19:46 PM

^^lol.
its not being close minded...its food!
it IS a really weird thing to eat.


hell i have a really hard time trying ANYTHING with coconut in it



[Edited on December 29, 2009 at 7:20 PM. Reason : except coconut shrimp. those are good ]

12/29/2009 7:20:30 PM

Skwinkle...it's a dry intense saltiness that is mostly salt. A pickle tastes like a pickle...salty but with pickle flavor.

12/29/2009 7:21:14 PM

yeah. SUPER SUPER salty.

i cant eat every peanut like that.
itll make my mouth hurt

12/29/2009 7:21:56 PM

I never really want just pure salt flavor. I'm not much of a salt person at all though.

I'll eat anything that wasn't an animal. Experiments never hurt. Unless I choke on the peanut shell I guess.

12/29/2009 7:26:49 PM

this thread inspired me to look up if there is any nutritional content in the shells.

fiber (which i figured) seems to be really the only thing.

but i found somewhere that there the shell may have aflotoxins which are deadly
but i dont know how valid the source was
