In case you wanted to know, its nuts business includes the Mr. Peanut (RIP) Planters brand, as well as its corn nuts business. Corn nuts kinda suck, right? I mean, they can be salted or flavored to make them more palatable, but when you're eating them, you always know you made a suboptimal decision. It's like eating pretzels.
So Mr. Peanuts now works for Hormel, best known for Spam. The sale also brings the Planters Cheez Balls line to Hormel. While my keto-living self no longer eats processed foods like these, I was ride or die for Cheez Balls for many years. I ended more than one drunken night by pouring Cheez Balls into a cereal bowl and eating them with a large spoon. That kept my fingers clean. You know, because I'm classy.
I am enough of a Cheez Balls fan that I want to buy this shirt, especially now that it is a collector's edition b/c the label says Heinz. I assume the Teej owns one of these. Or two.
This deal sets an attractive comp for Pete Schweddy's Schweddy Balls line. No word on them being bought by Ben and Jerry's, after their limited batch ice cream venture. Happy Friday, gents.

Answering a question from the last thread. TR- our timing was indeed great. Hunter Mountain is packed with snow. I spent half a day in River Edge and yesterday and today in Hunter Mountain.
Back to River Edge for Saturday and Sunday.
I also love Cheez Balls and have been elated to see them return to my local market.
My oldest recently started seeing a counselor for ADHD. Sessions are one hour - 45 minutes of intense work out w/ 15 minutes of talking.
Last night a dinner he said his trainer/counselor told him to up his protein intake by "eating things that had a face, and I don't mean the Planters peanut man".
I'm used to social media eavesdropping on my real life, but TR has done it here. Weird.
I like Hormel chili on my wiener
Hunter will be a shitshow this w/e. Kudos for getting there on school days and getting some fresh pow pow.
There is some real science behind a low carb diet and behavioral improvements. Hope that works. We have thought of that in our household.
Also, TR, if you want to enjoy needing out on basketball guy should buy Basketball: A Love Story. Basically an oral history of modern basketball. It’s an easy read and really informative.

anyone else eagerly looking forward to watching 'judas and the black messiah' this evening? i have a very surface-level understanding of the history of fred hampton's rise and demise, but the story is especially fucked up in the context of a pretty fucked up era in american history.
No, not a baller move. On the contrary.
Agreed. Everyone in your neighborhood knows who you are dude.
He'll be happy he owns that house when he's cycling through practice squads in three other cities next year.
Conveniently located within an easy drive of three airports.
tribe ladies' hoops pulls the plug on the season. men aren't gonna be far behind, though they're trying to avoid that decision.
A big “Fuck You” to Urban Meyer for hiring Chris Doyle. Urban’s always been big on looking at football-related results and conveniently wearing blinders to ignore everything else.
Doyle resigned already? My bad.
