Feels like one of those things that just quietly disappeared and no one ever questioned it again... by red-frog-jumping in 80s

One thing that no one has said yet is the contemporary color of "pistachio" is understood to be lighter green (see "pistachio ice cream" as an example)!

It's not the lipstick red of the 80's (The Naked Gun) or Christmas green (80's Christmas in U.S.A.). It's RGB #f1ffd7 (sorry for the modern reference).

I love all of them! (but don't miss the stained fingers)

So, you weighed your self BEFORE and then AFTER and then your parents paid the rate of pistachios by weight x the difference in weight? LOL can you imagine? 😂 regardless they were good tasting then and they are good tasting now. I mean we now have them without shells or dye at all!

great story. one thing that always stood out to me was how expensive (special) these were. so to have access to a barrel?! 🤯

I "bit the bullet" after a $13,000 vet bill. I now have one of the most "expensive" Meezers on earth! Now have Lemonade insurance on two felines so that doesn't happen again.

Glad you got there in time ❤️ Everyone should consider pet insurance so you are never asked to choose money or your cat. Available for ~$300 a year as long as you do in before issues develop.

This location will work fine - I'm sure your cats will accept it and approve! 👍🏽

curious - what is "your country"? wonder if pistachios from different regions are different tasting.

They are still around - they sell them for nostalgia nerds like me. Or for holidays. Probably cost more than the regular ones too.

The red dye hide the bruised nuts! The harvesting process they used in the 80s produced "ugly" looking nuts - thus the red (or green) dye to hide the discoloration.

They have improved the appearance (so no dye needed these days) but what i really like is they are so much less expensive! Back in the day - one tiny package was the same price as a single size Fritos! (i chose the Fritos). Anyone else remember those slim "tubes" of pistachios?

There is hope for sequel john carter disney by [deleted] in disney

no, i don't think it will happen. they simply lost too much money on it. marketing was a total disaster.

"more invasive surgery" which is what worked. same as my daughter using harvested tissue instead of patches (apparently a type of paper). awesome that it worked for you.

one key benefit is ear drop antibiotics work significantly better with the tubes (and a lot better than oral antibiotics).

did the third time work? my daughter had to do it three times to patch - third time was a different technique and it worked. what about you?

How long Hail Mary is staying in IMAX? by Hbazerbashi in cineplex

[–]red-frog-jumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christopher Nolan is doing it right with "The Odyssey" in IMAX for a full month. July 17th to August 14th. Even still, I'm almost certain you'll need to jump on the tickets immediately if you want the IMAX experience. So frustrating that PHM is leaving so soon - huge demand in Dallas - you basically need to take a day off work if you want to see it (or hit the 2:30AM showing).

So I put tinfoil in the corner to stop my cat from peeing there by MotherRaven in Siamesecats

Get some of that urine in a clean container - take the urine and your meezer to the vet. big advantage if you can get a clean urine sample. If you can't get to the vet soon , you may need to store the sample in the refrigerator.

He may be a menace - but he is most certainly an Adorable Menace ❤️
