I present to you Exhibit A:
Now any Westerner I know will take one look at this photo and see something unusual about these peanuts. It's their size of course. These are tiny tiny little suckers. But it gets worse.
I present to you Exhibit B:
Crack those puppies open and what you find are even smaller, dried pea-sized turds that even on their best day seem like little more than distant cousins of the peanuts I grew up eating. While strangely addictive -- I confess to eating more than my fair share -- these are grade D circus-quality peanuts, people! I talked to a couple of locals and discovered this isn't some anomaly. These are the only peanuts they've ever known!!
Now I don't know who over at Planter's dropped the ball on this one, but I think we've got a real opportunity here to teach the Chinese a thing or two about how peanuts are supposed to be.
Any venture capitalists out there want to back me on this one? ....Anyone? ....Hello?
if you want to do a regional comparison of the peanuts across asia, this link may be useful: http://frugaltraveler.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/16/short-hops-low-fares-around-asia/
