The Circus Peanut Circus
More images of unfortunate circus peanuts to come...
For those of you around the globe who may be unfamiliar with Circus Peanuts, go here. I happen to find nothing appealing about them at all except their cheery color. Others in my house disagree with me, and gobble them up before I have a chance to use them for my blog.

Gunter, noooo!
I hate them, but if I have even one, I have this insatiable craving for them. It's terrible.
Oh my gosh! This is one of the best ones yet!!!
Poor Lion Tamer! Bad day at work eh?

hee heee, I thought it was going to be canceled due to a peanut allergy epidemic!
I love them, but get terrible headaches if I eat more then 2-3 of them.
Great work, Terry!
Can't wait to see the rest of the horror show...
[I'm so happy...between the RSS feed and your Facebook status, I don't miss a post!]
oh the tragedy...
Gunter the Lion Tamer. He will be remebered. As a candy... And as a great tamer, unlucky, but great...

I would really like to try these circus peanuts. You have all the cool food in America :(
I'm surprised a proud beast like a lion would eat a circus peanut - maybe he bit and spit? :-)
Oh wow... hahahahahahaha!
Ugh, I agree. I have many nightmares about the bowl of circus peanuts that permanently resided on my great- grandmother's organ (the musical one, not the internal ones).
when I left my last corporate job after 11 years, they gave me a (very nice!) Orrefors crystal bowl as a parting gift. it immediately got filled with circus peanuts...
"All shows cancelled due to numerous horrific tragedies."
I love it.
That's really neat. I like it a lot. :)
Ugh-- I had a friend in college that like those circus peanuts so well that he had to give them up for Lent!
Very cute image however disgusting the candy!
Yes, I think the lion made a bad mistake.
Clearly, the lion tamer enjoys his circus peanuts. As for me, never had 'em. I always guessed they had the exact same consistency and taste as, say, styrofoam packaging peanuts.
Oops, I meant to say the LION enjoys his circus peanuts. I need more coffee.
A very polarizing candy. People either love them, or hate them.
I had eaten them for decades before it dawned on me that they were banana flavored!
Now I can’t stop asking, “Why banana?”
Love the storyline and pics. I say it's a good end to Gunter and all peanuts like him! I absolutely LOVED circus peanuts as a kid until one day I ate practically the whole bag. I got soooo sick to my stomach. I think I tossed my peanuts for the next 2 days. I've hated them ever since. Just looking at them makes me feel queezy.
Banana flavored really?!?! I won't have quessed that.
On with the blather
lol. I think they're disgusting, and this is a perfect thing to do with them.
a.w.e.s.o.m.e.
can't wait to see the human (peanut?) cannonball. :)
Terry,
Williams-Sonoma is selling "Chick Feet Wire Egg Holders, Set of 4"
Go to the site and see
them: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/sku5170667/index.cfm?pkey=gholebr
Perhaps they are copying you (or perhaps you are making them for Williams-Sonoma).
That was definitely one of your best ones yet! And I'm not just saying that as a bonafide Circus Peanut Addict (although more than three and my teeth hurt).
Any leftovers, please mail to Doug W., P.O. Box 5555...
I'm with you on this one! I can't stand those circus peanuts! Nothing more disgusting than a mouth full of .... mush? I don't even know what they are! Sorry Gunter....
mmmmm... circus peanuts... my husband buys me a bag for Christmas every year because he knows how much of an addict I am. It's little more than solidified sugar, so I'm not sure why they're such a hated candy! Must be a texture thing?
Anywhoo, keep up the fantastic work :)
I can't put my finger on it . . . but there is something about the word horrific being in italics that I find incredibly hilarious
You sir are brilliant!
Love your site.
I like where this is going :D
can't wait for more, terry.
I second the comments about making your teeth hurt.
Youch!
I misread the ringmasters sign the first time I saw it as "numerous horrific allergies." I thought it was an amusing tradgic-comedic moment, a peanut having to close his show due to allergies...
owowow...poor gunter!!! ;^D
btw, terry, congrats on your book!! that is just sooo cool.
Upon rereading this post I realized that I originally thought the sign said, "due to numerous horrific ALLERGIES", since, you know, there's such a big concern about peanut allergies these days! D'oh.
