Proof that maybe my officemate and I spend too much time together

[electricland]

Him (reading over an article on peanut allergy): Nu-Nuts? Nu-Nuts? Aren't those...

Me: You're thinking of Neuticles, aren't you?

Him: Yep.

And you don't want to know where the conversation went after we explained Neuticles to Officemate 3. Deary deary me.

(For the record, Nu-Nuts are apparently "artificial nuts" that are made from deflavoured, artificially flavoured peanuts. Ick.)

Just so that the candy companies don't mistake the two...

ick indeed. and heh, sounds like you and your officemate have some good fun. i hope so. :)

as for the artificial food product thus described...humans are really strange creatures to make such a thing.

We both find Neuticles just hilarious; it's a running joke around here. We do have a cat who was neutered at six weeks old, but I suspect he would be... startled were we to restore him to his lost glory.

On the other hand, I have to admire a set of officemates who not only read each other's minds, but do it about such a topic!

:D

I found it especially disturbing that the Neuticles site says you can get these things in different degrees of firmness. I mean... how would you...? Why would you...? The mind reels.

Of course if they make a difference between neutering your pet and not neutering it, then I'm all for Neuticles. But good lord.

We do have fun!

I assume Nu-Nuts are made for reasons of cost. Although it seems like an awful lot of extra work.

indeed and exactly. but somehow that feels very human....all that extra work for a very odd sounding result.
