Peanuts, by American nature, are a baseball snack. Unfortunately, any major, minor, or junior league game offers them at a pretty shiney penny. So instead of spending half of my wallet on one bag of peanuts at the game, I opted to buy a collection of peanuts and bring them myself. For families with kiddos this is a great way to save a bit of money.

There are 48 packs in this set. Each package is just the right size for a kid aged from 5 to 12. Toddlers could probably eat about half of a pack. And teenagers could probably eat two packs. The packages are easy to open and because they're each individual- every single kid in the family can have their own package (instead of all sharing one big bag). They're also easily portable so you can stick a collection in your purse and pull them out when you need them. Great for little league games, picnics, school lunches, and road trips.

These are heavily salted- which we personally prefer, but some people may not enjoy. They do leave salt on your fingers, so you might want to bring whipes with if you're headed somewhere other than at home (it prevents an extra hand washing trip to the bathroom). The serving size is fairly small- so they make a good snack, but they're certainly not an entire meal. Great for afternoons!

I gave them four stars because I think the canned Planters peanuts taste better. These didn't seem as fresh as the canned ones- but they were yummy nevertheless.

I like 'em. I like 'em a lot. They are a good snack size. If I get a big jar, I tend to eat them all. Then I spend the rest of the day crying about how I am going to end up fat for my lack of willpower. This is an easy solution for that problem.

I bought a huge box of these things, and put them on the boat. When I'm diving, I can open a pack of these on the surface interval between dives and they make a great snack to provide energy for the next dive. I've also found that the seagulls really like these. I can spit them at the gulls floating near the boat and they'll dive under for them, catching them as they are sinking. It's a great way to pass the time during those boring surface intervals. I guess it's true that it really doesn't take much to occupy the mind of a child.

Ok....so, these are the 1 oz packs that you buy individually in a vending machine. Where I work, that is $0.60 per 1 oz pack out of the vending machine. With this order you get 48 of these 1 oz packs for less than $15. If I were to buy 48 packs out of the vending machine that would cost me almost double!!! So, if I would highly recommend you buying these and keeping them at your desk instead of buying them one at a time out of a vending machine!!!! I will be ordering more. Very Fresh!!!!! Update: I've purchased this three times now and have not been disappointed.

The size and packaging is perfect for our use. With my young grandchildren, we do "travel" learning. I've made each of them a passport and plane tickets, luggage tags, etc., to fly off to other lands we have learned about through art, stuffed animals, crafts, books, and other means. At the end of our week and learning, we line up dining chairs to simulate a flight while watching an "in-flight" movie on the TV. These peanuts are a staple in our flight snacks and the youngsters love them. I toss a couple packages into our real travel bags when heading off somewhere, too. I especially like being able to toss a couple packages into or backpacks when adventuring out by foot.

They are peanuts, really, what is there to review. Each pack is smaller than you would think, but peanuts are high in calories, so it is what it is for 170 calories.

If I had to make a complaint, it would be that some bags are extremely salty while others have the right amount of salt.
