9. Why are pistachios so addictive?
Because they’re lean, mean, and green!

10. Can pistachio shells be used for anything besides being tossed in the trash?
Try grinding them up and tossing them in the garden — they’ll provide a protective force field that will deter snails and slugs from trespassing.
