cal 6 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I used to not think about eating snacks (bowls of peanuts) that are available at some bars, but now won't touch them after seeing something about it on a documentary. Made me think twice. How about you? Touch them or not? Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Nope. They are scary. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Not if they are a free for all (unless I'm very drunk and very hungry) but lots of J-bars give you your own private little bowlful. I usually eat those ones. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Ah yes the little tiny packets - they are ok! Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 having witnessed a friend wizz in a barrel of peanuts because he couldn't be bothered to get up to go to the toilet, i would have to say no. in japan i have had difficulty in turning down the snacks that they offer and then charge you for. talk about weasel! now as for the "snacks" offered at SnackBars in japan, i try to avoid those at all costs.

ncorrenti 0 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I've never been to a bar with peanuts on offer for free... I probably wouldn't eat them anyway, I'm not a big fan of salty snacks. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Ah, the "snacks" they throw at you in certain traditional bars and the like. I often wonder if anyone actually likes them. My Japanese friends don't seem to excited. Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Beer sometimes makes them appealing. But only a lot of beer. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Talking of snacks, recently discovered a new one that I'm totally addicted to. It's called Cratz Pretzel & Almond, there's a few flavors but my boom is the Pepper Bacon one. Totally yummy. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Think I saw the same doco..where they found traces of fecal bacteria in the "public peanut bowl"..nasty stuff. Don't see it to often here..the private bowl is OK!! Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 You only have to see how many guys don't wash their hands after using the toilet to imagine what those bowls are full of. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I avoid the ones that everyone can dip into, always have. I just wish those little "private packs" were a bit bigger - you know, maybe a few more than 2 peanuts and 4 kakinotane in them would be good. Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I used to get stuck in to them until I saw a similar documentary. Then again if I reacted like that to all documentaries, I don't think I'd be able to sleep in my bed at night or do much else. Those nuts are definitely off the menu though Link to post Share on other sites
