Is it strange that when I hear "pistachio" the first thing I think of is ice cream? Is it also stange that I thought they were South American or African, for whatever reason?
Well, it turns out they actually originate in Central, in areas which today are part of Iraq and Afganistan. They're attested as a food as far back as 6750 BCE, though there is evidence that they were consumed even earlier than that.
Despite having numerous health benefits such as reducing blood pressure, and possibly lowering the risk of heart disease, pistachios can be surprisingly dangerous too. Apparently, they can spontaneously combust if stored in large quanties, or in flammable cloth bags. Yeah, forget about combustable lemons. Burn life's house down with green nuts.

Since it's the Day of the Dead, let's head on down to bar, down some margaritas with an appropriate side dish. Yeah, you know those bear nuts they serve at bars? Well, this is the Mexican equivalent. Chili and limes are certainly a unique blending of flavors, if nothing else.

No Nut November is for boys, Non-Stop Nut November is for men. Inpsired by a certain squirrel Vtuber, this month in lieu of frogs, I'll be bringing you... deez nuts. Yes yes, it is indeed a nutty premise, but that's the NNN meme in a nutshell.

This feels like a good way to cap off this year's Spooktober. Featuring a nice balance of the froggy and the spooky, this short is still fun over 90 years later.
It's a shame that Flip never rose to the same heights as other icons of the Golden Age of animation, and he is indeed a pretty obscure character, having appeared in shorts only between 1930 and 1933. And I admit that this particular cartoon is by no means a masterpiece.
Nonetheless, I'm always happy to see froggos be in the spotlight, and this time is no exception.
