Why People Stopped Eating Circus Peanuts

[@MashedFood]

Do you still eat circus peanuts?

[@SteveCarras]

Yes.

[@susanwahl6322]

Yep!

[@amycicero578]

Currently watching this video eating circus peanuts 😂

[@drewhendricks1992]

Yes

[@reefdiver200ft]

Yup, still do.

[@gozorak]

COME ON NOW! I STILL EAT CIRCUS PEANUTS!!!!!!

[@mandeehusky]

Same. Just Harder to find fresh.

[@carolfink3991]

Me too I love them 😊

[@DonVDBorgh]

Love them!

[@MissRB03]

Me too! 🧡

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

Me too!

[@christopherbrawley6945]

I love circus peanuts

[@Banjo362]

I agree with you sir.

[@rayschoch5882]

Circus peanuts are among my all-time favorite candies, along with candy corn. I never thought they tasted anything like a banana, though identifying just what flavor they did have would be a challenge. Mostly, they were sweet. When fresh, they simply dissolved on my tongue, which I loved, and when they were a bit stale (as I got older, I took to letting them get stale by leaving them out of the package and letting them sit for a few days), they became chewy, which I liked even better. They never lasted long enough to get crunchy.

[@suecastillo4056]

You’re crazy! These are one of my food groups!!! I LOVE them!!! and I’m NOT confused either…

[@sunnyaparece3532]

When I was a kid I had a teacher who would give them out to me on holidays because I loved them so much.

[@nicolebrown6450]

I agree Circus peanuts are fun! They are ridiculously sweet just like my other old favorite... candy corn. Ok hate on me. I can take it. 😊

[@astrinymris9953]

No hate: I love mellowcremes, especially the golden brown ones that came in the Halloween Mix. Now *that's* a niche taste! 😉

[@GassersGhost]

and month old peeps.

[@lilitharam44]

I used to eat them with my Great Grandmother and my daughter actually likes them, she's 19.

[@OGamerGirl92]

Circus Peanuts are Amazing

[@jasoncallan]

I love Circus peanuts. I always have.

[@chaddentandt9868]

I haven't seen these is years. They are good indeed.

[@marysikes250]

Please don’t speak for everyone I know at least 3 people that eat them and they are GOOD !!!

[@MikeLit6]

Oh shut up Mary

[@astrinymris9953]

I remember eating them as a kid; they were okay. I don't remember being thrown by the fact that they weren't peanut-flavored; I just accepted it. After all, they weren't peanuts, but instead *circus* peanuts, meaning they were their own thing.

[@nanabutner]

My grandmother, born in 1892, loved Circus Peanuts. I use to eat them, but after a while they became too sweet to eat!

[@PortiaChambers-rr5mx]

Not as confusing as Grape Nuts, which don't contain either grapes or nuts, don't taste like grapes or nuts and don't even look like grapes or nuts.

[@maryreneecyrdacus3422]

Pork and Beans too!! No pork.

[@theiran]

I still love them. I bought a bag last night and sadly, I ate all of them overnight. And still craving more...

[@stephanieyvonne9436]

My grandpa loved circus peanuts so of course I ate them too as a kid. I liked them but they weren’t nearly as good as a chocolate bar. Lol

[@davebrunero5529]

I love circus peanuts and they are awesome... But other people can have a wrong opinion...

[@Echowhiskeyone]

Chocolate covered circus peanuts. Before you laugh, try it. Then either thank me or curse me.

[@trishflorida4250]

Oreos and Banbanas are great together so you are probably right.

[@D-Elaine.dead-eye]

😯 sounds great!

[@erikgilson1687]

I have literally never had one. I've never been to someone's house where circus peanuts are available, nobody in related to has ever mentioned eating them so my only experience with them is seeing them in baggies at old school candy stores or markets

[@SubtleReed]

You forgot zagnant and clark candy bar

[@patriciap9307]

My Daddy owned a Clark gas station when I was little. At Halloween he would bring home boxes of the full size Clark bars to give out. Yes, ours was one of the most popular trick or treat spots in the neighborhood, lol! Good memories!

[@blueblousedesigns]

They still sell Zagnuts at Five Below

[@SubtleReed]

@@blueblousedesigns I'll check it out thanks for the update.

[@blueblousedesigns]

@@SubtleReed you're welcome

[@sonyafox3271]

⁠@@blueblousedesignsNope, it is just a brief video, the focus was on Circus Peanuts, it wasn’t about all the nostalgic candy that was ever put out!

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

I happen to love circus peanuts, and they are made about 35 miles from where I grew up.

[@debmajeski4463]

I'm 67 and still buy and eat my favorite candy! Bleev or not, munching on some as I watch this video.

[@redean2011]

Confusing that you say they disappeared but they are still available. They did not disappear.

[@bustownbc2787]

Who eats a banana like that in the mirror lol

[@adamgh0]

Girls who watched the "how to" video do.

[@ShanecaRene]

I love circus peanuts but since I no longer eat pork I don't eat them anymore 😊

[@marianparoo1544]

They have lard?

[@ShanecaRene]

@@marianparoo1544 it's made with pork gelatin

[@WaxPaper]

​@@marianparoo1544Well yeah, they're made from hog ends and shavings. That's why they flavor them banana, otherwise they'd taste like bacon.

[@rebeccamyott7041]

​. Spangler Brand circus peanuts have NO pork gelatin. They are glutin-free and free of common allergens. And come in different flavors. Enjoy🎉

[@ShanecaRene]

@@rebeccamyott7041 from my understanding that brand also uses pork gelatin to make their product

[@cindystrachan8566]

There is something for everyone, and circus peanuts are definitely a talking point. Those of us with discerning palates who happen to love these nuggets of mystery hope they will continue to be offered.

[@728huey]

I loved them as a young child but I can't eat them today because it's pure sugar.

[@Pettway1996Studios]

I’m still eating them and no one is stopping me

[@kathywelk9651]

I love circus peanuts especially when they are stale😆

[@MikeLutton]

i got some in my room right now they are soo good

[@roibigdawg4606]

Oh how I use to love these we don't have them in our area anymore

[@rebeccamyott7041]

I never stopped eating circus peanuts.❤❤❤

[@blueblousedesigns]

I LOVE Circus Peanuts. The way they melt in the mouth is like nothing else in the world.

[@kristens9310]

Biased! I love circus peanuts! They’re my fave and unique!

[@churblefurbles]

I kind of want to try one now.

[@VersieKilgannon]

Circus peanuts don't taste like bananas. They taste like bubblegum. And they're delicious. I just can't find them anywhere anymore 😅

[@SteveCarras]

Huh…Dollar tree, 99 storrr, and all drugstores

[@lurchbag1671]

because I can't, I won't and I dont stop

[@StamperWendy]

I never see them for sale BUT they're the only marshmallow candy I'll eat. The only other marshmallow products I'll eat are tiny marshmallows in hot cocoa & toasted marshmallows. That's it!

[@maryreneecyrdacus3422]

Me too!!

[@markw4263]

I go on quests for them every year or so - start quest 2024!

[@kevincoggeshall3079]

I have always loved circus peanuts

[@gingeranderson7263]

We buy them all the time. We love them. There is no problem getting them here in central Texas.

[@markwintersswfan6993]

There fantastic.

[@eileenglazer7978]

I still eat circus peanuts including ones in different colors/ flavors. Love them.

[@Eney53]

I always viewed it as just simply a dense marshmallow shapped like a peanut. Theyre amazing and taste wonderful. Its like a shock fluffy bersion of candy corn(taste wise imo)

[@carleigharnold2136]

Ahh yes, The infamous freak banana oil accident...😅🍌

[@RyanK-100]

Aside from milk chocolate, my favorite candy is the circus peanut. It's the unique "banana" flavor. the shape and color is certainly off-putting. If even 1% of the population likes the flavor and buys them, it's a reason to keep them on the store shelves. They don't go bad. And they are WAY more expensive now than 30 years ago.

[@dylan_1884]

I just had these for the first time (i'm 32) and they're FUCKING PHENOMENAL!! The texture is unlike any candy, the banana flavor is insane, I just love em!

[@pawfan]

The taste has changed over time. I use to actually like them, and almost go out of my way to get a bag of them. But a bad batch turned me off to them. It was more of the stale and hardness of the bag of Circus Peanuts in that store batch. A nice tasting batch is very enjoyable. Because they are unusual, don't make sense, makes them enjoyable to me...when they're done right.

[@GameMasterpg]

They should've called it Circus Banana Nuts

[@FRUGGOTHATFLIES]

When i first tried circus peanuts i asked my mom if i could swallow it cause i couldnt tell if it was gum

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Easy. They’re disgusting. Along with those peanut chews wrapped in wax paper, they always went straight into the trash on Halloween.

[@mjhepburn11]

I love artificial banana flavor, and I really enjoy the texture of circus peanuts. I even buy the Christmas and Easter versions when I see them.

[@EricJTannenbaum]

Man are they DELISH!!! Eating them with a cold glass of milk is the BOMB.. I still recall eating them with milk while reading all the Sherlock Holmes stories while a teenager.. so good But as noted by others below.. I don't eat them now because I dropped added sugar from my diet..

[@douglasparks8430]

I saw them at Cracker Barrel the other day. Should've picked them up. ALWAYS loved that banana flavor!

[@zoothief]

Whoever wrote this hit piece on circus peanuts, has serious deep seeded mommy issues

[@wolfpacva]

Circus peanuts are great and i still eat them.

[@minkvelour]

They don't taste like bananas and aren't confusing.

[@nicolemerrill9167]

I absolutely love them always have and they are everywhere in upstate NY but I just found out about the banana flavor a couple years ago

[@captcardor]

This is just psycho-babble. I love circus peanuts. This is just a "trend pressure". Herd mentality for those who only follow trends.

[@AKayfabe]

I stopped eating them only because they contain gelatine and I became vegetarian. But I really loved this candy, there is nothing wrong with circus peanuts for those who eat animal products they have a nice flavor.

[@impulse_xs]

I’m snacking on some circus peanuts watching this rn. I don’t care what anyone says I love them.

[@switchmasterluke1630]

Come on! Circus peanuts are wonderful! People haven't stopped eating them, just people with no taste or maybe no taste buds.

[@BusterKitten]

I've loved these candies since the late 50s. Still eat them

[@thomasdevine867]

The circus peanuts require flavor. Add some actual flavor to circus peanuts, and they might make a comeback.

[@SteveCarras]

They hav banana 🍌 flavor

[@cindirichmond9477]

I love circus peanuts & I still eat them . My kids and grandchildren love them too

[@frankenz66]

Because the last person born in the 1890's passed away in 2017?

[@angelasieg5099]

I'm weird I like them stale

[@ghostpeppered4524]

Thank you. I had to scroll all the way to the bottom for this!

[@lolnamelollastname9788]

Are circus peanuts anything like foam bananas?

[@Deathshack]

I love them though, It's one of those candies that you either hate it or love it.

[@Jendromeda]

i cant find them anywhere....haven't had one in 20 years at least.

[@trae4529]

I STILL love circus peanuts!

[@djSpinege]

In Canada they just look like bananas

[@StephenBaylor-kl8wx]

Put them on top of swee potater and bake big bowl of candy corn to garnish

[@anniereddj]

I really like them, always did and would still eat them if I could find them!!

[@bighouse6120]

I dont think they're that bad. A blast from the past.

[@johnortiz1964]

the worst candy ever is and will always be: MARSHMELLOW PEEPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@latonyasmith683]

I loved circuses peanuts!🙂

[@WaitingtoHit]

Why would someone analyze this for eleven minutes?

[@MsPammyBee]

Watching this while eating circus peanuts 🤣😂

[@nelsonjames1799]

Im enjoying eating circus peanuts while watching this

[@WaxPaper]

They're great with ranch sauce and a bit of tarragon!

[@LisaAlsenz]

I can't find them any where

[@thumbtak123]

I am guessing people stopped as they tasted gross.

[@Christine-q6w6j]

Circus peanuts are yummy.😮

[@pedrorodriguez7070]

I loveeee circus peanuts. They’re good!

[@sherryweeks5956]

I love them! They're banana flavored despite their color!

[@firestick4991]

I’m eating them right now! But it’s probably my last bag. I can’t find any that are not genetically modified. That’s why *_I stopped eating them!_*

[@patriciaschuster1371]

Get real, Toots! Still eat fhem!

[@l2d4l]

This video would have been half as long...if they didn't say 'circus peanuts'

[@edcniranj]

How dramatic. Circus peanuts are okay. Good and Plenty are disgusting, though.

[@TheSpock23]

Not sure which is worse....circus peanuts or candy corn. They are about equally horrible.

[@ajabrams]

I love them!!

[@sistersuetube]

Love them!

[@almeisam]

I love circus peanuts.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I still eat them...almost every day. Nothing wrong with them. "Mashed" is filled with more BS than any other youtube channel.

[@marylist1236]

I love Circus Peanuts

[@nicolemerrill9167]

The colored ones make smile even more

[@kermithious]

you laugh because im different, i laugh because you are all the same.

[@colorbugoriginals4457]

It's more a texture thing for me than anything else.

[@ricksmith6298]

I loved them !!!
