Lotta Nuts
"The Hollywood Reporter received a whole lotta nuts on Monday.
About 1,050 pounds of nuts flooded the THR mailroom, causing rampant chaos -- if "rampant chaos" can be defined as annoyed mailroom employees having to maneuver around 42 boxes of shelled nuts.
"Jericho" fans famously bombarded CBS last year with about 50,000 pounds of nuts to help persuade the network to pick up the show for a second season. CBS executives -- displaying a mix of pride and annoyance -- donated the nuts to charitable causes.
THR, however, is not a fancy broadcast network with a private commissary and neighboring Grove, but an oft-frantic Mid-Wilshire newsroom. When you're on a daily deadline and have skipped lunch because Tim Russert died, you need a desk drawer stocked with protein. Deliveries of free snacks, in other words, tend to be attacked like a UNICEF airdrop. So one of the 25-pound boxes of nuts that was brought to the newsroom was well-received, and by Tuesday several other boxes had vanished from the mailroom."

Texans love their nuts. I know this because while living in Austin in the ‘90s, I got more Christmas gifts of homemade fancy-coated nuts (like cinnamon-sugar pecans) than I could ever eat in a season. “Driveby” nuts also are quite common at Texas roadside stands, which typically offer chipotle peanuts and other spicy concoctions by the bag.
