18. Circus Peanuts = the Devil's Candy

[undergroundpanther]

30. Them thangs scare me

And they NEVER ever go bad. I think circus peanuts will be around for eternity,Long after humans blow themselves up, millenia from now archeologists of the next advanced species of life (roaches) will excavate our eramfind circus peanuts, and wonder what the fuck they are,and long after that aliens will dig around see circus peanut shrines wonder what the fuck they are,long after life on earth has expired.
One might even figure it out and lick one and it will taste the same kinda bad and fascinating not sure if it's good or not but eat it anyway as the day it was made.
