Confession time: I’m a peanut addict. I’m trying to wean my way off of them, but when the package has icons like “Mr. Cool Guy” (pictured) on it, I’m lost to the crunch. Now, I normally consume a lot of peanuts, so much like the old “what would they do with all the animals” dumb question about the world going vegan, I have to be responsible and ask a dumb “what will happen to all the peanuts” question before I lower my consumption levels.
The answer has arrived! Scientists have figured out a way to turn peanut butter into diamonds. I think this would make them a lot crunchier. Researchers have created a machine that applies humongous amounts of pressure to stuff, and you just know they crushed everything in their lab before coming up with something newsworthy like peanuts. Hmm, why didn’t hamburgers make the list?
Sadly, the research is gearing towards pharmaceutical stuff, which means that instead of making diamond and jam sandwiches, the process may ultimately lead to further animal research, unless it turns out that diamonds cure everything.
