The leguminous lies of Mr Peanut

April 5th, 2008

We’ve seen the awesome spectacle of Cock-Eyed Science Club on SciencePunk before - last time they were testing the traffic-slowing capabilities of Mr Potato Head. I’m proud to award them a second Science Punk prize, given to those who’ve made a piece of science both entertaining and educational on a loose-change budget.

This time the club decided to test Mr Peanut’s claim that a tin of Planter’s Mixed Nuts contained no more than 50% peanuts. How awesome is this experiment? It contains glamorous scientists:

hammer wielding action:

and science buddy high fives!

Plus, there’s a thrilling plot twist toward the finish, and it all ends in delicious style. What more could you want? (link)
