Monkey nuts don't contain monkeys (or, indeed, just their testicles).
But nowhere on the packaging did it say that monkey nuts contain peanuts. There are people out there who do not know what is in the food they eat. My stepdaughter's room-mate (mid 20s graduate) was horrified to go out with the group and find only pork on the fixed menu. She managed to cobble together a veggie alternative to tide her through 'til they got home, and then she could make herself a ham sandwich. Cue lots of puzzled faces and a diplomatic re-education. Then someone tentatively mentioned that she also couldn't really have her favourite, bacon. She actually wailed.
