Apparently Iran is one of the worlds biggest suppliers of pistachios, so they started growing them in the US and the Dubai chocolate craze switched over US consumption from Iran imports to California. Cutting off Iran's exports.
LOL no.
Iran was the primary supplier of the world's pistachios several decades ago, but right around the time of the hostage crisis in the 1970s, it was realized they could be grown in California.
Bonus reason to buy the American ones: the Iranians used to dye the pistachios with red powder to hide how many of them had gone bad.
That was used for a gag in the first "Naked Gun" movie:
Absolute scenes at the poker tonight.
From ~30 got down to the final table. Me and one other guy.
I pull two 6's - solid hand.
Flop - K, 3, 6.
Triple 6's so I go all in. He goes all in.
Turn over. He's double kings, I'm trip 6. He's raging.
Next card, 4. I'm winning.
Final card, 5. FUARK. He's got double kings and a straight.
Still won £75 so GG. But fuck me.
@Victor It's all manufactured.
There was a oversupply of pistachio and so someone came up with Dubai chocolate as a way of selling them.

Perhaps some coinage / carnage will help to clarify… the choice is, as always, yours.
@Typo-MAGAshiv Yeah, it’s mostly just FOMO marketing and people pretending to like it. It’s this weird herd mentality thing where people get to signal how “exquisite” their taste is. But this one’s funny because, like you said, it just tastes mildly interesting, as if nobody’s ever had a fkn pistachio before, and it looks like Shrek’s jizz after violating you for an entire summer.
Speaking of which, if you can market yourself to girls, or society in general, the same way pistachio chocolate markets itself, or really any product that’s relatively cheap to produce but sells at a massive markup, you already have a solid foundation in game. A lot of game is basically the ratio between perceived value and actual production cost.
