Running Low!

[JWMINNESOTA]

I was starting to run low on Georges packaging peanuts, so a quick contact and...

Hidden amongs all them peanuts was a fine new kit, Lambrusco!

Not the all juice kit I really wanted, but a call from dear ol' Mom in New Mexico

thatshe was coming in August made me rethink, and go for the early drinker.
Of courses one of the great delights found amongst all those fresh peanuts was the labels, designed by Waldo, looking Good

So...dear sweet Mom can enjoy Minnesota...and this year, I won't even notice she's here!

Thats quite the collection of peanuts.

I open all of my packages from George at the local carwash, I just pull up to the vacum, open the box, take out any small items that were packed and then vacum the peanuts from the box

The Lambrusco is comiing alonge fine, should be ready for secondary Thursday or Friday.

Smells incredible, and the fermintation...well, I can hear the thumping when im down in the basement

, also had some bottling to do today, Pinot Grigio came out just fine.

Didnt have enough clear bottles, and the ol hobby shop only had green left, so a few in green.

I had already taken some to the basement when I thought of a few pics, so before you ask, that accounts for the missing ones...BUUURP

Nice Job JW.

We are going to try some new peanuts. Not suppose to carry the static electricity of the ones we use. Will be curious as to feedback.


By the way, the wine looks really good.

Are they the edible peanuts George? If so they are less susceptible to electrostic charges. They are made out of vegetable oil and can actually be eaten, but I don't know who would want to

We used to get them from one of our computer parts suppliers and didn't stick nearly as bad as normal ones.

Who'da thunk there were so many peanut types!
I recall getting some biodegradable peanuts years ago in stuff from REI -- they literally "melted" away in water...I think they weremade from a wheat byproduct. I like Waldo's idea though -- but I'm too excited about the box to cart it off somewhere else to open!

 

[geocorn]

The bio-degradable peanuts are made from corn starch. Put them in water and they disolve. You can also eat them.


We tried using them, but they compact too much and, as a result, do not provide as much cushionas the styrofoam peanuts.


We also looked into using the air bags, but they cost more and don't do as well as the styrofoam.

How about cashews?

I like the honey roasted George!

 

[geocorn]

I like cashews any way they come!

Macadamia nuts, pistachios, brazil nuts, hazelnuts. I am just a nutty person

!

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

Its all in fun, id rather have a bag of those peanuts than damaged goods, as long as we all are giving you a hard time on the nuts, the products must be arriving ok.

 

[NorthernWinos]

We got a delivery of livestock drugs once that was packaged in popcorn...threw it out to the birds...Wonder if they had run out of peanuts or what????

 

[geocorn]

The peanuts do their jobvery well. We have damaged packages at a rate of about 1 per 1,000 shipments. I will take that failure rate any day! We lose more packages due to the driver not delivering the package than we do with damage, although we don't have much of a problem with that either. Except in a few isolated pockets, FedEx Ground has down an outstanding job.

 

[Wade E]

1 per 1000 =

customers!

George:


You just have to start stocking carmel corn - then I can order candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize (or a bunch of prizes)! Reminds me of my childhood.
And as always -thanks to Mark for the great job he does packaging and shipping - even if it means having to search for that last item.Edited by: maize
