Are you nuts about nuts?

Vince brought home these packets of nuts. They were given to him on Batik airlines. One is Spicy Salted Caramel and the other Cacao Cinnamon. It’s funny how ‘salted caramel’ has become flavour of the year and turns up everywhere.
And to pad this out a bit: Vince’s brother travelled 500 kilometres to join a boat cruise hoping to see orcas (killer whales). We’ve just heard that one woman became so seasick they’ve had to return to port after only going about halfway. The passengers have been given passes to take the cruise within the next three years.
I feel sorry for the woman and hope she’ll be okay but it’s still very disappointing for the other passengers.

Yes, I love nuts of different kinds and flavorings.
Oh, that's too bad! I guess the boat didn't stock seasick meds for the passengers.

@JudyEv I would guess so or they wouldn't have done that.

. I love nuts and both sound really good.
That's really disappointing about the cruise even though I feel bad that that woman was so seasick they had to turn around and go back to port. Even with 3 years who knows how many of those other passengers will be able to take the cruise again.

@JudyEv I would think that woman had more issues than just seasickness. I doubt the cruise would have returned to port otherwise.

@Marilynda1225 That's true - and they came back at speed so it must have been something a bit worrying.

@JudyEv I think it can. I went on a cruise with friend once years ago..and he didn't get sick from that, Of course those ships are a lot bigger and more stable though.

Are you saying nuts are expensive there? I don't buy them as they seem to irritate my throat.

That's too bad about the woman getting sick. I'll bet she felt really guilty about the cruise being messed up besides feeling physically bad. She must have been in a very bad state! I hope she recovered. I love salted caramel flavor, but I don't know if I could handle the spicy part. Put me down for the cinnamon cocoa!

What a disappointment. I feel sorry for the woman; but also I'm sorry for the other passengers.
I love nuts...lightly salted.

Nuts stick in my throat for some reason so I've just about given up on them.

I really love nuts! They’re one of my favorite snacks. I feel terrible for both the woman and the other passengers.

I haven't heard of groundnuts. Nuts can be very versatile.
