I have bought the original in the duo of 2.6 cans. Love them, I just cannot stay out of them. I don't know about the other flavors they are presenting today. The ones I had were full of nuts. I think I would put my money in the original set, but that is just my opinion.

I was just reading the description of this item and was wondering what a 'Runner peanut' is. I've never heard of that one.

I ordered them. I love nuts of all types, both to eat at home and when traveling. I liked that this selection had the different types of packaging that would be good for both situations.

I don't need or want the extra flavorings- I prefer Kirklands (Costco's brand) unsalted deluxe mixed nuts. With pistachios!! - delish !

I was a little surprised to see this company get so big. It used to be a small family-owned Texas company. Their quality has always been excellent and if you needed a nice gift for someone at the office, their praline pecans in a can tucked inside a gorgeous wooden box made a great impression (around $65). I was looking online one day at Sam's and saw Squirrel brand there, but only the mixed nuts. Now they're on QVC? I hope they didn't sell out to a huge company. I ordered the TSV and hope it's still the same great quality.

After reading the ingredients this is a pass for me. They use partially hydrogenated soybean oil which is trans fat.

Me too. Looks like they're a variety of peanut that has uniform nut size.

I found this:

"Runner Peanuts are a category of peanut plants.

There are many varieties in this category; one popular one is the "Florunner", introduced in the 1970s. Other varieties include SunOleic (released by the University of Florida), and "Southern Runner."

The plants are low, bush-type plants, that will have two peanuts per pod. The peanuts are ready for harvest in 130 to 150 days.

They are grown primarily in Alabama, Florida and Georgia, but also in Oklahoma and Texas.

Runner Peanut plants tend to produce uniformly medium-sized peanuts. That means that they roast evenly, which makes them good for turning into peanut butter.

82% of the peanuts grown in America are Runner Peanuts (2004 figures.)

55% of Runner Peanuts (2004 figures) grown in America are used for peanut butter;
24% of Runner Peanuts (2004 figures) are used for candy."

We don't need the fat and sodium. There are much better snacks out there for my children and us .

Thank You! Who knew! I always just thought a peanut was a peanut. See how much I know.

I appreciated that some of the ingredients were from California but it was odd that they didn't mention where the rest of them were from. At any rate, I'll give it a try. I do a lot of just eating little bits as I cannot eat very much at one time anymore.

I order these from Sam's Club all the time. 42oz tins are$5 each with free shipping. Way less Q's price of $20 per tin, 4X what Sam's charges

Café Carmellata au Sel Pecans are $5 a tin. These are REALLY, REALLY good

Crème Brûlée Almonds run $8.50 for a 28 oz tin. Q charges $32 just because they're in individual bags.

If you don't have a Sam's club membership, you can order and pay the upcharge - still comes out to WAY, WAY less than on Q.

My opinion is that the price is ridiculous.
