Sunkist Pistachios Nuts News - Salmonella Recall!



(Note: Sunkist Pistachios are ok, but don't eat them just yet!)

Wow, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes they could kill you? First it was peanut butter that was contaminated and now they are saying we need to avoid eating pistachio nuts due to salmonella infection. While these aren't a regular part of my crazy monkey diet, I'm beginning to worry that bananas aren't too far behind in all this hysteria!

According to CBS News:

A Central California company is recalling about 1 million pounds of pistachios over concerns of possible salmonella contamination.

Food safety officials are looking through Setton Farms' plant in rural Tulare County to see if it could lead them to the source of the contamination.

The recalls began last Friday when the Georgia Nut Company recalled its Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix after some samples tested positive for salmonella. Setton Farms has started a separate recall of roasted pistachios, and grocery operator Kroger also has recalled some pistachio products.

No illnesses have been reported.


Just so you're aware, for Sunkist Pistachios there hasn't been a recall of their products yet. The companies which have been recalled are mainly Setton Pistachio, Kroger and the Georgia Nut Company.

So far we're safe. They say if you have any pistachios around, don't eat them, but don't toss them out either. Maybe one day Salmonella pistachios will be worth money on eBay? Fat chance, but they are still trying to figure out which ones are infected. Read more about the story here.

Ok enough scary news for today I'm going to check out some new MP3 ringtones for my T-mobile!

Snuggies Cult Continues!

The Snuggies cult following continues...according to YouTube.com, there's not only Snuggies infomercials but also Snuggies Spoofs, Snuggies cults, Snuggies for cats and even the Church of Snuggies!

If you don't know what Snuggies are my friend, then maybe you don't have a television set. Snuggies are these funky blanket style robe things that make you look like a strangely colored Jedi Knight, Monk or as the video below shows, a cult member. These things are the most popular fad since the iPod and keep showing up everywhere you look these days...There's even Snuggies accessories and patterns being developed to create special designer styles...who woulda thunk it?

The video clip below will outline exactly what you can expect if you join the Snuggies cult...They aren't exactly my crowd due to their choices of reading material and foods!



I couldn't resist getting some after seeing the above clip, so my 2 Snuggies are on their way this week shipped from Vegas...Want to get your hands on or inside some Snuggies? Check out the latest Snuggies ebay listings here to get yourself Snuggified!

Crazy Monkey's Top 10 Hottest Blond Bombshell Babes!

nbc chuck yvonne strahovski hot blond babe
(Miss Stra-hotski scorches up the list!)

So many blonds so little time. This crazy monkey already shared with you his list of Sexiest Latinas on the Planet, which Miss Victoria del Rosal won hands down! So now here's my list of my favorite blond bombshell babes as of 2009. These girls mostly come from movies, television, wrestling and music world. WARNING: these chicas may cause your screen to go into meltdown mode!!

10) Britney Spears (music)
9) Stacey Keibler (former WWE Diva)
8) Torrie Wilson (former WWE Diva)
7) Kelly Kelly (current WWE Diva)
6) Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars)
5) Hayden Panettiere (Heroes)
4) Carrie Underwood (Musician)
3) Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck)
2) Elisha Cuthbert (Movies)
1) Scarlett Johansson (Movies)




It's a tough choice at #10, but this monkey still loves Britney. She's rocked the schoolgirl uniform, the flight attendant get up, even the snake, keeping her on the list! At the 9-7 spots I've selected three girls who like it rough, the hot blondes from the WWE Divas! If you watch Heroes you're already familiar with both Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Hayden Pannetierre, who's also featured in the music video above.

You'll also need to pay attention to my #3 spot. Miss Strahovski could easily bump Scarlett and Elisha out of that top spot, because she is scorchin' hot on NBC's Chuck...She's not afraid to handle a gun, get dressed up in costume and work on dangerous missions.. Srahovski's even been in 3-D! Believe it or not she's an Aussie lass from the land down under! According to an interview, she got the job for Chuck just 3 days after arriving to the USA. Yvonne, since you're reading my blog daily, let's do lunch and some espionage on the side!
