At first I was like man, that person has a lot of sunflower seeds stocked up, that must have been a lot of sunflowers in their yard, but good for them..

But nope, these are just shells. Hopefully these shells haven’t been in anyone’s mouth…Imagine the mold at the bottom of that tote..

Why would anyone keep this? What do you do with them at this point? Assuming they were seasoned, you can’t really use them as mulch (salt), so like maybe compost, but even then adding that much salt all at once wouldn’t be doing your pile any favors..

I guess you could use them as mulch/ground cover where you didn't want stuff to grow? Or maybe you could rinse them to reduce the salt?

Or maybe he eats unsalted sunflower seeds.

Homie there are pizza flavored ones

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bruh wtf. I have only seen normal ones. Maybe we just don't have them in my country. There is a lot of stuff we don't have just because it's a smaller country.

See if bigs exist where you live. They have pickle, bacon, ranch, cheese, a ton of crazy flavors. Amazon has em too.

You binge an entire bag and your mouth's off duty for the next 24 hours. Unsalted delivers the important crunch but keeps pain mostly away.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

The salt is just as important as the crunch

Honestly, as a sunflower seed girlie, my mouth got used to that years ago. It doesn't happen anymore. I can go through multiple bags if I want without that happening.

[–] whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Wait there are non-salted ones?

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Would it mold necessarily? Shells dry out pretty quick, I feel like there would of course be bacteria, but I'm not so sure about mold.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago

It's not hard to crack sunflower seeds and then separate the seeds from the shell without putting it in your mouth.

Also, assuming these are not salted and if they are going into a compost pile that is reaching the correct heat, it won't matter if it was in someone's mouth or even if there is mold on it as it will literally cook out.
