TIL some people eat them.
Yeah I had no idea. It'd be fun to tell kids that if you eat them they'll pop in their belly, similar to the watermelon seeds growing one
Only the ones that cracked open a little bit
Even uncracked ones. I'll gently work them with my molars until they crack. Time consuming when there's too many though
I used to do that before I really had to worry about dentist bills
I never (intentionally) ate them, but when I was a kid sometimes I'd hit them with the bottom of a salt shaker. If they were still warm and especially a little bit cracked, they would sometimes then pop. Always thought that was neat.
(This might be harder to do in a movie theater. I did it on my parents' table. Probably should have done it on a cutting board or something, but I was a dumb kid.)
