Yow is a new brand of foods that takes natural snacks, like blueberries and nuts, and packages them in drink bottles.

I kinda like the image of a runner "drinking" this bottle of roasted salted almonds.

The product labels actually touts almonds as a "health food", claiming that it's a great source of monounsaturated fats, which lowers bad cholesterol, and raises good cholesterol. It also lists out several vitamins.

The combination of the sports style drink bottle and the claim to be heart-healthy, is a way to position salted nuts as some kind of muscle-building product.

Just as the name implies, "Real Buffalo Peanuts" are peanuts made from real Buffaloes.

Ok, no, they're peanuts seasoned with "Buffalo Wing" spices. But, when I saw the name "Real Buffalo Peanuts" the first thing that entered my mind were Rocky Mountain Oysters, or some kind of new derivative from another part of the country.

The spicy snack food is the creation of Nuts Are Good! Inc. of Warren, Michigan.

They've been around for over a year now.

The company actually specializes in a wide assortment of odd peanuts seasonings, including...

• Vanilla Rum Peanuts


• Margarita Peanuts


• Pina Colada Peanuts


• Apple Cinnamon Peanuts


• Raspberry Peanuts


• Coconut Peanuts

But according to the company, Real Buffalo Peanuts is their all time best seller.
