 <\/p>\n

I confess I am not by nature an early adopter. I still like manual typewriters, stick-shift cars, and simple appliances with on and off buttons instead of confusing symbols. I still do not know how to text.\u00a0I am, however, very proud that I was in the vanguard when it came to hating the circus. I remember how out of sync I was when, at age nine, my parents took me to the circus at Madison Square Garden. I screamed in horror at the clowns, I was a whining bummer when the ringmaster with a whip made the frightened horses jump through fiery hoops, and I only perked up when the lion tamer stuck his head into the lion\u2019s mouth. I was hoping he would be decapitated.<\/p>\n

Now everyone has jumped on the \u201cI hate the circus\u201d bandwagon. It is under attack by animal-rights activists and fire departments and performers unions.\u00a0The glory days of Barnum and Bailey are long gone. People with compassion no longer want to see elephants paraded down Main Street holding tail in trunk; the dirty-water hot dogs and rancid clouds of ancient cotton candy no longer hold sway with kids of all ages.<\/p>\n

There is one tangential remnant of the circus that thrills me to the bone, and that is the low-grade confectionary candy called Circus Peanuts. Circus Peanuts, as far as I can tell, have literally nothing to do with circuses, or even with peanuts. They are usually found on the bottom candy shelf at gas-station convenience marts or at some chain drug stores.<\/p>\n

A Circus Peanut is a about two inches long, it is the anemic orange color of the astronauts\u2019 favorite drink, Tang, and it has been machine stamped to vaguely resemble a shelled peanut.\u00a0The most amazing thing about Circus Peanuts is they are always stale. Not rock-hard but weirdly deflated and tough. It is hard to make a marshmallow go stale. In my kitchen pantry, I have a bag of them that has seen me through four years of holiday yam casseroles, and they are still squishy and fresh. Therefore one can\u2019t blame the problem with Circus Peanuts on the general pillowy constitution of the marshmallow.\u00a0Maybe even more mysterious then the ubiquitous staleness is that, for no logical reason, Circus Peanuts are banana flavored. Real peanuts are none of these things.<\/p>\n

I have a few theories.<\/p>\n

Theory 1:\u00a0Decades back, when the Circus Peanut was invented, no one thought much about lawsuits. Ladders did not warn you that you should not jump from the top of them and people assumed hot coffee was hot.\u00a0It may well be that the peanut industry was highly litigious and ahead of its time and woe to anyone who dared call something a peanut that wasn\u2019t. Hence orange skin and banana flavoring became a protective shield against potential\u00a0wrath.<\/p>\n

Theory 2: Perhaps someone who lived in, say, Antarctica and had never seen or tasted a peanut invented Circus Peanuts. These\u00a0are\u00a0imaginary peanuts, a fantasy.<\/p>\n

Theory 3: Around World War II,\u00a0when the Circus Peanut was invented, the manufacturer was worried about shortages. A big Quonset hut was purchased to warehouse tons of them. The reason they are all stale is that we are still eating the original batch today.<\/p>\n

It is very uplifting to know that all Circus Peanuts will taste exactly alike. Unlike M&M\u2019s or Oreos, there have not been a million riffs on the basic formula. So far, I have not seen chocolate-covered ones or pink ones or bizarrely large or small ones.<\/p>\n

I wish I had the same sense of tradition about Marshmallow Peeps, those vaguely chicken-shaped candies sold at Easter.\u00a0Marshmallow Peeps have joined the popular crowd. They now come in every size and every color and are on the supermarket shelves year round. But the flashy new upgrade has not addressed the fact that they all stick to each other, have no flavor at all, and go instantly stale. If they started out stale, like Circus Peanuts, it would not be as noticeable. There is a lesson to be learned here.<\/p>\n
