I popped in to the supermarket last night after work.
Scene: The checkout.
Cashier: Hello! Can I help you with your packing?
Me: No, I'm fine thanks. (Loads shopping onto conveyor belt.)
Cashier: Ooh, sprats. We don't see those often.
Me: No?
Cashier: Ooh, Ciabatta. I love Ciabatta.
Me: Yes, me too.
Cashier: Monkey nuts! It's funny. I never really thought of monkey nuts being a Halloween food thing.
Me: .....

I'd be speechless too. I had to google 'monkey nuts', couldn't imagine what you were buying!
I had to google too...we just call them peanuts here:)
These were in a bag labelled "Monkey Nuts" with orange and black Halloween designs all over it. Very odd.
I think of peanuts in their shells as monkey nuts - but if you've never heard the term, the mind must boggle. Um, friendly cashier. Good to have someone engaged in their work, I s'pose.
