I am not quite certain if these are peanuts or pistachio's (I think the latter because I saw them all over town). Every city seems to have a special agricultural product, I have seen huge grapes and apples and chicken, that they show off in this funny way.
I liked the chicken one: it had a line attached like "The chicken comes from the egg, and the egg comes from [name of place]". I am too lazy now to look it up.
