Appearance (shell off) [3/5]: It’s fine — I guess I like the patterns of brown from the inner shell.
Overall [3.3/5]: Great crunch but bland.
Texture [3/5]: It’s alright, but the crunch is a bit weak & leaves me unsatisfied.
Flavor [5/5]: Great! Distinctive & almost sweet maple-y flavor.
Appearance (shell on) [2/5]: Boring!
Appearance (shell off) [4/5]: Attractive, but why do they only come in halves?

Texture [4/5]:Better crunch than a pecan.
Flavor [4/5]: More bitter than a pecan, but still flavorful.

Texture [4/5]: Decent crunch, but a slight softness that prevents it from a 5.

Appearance (shell on) [3/5]: Alright, but I’m not a huge fan the half-open shell.

Overall [4.1/5]: A good, flavorful snack.

Appearance (shell off) [5/5]: Sleek, sexy & iconic.
Overall [4.2/5]: A crunchy, attractive nut.

Overall [2/5]: Not a good nut.

#XiJinping (President of #China)
I hope we can all agree that this man is a nut!
From his poor choice of “allies” (#Russia & #NorthKorea, really?) to his general incompetence at anything besides ruthless political power, there is not much to like about this nutty guy. However, I will award points for his cuddly, Pooh-like appearance.
Overall [2.5/5]: Pleasent appearance, but incompetent and harmful.
Texture [5/5]: An airy yet very satisfying crunch.
Flavor [4/5]: Mild, but pleasing — buttery and coconut-like.
Appearance (shell on) [4/5]: I like it — almost looks like a chocolate coating around the nut.
Appearance (shell off) [4/5]: Nothing special, but I rather like the shape.
Overall [4.2/5]: A good tropical snack.
