Golden Nuts

Do you remember those squirrels from Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Well, they’ve branched away from the Wonka Factory and have opened up their own store in Albany Westfield.
That’s right, it’s an entire kiosk that sells nothing but freshly roasted nuts.
They love giving out free samples as well, which is always a winner and do a whole range of almonds, cashews and peanuts to name a few. The kiosk itself has a slightly Wonka-​esque vibe to it: all rich reds and golds and pictures of their squirrel founders on the front.
I kind of just don’t get the point of it. I don’t get the same craving for a bag of peanuts as I do for a bag of lollies or chocolate but they are some pretty tasty nuts. I went for just a standard small bag of spiced peanuts, which were really nice and at $ 3.50 for a bag are pretty good value considering the amount of them you get. I just can’t help but wonder if I’d have just been better off buying a much cheaper bag in the supermarket.
