Baa #12

In vein of explaining how things work...

Me:
Every wonder how does companies make packaged shelled nuts?
I mean, when you open a pack of honey-roasted hazelnuts or peanuts without the shell, wonder how they do it?

Simple!

Firstly, the nuts are put into a machine where huge hammers bash away at them, cracking the hard shells.
Then, special nut magnets are used to suck the nuts away from the battered shells.
Of course, different magnets are used for different nuts - you have sunflower seed magnets for sunflower seeds, walnut magnets for walnuts and peanut magnets for peanuts!

And all they have to do, is collect the nuts from the magnets and package them!
