warspite1, this is why I started the Peanut Brittle thread-it is amazing stuff.

I have been told that Matrix Games is developing a new, ancient warfare game. The few details I have revolve around Peanut Brittle. In the game catapults will hurl boulder sized clumps of Peanut Brittle, laced with poison, that will either crush or slowly kill all the enemy. I suspect YOU have some details to add.

Oh, the dvd and box for physical versions will be made of 100% Brazilian PB. There will be a warning on the box to not eat the Peanut Brittle DVD or box, but to merely lick them for pleasure.
Warspite1

Yes that is correct. There is almost certainly going to be a game coming soon that will deal with the role that PB played in the art of war 70BC - 400AD. I hope to provide some details in due course, but just want to check out the terms of the NDA first.

One point I must correct you on; there will be NO Brazilian PB used in the manufacture of the boxes. The stuff is just tooooooo unpredictable to be allowed out amongst the general public. Matrix may use Belgian PB for the boxes. That stuff is pretty boring and harmless.

I had a feeling you would dream up, uh, I mean have access to information about this game.

Please, let's beg Matrix to avoid that dreadful Belgian PB. We could lobby for the always excellent Japanese Wasabi Peanut Brittle.
Warspite1

Er are you sure?? I tried that stuff once and was ill for days - infact I'm not sure I ever recovered. Raw Fish and seaweed mixed with Peanut Brittle tastes like it sounds - especially as they often forget to sift the seaweed for human detrius from a day at the beach

FINE. What, besides boring Belgian PB and "weak as water" British PB would you suggest.[&:]

Why thank-you for asking Steiner me ol' China. Aha I'm a poet and don't know it!!

I would go for Italian - Maccaroni Cheese Surprise. You take the Maccaroni Cheese (always use Canadian Cheddar) and then minus the Peanut Brittle for that little surprise.

I suspect Steiner will be able to tell us. I know Ambrose would have known, but as he died in a freak yachting accident three years ago, I cannot ask him.

PSSPB was developed for use in constructing mobile homes/trailers for southern(U.S.) white trash to live in.

Indeed so. I understand from Ambroses book "Peanut Brittle: The Post War Years, that allegedly Britney Spears wanted to pay homage to the role PSSPB played in her Louisiana trailor park years; in particular she wanted to warn teenagers of the dangers posed by Brazilian PB . The original version of Hit Me Baby One More Time was to have been very different to that ultimately released, and I give below the original version (as alleged by Ambrose):

[1st Verse]
Oh Brazilian PB
How was I supposed to know
That you weren’t meant for eating
Oh Brazilian PB
I should have left you alone
But now my tummy’s taken a beating
Forgive me for being so damn needy
Tell me PB cause I need to know now oh because

[Chorus]
My tummy now is killing me
(And I)
I must confess I’m so greedy
(so greedy)
When I don’t eat you I lose my mind
but If I ask for BPB again
Hit me baby one more time

I could never convince people that Mrs. Spears had brain damage from eating BPB.

No, straight up - this is serious dude. BPB is dark and heavy. It can make your hair fall out too - just ask Britney.

I heard that Sinéad O'Connor ate some BPB. But since her hair fell out after eating the BPB she didn't dare eating it any longer. She then did the song "Nothing Compares 2 U". BPB has quite an effect on people.

Good call on the Sinead O'Connor front Orm. She's as mad as a box of spanners obviously, but I never thought it was BPB that caused it. Is that what gave her the hideous tattoos all over chest too?

Indeed that is so. Perhaps equally as pertinent given the Forum that we inhabit:

- Hitler gave the order for Case White after sniffing some of Goering's BPB
- Mussolini was turned quite mad after inhaling the stuff during an Austrian BPB gas attack in WWI
- Kate Beckinsdale agreed to act in Pearl Harbor after having her drink spiked with the stuff at a hollywood party. Poor lass must have been completely out of it.

Very interesting and very true Warspite1.

Also, when you see Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr bouncing around on the moon it is not, as believed by many, to be a lack of gravitational pull. Rather it was the Brazilian Peanut Brittle flavored Tang that caused the astronauts to experience strange bodily movements. The BPBT was not used again, until Obama supporters started drinking it in 2008.[:D][;)]
