Are You Ready for the Tube of Terror Challenge?

It’s time to nut up or shut up. Are you ready to prove your nutty dominance once and for all? Then get ready. The same people who brought you the Toe of Satan Challenge and the Death Nut Challenge bring you the next level of hot nut bravery: the Tube of Terror Challenge! 


Tube of Terror Challenge 

“I cannot express enough how hot these nuts are,” says one brave nut lover from Texas. It’s true. Don’t embrace the Tube if you can’t handle the Tube. What exactly is this Tube we speak of? Well, it’s a container filled with 30-45 peanuts. 


“Only 30 to 45?” you’re thinking, foolishly. “That’s not too many. How bad can this challenge really be?” Well, buckle up, because it’s going to be a spicy ride. The coating on these Tube of Terror nuts comes from five different types of peppers plus pure capsaicin crystals. Do you know what capsaicin is? It’s the stuff that gives chili peppers their spiciness, and someone was foolhardy enough to distill it down to its purest form. When people figured out that such a thing could be done, they never stopped to think about whether or not humanity was ready for it. Still want to put those nuts in your mouth? Alright, then. Let’s go. 


Who Will Win? 

Now, it’s time to start the Tube of Terror Challenge. Grab four or five other people, the Tube, and some beer. Go ahead and grab some milk or bread while you’re at it, because you’ll eventually want to extinguish the heat. We’ve mentioned this before, but do not -- and we cannot stress this enough -- use water after eating spicy nuts. It’ll only make the heat so much worse. Take turns eating one nut at a time. Trust us, one nut at a time is all it takes. See who can go the longest without taking a drink. Who will win? Will you be the spicy nut champion? There’s only one way to find out. 


Now, this challenge is for extreme spice lovers only, and anyone with spice sensitivity should stick to just watching others take on this intense challenge. Children and elderly people need not play, and for the love of nuts, make sure that everyone who plays knows exactly what they’re getting into. Never foist these nuts upon an unsuspecting person. 


Get Your Tube Now 

Are you daring enough to get your own Tube? Can you and your friends handle the Tube of Terror Challenge? Then get your Tube from Try My Nuts today. We salute your bravery. Or maybe it’s foolishness. Either way, these nuts are delicious.

Not Your Mama's Snack Attack

Where do you put those gifts you don’t want? Come on, admit it - you’ve got a regifting closet or shelf stuffed with vases, shower and bath sets, loofahs, spoon holders, and scarves and hats you don’t like. And just like anything else that misbehaves, gifts do too - that’s why we put them in time out until we can figure out what to do with them.  Consider the ugly sweaters you’ll wear - over your dead body. We all have well-intentioned loved ones and office workers who wouldn’t leave us out for the world come holiday time. The problem is, how well do they know us? How could they possibly pick out something special? And for that matter, how can we pick out something for someone we hardly know? We can’t - that’s the problem... which brings us to the solution. Let’s face it: not everyone shares our tastes and vice versa. What to do? Send food! Comfort food! Snacks.  Ah, but what kind of snacks? We’re talking Try My Nuts, of course. We take the fear out of gift-giving every singl...

Try My Nuts from the Start

W hy  Try My Nuts ? It’s the Outer Banks experience. Way back in 1999, we started our first store in Corolla, NC. That’s where the Corolla wild horses roam. If you’ve never seen them, it’s difficult for someone else to describe the experience. You just have to be there, feeling the wind and the ocean and the beach and watching wild horses run free. It’s a good feeling. Being a fun-loving family, we wanted to extend that feeling of freedom we felt at the OBX. So, we took a chance and started our first beach store with only 600 square feet of retail space and no idea which way the wind would blow. Well, that summer we were a hit. And then it didn’t stop but kept on going year-round. We quickly outgrew that first store, and now, 19 years later, we’re still sharing Outer Banks munch satisfaction and sandy grit wit with our many happy customers. With seven retail locations – four on the Outer Banks, NC and three in Ashland, VA, Pigeon Forge, TN, and Palm Desert, CA -- plus a...
