I also figured this was just a "let's screw with the youth"-type post. We used to eat pistachios all the time when I was a kid (I'm 35) and I don't think I've ever seen a red one before today. They were always beige/greenish.

We over-60s remember when pistachios were red, airplane security was non-existent and everywhere smelled like cigarettes.

I'm two decades younger and remember all that except red pistachios. And my family used to eat a lot of pistachios.

Hey, I'm not even 40 and I remember getting to check out the cockpit of a plane multiple times. And the brown glass ashtrays at McDonalds.

I'm also 35, and I remember the red ones. But my mom ate a lot of pistachios and sunflower seeds when she quit smoking in the mid 90s

Now smoking is much more financially responsible than eating pistachios

Yeah, I'm 38 and remember red pistachios. Also remember finding some sort of worm thing burrowed into one of those red pistachios, while I was sitting at my grandfather's kitchen table eating pistachios. Didn't stop me. Well, it stopped me from eating that one. But I'm always leery if a pistachio has a hole in it.
