Six Kinds of Pistachios. Six Characters.
Pistachio
Pals
You'll Never Look at a Bag of Pistachios the Same Way Again.
Every bag of pistachios holds six very different kinds of nuts. They've been hiding in plain sight all along. We just classified them and gave each one its own unmistakable definition.
Those six kinds of pistachios inspired six unforgettable characters, each with a personality and backstory to match. Now their stories are coming to life, beginning with Stuck in the Couch. Three books, three different adventures, and who knows? They might all just find their way to a little place called Nutshella.
Six Kinds of Nuts
Meet the Pals
Every bag of pistachios hides the same six kinds of nuts. Each one has a name, a classification and a story. Which ones have you found in your bag?
“Hey, that’s a Kryptonut!”
“Oh, man... I got a Trickstachio!”
“Oh great... a Broka-Nailnut. Cali Fornie strikes again! Looks like I’m heading to the nail salon.”
Which one will be your favorite? We have a feeling you might just fall in love with more than one.
The unbreakable nut. Its shell stays shut no matter what you try.
The nut with no shell at all. A rare bonus at the bottom of the bag.
The empty shell. Looks wholesome, but there is no nut inside.
Looks pleasant, tastes sour. The past-prime nut that ambushes your taste buds.
The regular old nut that is so relaxing you eat the whole bag.
The tiny crack. You can peek inside, but a fingernail will never open it.

Trouble comes in all shapes and smells.
Known hazards inside the couch

Dust, with ambitions
Some dust collects. This dust plots.

Crevice tool, deployed

No warning. No mercy. No fresh air.
The Original Music Festival
Welcome to Nutshella
It started as a little music festival in the middle of nowhere. Nuts of all kinds showed up, along with an assortment of oddballs, outcasts, and lovable misfits.
They came for the music. But something funny happened.
Nobody wanted to leave.
So they stayed. A few homes appeared. Then shops. Then neighborhoods. Before anyone quite knew what was happening, Nutshella had become a whole community.
Today, it's a wonderfully strange place where being different isn't unusual. It's practically normal.
And the music? Well, that never stopped.
But will the whole gang find their way to Nutshella?
