A recent deep dive into the contents of Costco's Kirkland Signature mixed nuts has revealed a nutty truth that has shoppers buzzing online. A curious Costco member took to the subreddit to meticulously sort and count the nuts in a single container, leading to surprising revelations about the mix's composition.

The experiment showcased a dominant presence of cashews, which filled two compartments of the sorting dish to the brim. Following the cashews were almonds, which included both standard and Marcona varieties, though the regular almonds significantly outnumbered their Marcona counterparts. Pistachios and pecans, on the other hand, barely managed to fill half of their respective compartments.
Reactions from Costco Fans
The findings have sparked a lively discussion among Costco enthusiasts. Comments ranged from playful jabs at the Redditor's dedication—“You’re a lunatic for doing this”—to humorous observations about the abundance of cashews. Some users even defended the cashew overload, suggesting that having too many cashews isn’t a complaint worth making. However, many voiced concerns about the mix being overly almond-heavy, with suggestions for a letter-writing campaign advocating for a better nut balance.
