There’s a company in Japan called Arigatou that’s in the business of etching words and symbols into food products such as beans, nuts, rice and pasta. Staying true to there niche they’ve now perfected a way to laser-inscribe text and company logos on the outsides of peanut shells, despite the uneven surface.

The product they’ve created is called “Taberu Me” which comes from the Japanese word “eat”, and most likely an abbreviation for the Japanese word for “business card”. The machine that makes the engraving uses a CO2 laser and can efficiently print out these edible characters at a rate of 700 per second.

You can get yourself a set/jar of 150 Taberu Me business card peanuts with your company logo, name, phone number, etc. for around $50, which is not for peanuts but still not a bad price. Jimmy Carter would love this.
