Keep reading!<\/p>\n<p>Most of us have heard of a nutcracker\u2014not the ballet with the Sugar Plum Fairy, but the metal tool used to crack open nuts.<\/p>\n<p>A nutcracker looks like pliers and usually has two metal arms with a hinge at the top. The arms are often serrated to grip the nut better. You place the nut in the jaws of the nutcracker, squeeze the arms together, and the shell cracks open, revealing the nut inside.<\/p>\n<p>Nutcrackers come in all sorts of designs and sizes, from simple handheld ones to fancy, decorative pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Some are made for specific types of nuts, while others can handle a variety of nuts and even shellfish like lobster or crab.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the nut out of its hard shell isn\u2019t always easy. After cracking the shell, you still have to deal with the meat sticking to the tough walls inside.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where a nut pick comes in, which is the tool that\u2019s confusing people online.<\/p>\n<p>A nut pick is a small, pointed tool used after you crack the shell. It helps you dig out the nut meat from the shell without breaking it. The pointed end can slip into the cracks of the shell to pull out the nut inside.<\/p>\n<p>Nut picks come in different styles and materials, like metal, wood, or plastic. Some even have fancy handles or are designed to be comfortable to use.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re useful for enjoying all kinds of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds, where you need to get the edible part out of the shell.<\/p>\n<p>People online have been sharing their experiences with these versatile tools.<\/p>\n<p>One person remembered the hard work of cracking nuts in the past, saying, \u201cWe used them for walnuts. Back then, you didn\u2019t buy pre-cracked walnuts for baking; you had to crack them open yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another user shared, \u201cWe used them for walnuts, pecans, and more. They came with the nutcracker and were also great for getting lobster out of those tiny legs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Someone else mentioned, \u201cThey\u2019re crab and lobster meat picks. I\u2019m lucky to still have my family\u2019s set. Growing up near Maine, we had lots of chances to use them!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another person added that she\u2019s found multiple uses for the pick, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve used them for their intended purpose, but as an artist, I\u2019ve also found other ways to use them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others had different ideas. One user said, \u201cThey\u2019re called olive picks, but you can use them for other things, so your hands don\u2019t touch the food.\u201d Another joked, \u201cMostly used to pick your teeth after a big dinner\u2026 also handy for finding cavities!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What are your favorite memories of using nutcrackers and picks?<\/p>\n<p>Share your thoughts in the comments and spread the word so we can hear from others too!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1723211073940\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized allow-copy_cover__on-elem\" style=\"top: 154px; left: 10px; width: 740px; height: 422.031px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"151\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever explored your grandparents\u2019 house, you\u2019ve probably found some strange items that left you puzzled.
