An image purportedly showing an in-store advertisement for Wonderful Pistachios and the animated movie The Grinch raised some eyebrows as it circulated on social media in November 2018 due to an unusually crass slogan: Green and salty. Just like my nuts: This is not a genuine advertisement. The Grinch and Wonderful Pistachios did run a series of cross-promotional advertisements that utilized the character's mean-spirited humor, but this image was digitally manipulated. One indication that this image is fake is the watermark for Instagram user @Jaunty_Jenkhead, a self-described meme hoarder, visible on the top left of the display. A scroll through Jaunty_Jenkhead's Instagram feeds reveals a number of other memes and manipulated images. We also managed to find the original, undoctored image via a reverse image search. On 9 November 2018, two days before the Green and Salty. Just like my nuts image started to make its way around social media, Imgur user twistable69 posted a photograph of this advertisement which featured a much more palatable slogan: Green and salty. Just like me. Here's a comparison of the doctored image (left) and the genuine photograph (right): A photograph showing another in-store advertisement for The Grinch and Wonderful Pistachios from the web site The Packer confirms that the genuine slogan for this advertisement is Green and salty. Just like me.
