Monosodium Glutamate (The Messenger of Flavor)

When I like a product and can't seem to stop eating it, I always or most of the times look at the ingredients. At work, one Co-Worker has been bringing in Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. We all hover around the bucket, taking handfuls through out the day. I particularly like the Dry Roasted coating so much, that I found myself looking for the nuts with as much on them as I could find.

Later this afternoon, a light came on in my head..... BLING........I wonder if there is any MSG in this product.....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BINGO..............................The 5th Ingredient is MSG. No wonder I can't stop, and no wonder why the whole crew can't stop. After today, I will stop with Mr Planters due to the MSG.

I guess it comes down to the eatability of the product you like. Either you like it just for liking it, or the company adds a Messenger of Flavor to it, in order to make you like it that much more.
