The Kolanut does not have to brag for it is already clothed in royalty. The Kolanut is not proud, although to the ordinary eye, it is the epitome of simplicity. Say’s the Kolanut; ‘I am the prince of nuts, I am diverse and resourceful, yet very simple both in origin and in mobility’. ‘I come to you from the simple temperate climates of West Africa! ‘
I am an African who needs blow no trumpet, after-all a legitimate son never needs to argue about origin!
And as you assess the little rotund figure, trying to figure out it’s size and the source of such confidence, it tells you outright; ‘I am only about 3 inches in length and about 2 inches in width, but I have been around for a very, very long time and I have been known in virtually every corner of the world for almost 200 yrs.
Like a dice it rolls back and forth and says ‘it is all about value my good friend, the thrill you get from a taste of me, will not leave you deflated with a headache, no! You will crave the rush you got the first, and the second and the third, over and over again. And afterwards you will never become addicted. I was at the kings table yesterday, and the day before I consorted with the most elegant men and women in the land’.
‘I am the king of nuts, because I am mature, and although a taste of me will give you a rush and a thrill, I am sober, totally grounded’. ‘I am a natural supplier of caffeine and yet I am not a drug, I can relieve your cough and cold and yet I am not a medicine’. ‘You my friend have not discovered all of the things I can do for you’, ‘yes indeed I am royalty, I am simple, but I am the king of nuts’. ‘I am for the rich and I am for the poor, the simpleton, the delicate and the pickiest gourmet palate, you will be wise not to do without me, me a proud and formidable product of the earth!
