I open it with my teeth,lol. But when I had braces I would get a spoon and crack it open! Get crackin’
I get my pistachio cracking by putting it in my belly button and cracking it open #YeaBuddy
Crack it with your cleavage!!! Short and simple!
I use a letter opener! It doesnt just come in handy for opening letters after all!
I pretend the pistachio is a wrestling opponent and drop an elbow on it… not only is it cracked the result are nice small edible pieces
I lye on my bed and throw the pistachio up into the air. The pistachio hits the ceiling fan and cracks it open, then the pistachio comes falling down into my mouth!
I give them to my husband to crack them open for me!
Pliers!
I used to use a mini hammer that my mom had! made it so much easier
With pliers… I knew i kept the ex husbands tools for something!
I put a handful pistachio of on some paper, put a cutting board on top of them, then squash them. Opens them all in one swoop! Yummmmmm!
Intense interrogation! It’ll crack all on its own!
Call my 3little boys over and wait till one of them falls on it and ooopps, there is my open nut!!
No unique way just use my thumbs and if that dont work.. then my teeth..oops..they are soo good got to get them cracked some how
I like to pop and crack open the pistachios and make them fly into the bowl. First, you grab the closed end with your thumb and forefinger. Then you push down so the other end opens- like pacman. Then push down really hard and the shell pops and cracks and out comes the pistachio lol!
i crack it open in my mouth because is all just taste so good…although i do not eat the shells =)
fingers, teeth, knife, chisel and hammer, just a hammer. I move up the list if the last one didnt work
For the tough ones…a prybar.
Use my teeth and bite down hard.
dunk one in my mouth and crack open with my teeth then take it out to split the shell and get my 2 points lol
Saw you at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame – it would be wonderful to give my son a basketball with your signature! He loves basketball and pistachios!
I take a shelll of one to crak the other so I don’t hurt my fingers.
I open mine with a hammer and bamm all opened up. Get Crackin…..
I use my teeth, and sometimes I just pry them apart with my nails. I love it when they already have un-shelled themselves.
I open them with my cigarette lighter.Makes a good opener.
I usually crack them in my teeth like I so with sunflower seeds.
I like to use my Nut Cracker to crack that crazy green Nut!
When I was a little girl, my grandpa always had a nutcracker and a bowl of asst. nuts next to his chair. He would crack them and i would catch them. When He passed away,I “borrowed” that nutcracker and it now sits next to my chair. That’s how I crack open a wonderful pistachio!
I crack my pistachios by letting my toddler twins fight over them and catch the flying nut.
What’s your most creative way to crack open a pistachio? Making sure I keep my thumb nails long because it’s a great Pistachio opener
Works like a charm 
Thanks for the chance woot!
Honey Badger eats em whole! He dont give a CARE!!!
