Thorn Glognuts are a traditional Glaggleland food. they are made out of ground thorns mixed with water, and sometimes the eggs of domesticated Peeps. The resulting dough is then scooped up into spheres and then smushed, resulting in its iconic round shape, before it is put into an oven. They play an extremely important role in Glaggleland history and are emblematic of Glaggleland and its people.

## History

The history of the country's iconic dish goes back many centuries. Before the invention of the yoal-powered Choo-Choo, crossing long distances was done primarily by walking. This meant travelers needed something that kept well on long distances, and the call was answered with thorn-based breads. At some point, Gigglers began imprinting their pastries with smiley faces, as smiley faces are known to be **wonderful** and **joyous.** Because they were simple to produce, giggly entrepreneurs jumped at the opportunity to sell them along the roadside to travelers, for money. Some young businessmen would even put Yakult Jelly inside the donuts to increase profits. This was such a universally joy-bringing change that soon, almost every Glognut was filled with jelly, and Glognuts went from mildly sweet food for long journeys to a common meal for all Glaggles to enjoy. When Soap refining was discovered in 107 G., people began covering their Glognuts in lovely, sugary gooey goodness. It's at this point that the treat received very little changes; While the new coating of sugar goop made it more messy to eat while traveling, the invention of the goop coincided with the invention of the Choo-Choo, which made travel easier, and the *Great Giggle Upwards,* an explosion of technological advancement that would mark a large increase in quality of life for all Gigglers, and most importantly would change the role Glognuts served in Glaggleland. *The Great Giggle Upwards* would peak in 120 G., after the Glaggle Land was lifted into the air to protect from the Glaggleland massacre. Since Glognuts kept so well, most every citizen who moved to Glaggle Land for safety during the Enphoso-Glaggle conflict carried large amounts of the pastries into the park/city. Because they were something almost everyone could connect over having, they unified Glaggleland and helped give people the push they needed to keep going. To this day, the *Glaggle Land Park* holds the annual Veteran's'd Day celeberation, in which 1 Glognut is given to every adult Glaggle. Baby Glaggles are given smaller variant of the Glognut popularized in 110 G. referred to as a *Glogle-nut.*

## Trivia

* Glognuts can also be made out of ground Silly Spruce(a.k.a Tamarack) bark. Glognuts made with Silly Spurce have noticeable yellow and brown marbling, and are usually much more expensive than normal Glognuts.
* Glogle-nuts, smaller Glognuts with a hole through the middle were created by Jib Smeep in 110 G. because the many children Jib babyglagglesat would become un-joyful because they could never eat their whole Glognut, and didn't like the Yakult Jelly in the middle. He fixed this by buying small glognuts and poking out the middle, which he shared with their parents. Word quickly spread, and Gloober Co. began selling *Glogle-Nuts* within 3 days of Jib Smeep's discovery. He would end up getting over 2 silly-billy-gligillion dollars before his passing.
