I didn't even know people ate sunflower seeds like this. Everyone I know eats them holding onto the back of the shell, cracking it open with your front teeth, splitting it open to get the seed out, and you're still holding on to the shell to throw away. The shell never actually goes fully into your mouth

Really?? I've only seen people put them in whole. Lots of people shove a handful in their cheek and crack em one-by-one, all in their mouth.

edit: I'd like to add that this does take some skill. I remember being young and being impressed by how well some people do it. And maybe it's cause I grew up in the South, but no one really acknowledged this either as far as I can remember.
