Mixed Nuts

Sometimes you end up at the strangest pages on Wikipedia:
Modifying words like "fancy" or "choice" have not historically carried any legal meaning in the United States, and they remain absent from the current regulations.[1] In a 1915 federal case against "fancy mixed nuts" that were argued by competitors to be an inferior grade, U. S. v. 25 Bags of Nuts, N. J. No. 4329 (1915), the court declined to accept a trade standard.

A timeless classic? Because I'm pretty sure I remember you pointing out that page in particular as the epitome of wikiawesome at least three years ago.

And check out that history! About two edits per month in the last 40 months. The articles that hardly change are the best ones.
