Yes, when two guys pay their check at the restaurant, Moe offers them some
peanuts, mints, or pepperinos at the check out. One guy is familiar with
them, the other guy has smoke come out of his mouth and then does a water
drinking gag. As the stooges leave to go see the horse they just bought,
Curly (who had been eating peanuts out of the dish all day) fills his
pockets with the pepperinos mistakenly. Don't know what they are, but I
guess they are a real snack. Remember the films were made in L.A. where
there has always been a big Hispanic influence.

[I wonder if they worked the
peppers into some gag at that point in order to introduce them to the
audience. With the horse, they made the breath visible to show that it was
hot. If they did that with a restaurant customer, with the stooges looking
on, I would love to have that still photo. Does anyone know of there is
such a scene?]
