A jab at Mark Zuckerberg? Winklevoss twins do a pistachio commercial

(CBS) - You might be wondering what Facebook has to do with the beloved pistachio nut... You might also be wondering what Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who sued and settled with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg who they claim stole their social network idea, have to do with pistachios...

Regardless of rhyme or reason, just watch the clip above. In an effort to help sell pistachios - and perhaps give another dig to Zuckerberg - the two campaign for the lowest-calorie nut in a recent Get Crackin' commercial.

"[They're] by no means done going after their former Harvard classmate, Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg," ZDNet points out. "Although the two, dressed in matching suits and ties in front of name boards which both read "Mr. Winklevoss," don't mention Zuckerberg by name, the jab is obviously at him."

Or, they might really think they discovered the best way to crack a nut shell? Okay, probably not.

Other Get Crackin' videos have starred Snooki, Crystal the Monkey, Khloe & Lamar and (our favorite of them all) Keyboard Cat.
