English term or phrase: "Go nuts"
This is the title of a section in the FAQ. As you might have guessed, the basic ingredient of the product is nuts. I'm looking for some way of preserving the word play in Spanish. TIA.

"go nuts"
"Que no se te vaya la castaña" | "Pírrate/Vuélvete loco por los frutos secos"


Explanation:
La primera opción mantiene el juego de palabras casi perfectamente, pero tiene el inconveniente de funcionar sólo si el producto es a base de castañas. Te dejo la segunda opción para todos los otros casos.

volverse loco, me vuelvo loco


Explanation:
In American English the expression to "go nuts" means get crazy for something, the equivalent phrase in Spanish would be "volverse loco"!

En español, la nuez es el fruto del nogal y, por tanto, NO es la traducción de 'nuts'
