I think it's a reference to cyanide smelling like almonds. In particular I remember a Jodi Foster movie The little Girl who lives down the Lane where Jodi poisons a rapist. He says, "It tastes like almonds." as he drinks the tea. Jodi Foster says, "It's the almond extract." knowing it's the cyanide.
So the punchline is setup to be something about poison but gets subverted by the hand grenade.
Theeeere u gooo. And now i look stupid :D Thank you for enlightening us!
Found the clip for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bds6OYX85gA
Tiny detail, its "the almond cookies"
And Downfall has a scene for the second half of the joke. (Warning, while it's not graphic you may not want the scene in your head)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Hoo boy that was fucked up.
AL-mond cookies.
Oh I got the cyanide reference. Still sucks as a two-sentence horror. Would better suit the plethora of antijoke subs.
It reminds me of all the dumbass TSH posts that only exist to explain Reddit fun facts, like rabies causing hydrophobia.
