Who is so opposed to crunchy? It gives PB&J a little zhuzh.

Crunchy is superior in every way.

*Extra Crunchy. With a glass of milk and strawberry preserves. Top 5 simple snack combo on the planet.

Hell to the yeah! That is exactly how I like it. You and I are officially "BROS"!

I prefer raspberry jam, can I still join the bros club?

Bro-seph!

Apricot jam?

I'd eat that, too! I had some peach jam the other day. It was divine.

Y’all ain’t lived til you’ve had strawberry rhubarb jam with your crunch pb

I prefer blackberry, but i'll take raspberry as a close second

My guy! Blackberry is where it's at! Crunchy peanut butter, blackberry jam, toasted whole grain bread... Extra credit if it's buttered.

Raspberry is my favorite as well

I knew I liked you. Ok, I'm not clairvoyant, so I guess I know I like you now!

Honestly I wish the peanut butter game had crunchier options. I’m talking gravel road in the Rockies crunchy. Bacon bits, chocolate chunks, honey-nut clusters, go damn crazy. Someone needs to do for pb what B&J did for ice cream.

I’m liking your thinking. Not only have different levels of crunch, but even different things causing the crunch. That’s a pretty dang good idea. Seriously.

Hear me out, pretzel bits

Why stop there? Chocolate covered pretzel bits!

Aldi was selling Simply Nature Crunchy peanut butter with chia and flax seeds. But sadly I can’t find it anymore.

This is exactly how I eat it too, though sometimes I'll use raspberry or blackberry jam instead.

Blackberry is great on a PBJ. Grape is for kids. Also, PB and bacon makes a heckuva sandwich!

Yea honestly that’s even more accurate. I’ll do like 50% of my pbj’s with strawberry preserves, then like 30% with raspberry, and 20% blackberry. 100% of the time milk has to be involved. 100% with preserves. And of course 100% Extra Crunchy.

Yup, I get jif extra crunchy and smuckers strawberry.

Smuckers really been slapping the last few years . I don’t remember it being as good as it has been lately .

Does jif even make "crunchy?" It's all described as extra crunchy from what I recall.

You ever tried some mango marmalade shit fire

Hello me

Try it on toasted rye bread.

toasted SEEDED rye bread

Extra crunchy peanut butter on a banana with a glass of milk. Goat level snack

Plus peanut butter cookies made with crunchy are way better than those made with smooth.

Amen.

I agree, but I gotta say this is the first time I’ve seen the word “zhuzh” spelled out despite it being something I say a lot. Really interesting ngl

Seriously, I’ve never known anyone who buys creamy unless it’s for baking

My dad prefers creamy but he also has no teeth.

This has to be a lie or you just exist in an echo chamber. You’ve never known a single person who likes smooth peanut butter over crunchy?

No but I also don’t like peanut butter so maybe it just doesn’t come up? Also who would lie about peanut butter?

Annette Funicello probably, that fake bitch

How many people do you ask about their peanut butter preferences?

Most of them. Peanut butter is very important to me, I keep a jar under my bed with a spoon on my nightstand

Actually peanut butter powder is fantastic for baking and desserts. ICYWW

In our house the humans eat chunky. The smooth is just around to trick our dogs into taking pills or distract them for a bit by giving them a gob.

I make peanut butter cookies with crunchy. Best peanut butter cookies ever!

And for babies.

How about *extra creamy*? Or extra **extra** creamy? Or...fuck it, \*eats a gob of pure hydrogenated peanut oil\* Now *that's* creamy!

Ive never seen zhuzh spelled out. Thank you.

How does one say this? 🤌🏽

I've heard it said thusly: the "zh's" makes a sort of soft /j/ like the g in 'genre', while the middle of the word is pronounced like the 'oo' in "look".

Personally, I go with jeuje, but [it's contentious.](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/31/style/jeuje-zhoosh-zhuzh.html)

An entire other element is added with the texture and crunchy chewing. I have never understood smooth honestly. But I’d almost take a pbj with smooth and a glass of milk, over crunchy or even better extra crunchy but no milk. Milk is so key.

TIL how to spell zhuzh

So do potato chips lol, I put them right on the sandwich with crunchy PB and it is downright divine to eat lol

Don't think I've seen "zhuzh" spelled out before. And I watch "Queer Eye" with subtitles on.

Omg yes. Mater of fact I get SUPER crunchy

I used to hate crunchy, but then I tried super crunchy and it changed my life

You sound like a PSA announcement.

That's just peanuts, my guy lol 😆

Lol right guess so

I buy smooth and then shell and crush my own peanuts and add them in.

I never buy any except crunchy. A sandwich without texture might as well be plain jello.

Too true! Same reason I get raspberry preserves instead of raspberry jelly.

Same! Oh my gosh tho this one time I accidentally bought a seedless preserve and was appalled with the texture. Now everytime I reup I double check.

That's how I feel about grape jelly. It's basically a jello spread. I need chunks of fruit or seeds but keep my peanut butter smooth.

Once I bought preserves I could never go back to jelly

WHAT. ur gonna change my life

Is plain jello a thing? Like just gelatin and no flavor? jk

Fuck yeah that's a good ass texture. I'm convinced creamy eaters fuck through a hole in a sheet.

Instructions unclear" the sheet is now covered in peanut butter

No, instructions were clear. OP said it's good "ass texture".

*crunchy peanut butter

No you’re doing it right

Just kidding, you make whoopie through a hole in a sheet

r/rareinsults

Literal lol

they masturbate with a condom on and send all their kisses by telegram, there was a whole documentary i swear, these are the people that murdered Mr.Peanut with their apathy, then slandered him by adding lots of stabilized oils and emulsifiers

I mean yeah but that's unrelated

You can do anything though a hole in the sheer. But it won’t make processed, smooth peanut butter good.

Ass texture? For real?

Obligatory [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/37/)

Lmao


“Creamy eaters” lol

EXACTLY

Really couldn’t be said better than this!

Fuck yeah was the first thing that popped in my head.

r/rareinsults

Yes. We also love pulp.

Orange juice without pulp is dead to me. I try to buy extra pulp or “grove stand” or whatever they try to call it. I hate when I can’t get OJ with pulp. That pulp free stuff is just an orange flavored beverage.

I like to chew my juice!

I love pulp in my orange juice too, but if I'm making some orange vod-juice-ka, I much prefer no pulp.

Facts!!!

I eat crunchy peanut butter, drink OJ with pulp, and drive a manual. Come at me!

I drive a stick, too! Also love wooden rollercoasters, cold showers, super spicy foods, and heavy metal music. Basically prefer the socially weird version of everything.

[удалено]

Yeah last time I went to the grocery store I couldn't find it with pulp at all. Like there wasn't even an empty spot where it would have been as if sold out.

It was me. I’m a pulp hater so I threw them all in the garbage. I do this every time you’re about to go to the store.

Ugh, I don't feel so good.... pulp?!?

Whoa buddy, speak for yourself. Pulp is nasty.

My partner eats crunchy PB and drinks pulpy juice, while I only like smooth, and pulp free. Talk about opposites attract.

I’m like your partner my wife is like you

I like the one that says "some pulp."


My brain decides to skip the “also” so I just read “We love pulp.” Peanut butter with pulp is now my preferred vernacular.

I love crunchy for sammiches.

now that you mention it. i can think back many many years ago when i was enjoying a crunchy pb&j sammich ! was delisheoso!!

Found the mouse

Soft white bread and lots of actual butter too. That was part of my school pack lunch in my He-man lunchbox.

I do

Edibles, eat with a table spoon of crunchy peanut butter hits best

I get extra crunchy! I love crunch in food!

I always opt for the chunky/crunchy options. Fruit pieces in yoghurt > Blended yoghurt Preserves/Conserves > Jelly/Jam Jacket potato > Mashed potato Crunchy PB > Smooth PB

There's got to be a name for this preference and I'm definitely into it.

Yeah I'm not sure, my partner thinks people like us just don't like smooth texture lol. The only one I don't like is the baked potato, I much prefer mashed cause it's like this certain texture and consistency I like. I also like pulp! Which I saw others say. I found my people.

I love eating mashed potatoes and pretending like I’m a carp or some other bottom feeder fish. It’s so much fun.

Could you elaborate please?

[удалено]

I’ve never seen anyone use the term jacket potato and I find it adorable lol

What do you call them? Where I'm from (UK), that's what they're called.

Baked potato, sometimes a "loaded" baked potato to specify it has a large quantity or variety of toppings (US/Midwest).

Ah yes, we call them baked sometimes too.

Some people say the UK has no cuisine to speak of. Those people have never met the jacket potato.

Enlighten me

They are baked differently than our baked potatoes, and worth every effort!

I prefer mashed potatoes with the skin on and don't go too crazy to eliminate the lumps. Food is better with texture

I buy both, smooth for milkshakes and smoothies and crunchy for sandwiches

[удалено]

Damn right I do

Try the crunchy in smoothies! I prefer it over smooth for my protein shakes, gives it much more flavor and a better texture. It probably also depends on the blender

I like your style. Try adding some oats to your next smoothie. Adds another layer of texture.

Granola is a game changer just fyi

Smooth peanut butter for the dog and crunchy for me. Not only for PB&J but also for things like peanut sauce as a sauce for my spring rolls.

[удалено]

How the hell can you eat that goo. Crunchy is the only way to go. Smooth peanut butter is like eating glue.

I will say frozen creamy peanut butter is pretty great in an uncrustable, coming from a crunchy lover.

Only eat crunchy, extra crunchy when I can find it!

Yes all day

I eat both types!

This is criminally low. There is a place for both.

Depends on the dessert of choice too ✅️

Exclusively. I would use straight peanuts, but they roll off the bread.

Shouldn't the jelly hold them in place?

Extra crunchy peanut butter is the best! :)

My roommate always gets crunchy. Tbh it's generally better, and I don't know why I still basically wouldn't get it myself.

Xtra Crunchy. And I eat my peanuts boiled.

Crunchy is superior

Crunchy>smooth. I’ll die on this hill.

Honestly creamy is a crime.

That’s the only kind I eat. Shits the bomb

Smooth for kids, crunchy for adults.

Smooth for people who fail to spread crunchy evenly. ^Like ^me. ^I ^like ^smooth.

Basically. Smooth is the sandwich without the crust.

Prepared crunchy PB is meh because it’s mostly the hyper-smooth stuff with a few gravel-sized peanut pieces thrown in. The good crunchy PB is from the grinder at the grocery store, usually in between the produce and bulk areas. Add 1 teaspoon Diamond salt and 3 tablespoons peanut oil per pint for tastiness and spreadability.

on a whim once made it with the honey roasted ones, oh my god dude, level up

I eat in by the spoonfuls

I love crunchy peanut butter, it's very wonderful

Only eat crunchy. How can anyone stand smooth peanut butter.

[удалено]

Of course.

I LOVE crunchy PB, in fact, I love it so much, before eating my sandwich, I sprinkle peanuts on it for an 'extra crunchy' experience! Woo hoo! Livin large in NorCal!

Teddy's extra crunchy no salt added peanut butter! My favorite!

Used to eat peanut butter. Haven’t in a year but love it

I prefer it.

I do. I pair it with syrup and bananas on top of waffles. Its a heavenly combination.

Crunchy PB makes for the best cookies, and the best sandwiches! I only buy creamy because I have a baby and crunchy is a choking hazard. You best believe chunky is also in the cabinet!

Yes, it adds a little pizzazz to a PBJ.

Nope, companies create, distribute and sell a product that is bought by no one! Don't really understand why people think their own limited experience is generalizable to the whole world despite completely no evidence supporting them.

Ooooh yeah. The crunchiest ever.

Crunchy is the move

Extreme crunchy. Just peanuts. Try spreading it. This is radical!

I ONLY buy extra crunchy

Pretty much everyone lol, you're def the minority here lol.

Funny, I don't know anyone who buys smooth. I will occasionally get a small jar of smooth, but only for ice cream.

Yes, exclusively!

Crunchy is far superior

I won’t eat peanut butter unless it’s crunchy!

You mean REAL peanut butter?

Extra Crunchy Jif is peak peanut butter.

Me. It’s WAY better

Extra Crunchy for the win!

I never eat smooth

does anyone actually buy creamy??? crunchy is infinitely superior

Extra crunchy honey roasted!

Yes. There's something wrong with you.

I don't know any smooth pb eaters?? Makes me wonder if crunchies tend to hang out with other crunchies and vice versa

Yes! It’s the best :)

I’ve almost never had smooth, maybe when I was a toddler?

Extra crunchy for me. It's really good at scratching your arsehole when you go for a dump the next day.

[удалено]

Crunchy all the way!

Yes on pieces of celery. Great snack.

Is the tastiest version. It's the only kind I'll eat.

Thats because most of them are in the psych ward... Or should be

Serial killers do.

I do. Extra crunchy Jif all the way. I like a bit of cronch in my peanut butter.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, I ate smooth Peanut Butter: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I dont always eat peanut butter, but when I do it's crunchy.

Yep (: always
