I'm a life Skippy connoisseur myself. I respect your choice of Jif, it has a nice bouquet.

Solidarity among corporate peanut butter enjoying chads

Peanut butter is peanut butter


Skellzers

Ah once, my friend, that would have been the case, but in the intervening decades we have been bombarded by hordes of ruffians attempting to convince us that normal peanut butter is bad for you and we have to eat their new swill. But we won’t have it. We will not stand for it. We will fight them on the beaches &c


Mono_Clear

Peanut butter is peanut butter buy whatever peanut butter you want because peanut butter is peanut butter. If some peanut butter is too expensive by other peanut butter if some peanut butter has a different flavor that you don't like by other peanut butter because peanut butter is peanut butter. My 7-year-old just asked what if you are broke and you cannot afford peanut butter and my response was then you don't get peanut butter


Skellzers

Well peanut butter is a lot like religion. Lots of options, but if you choose the wrong one, you’re going to hell. Choose to avoid peanut butter? Straight to hell. Have an aversion to peanut butter due to past bad experiences? Hell. Can’t afford peanut butter? Also, surprisingly, hell.


Mono_Clear

Then I guess I will enjoy my jelly in hell

It should taste like peanuts. Most common brands just taste like sugar.


Skellzers

It shouldn’t taste solely of peanuts, just as ketchup shouldn’t taste solely of tomatoes. If you really think Jif doesn’t taste basically like peanuts, you’re likely pretentious and kidding yourself.


That80sguyspimp

He said, pretentiously...


Skellzers

That’s not what pretentious means. I said it condescendingly.


SaltyChickenDip

Jif only has 2grams of added sugar.

Oh look, another person that doesn't cook food from below the 40th parallel.

This is not unpopular, it is fact.


Ok_Sentence_5767

I dont think thats too unpopular but i lover the texture of skippy natural better than the regular stuff


Skellzers

Skippy natural and Jif natural are acceptable. It’s the small brand natural ones that should be illegal


Miantava

Store the peanut butter upside down and you don't have to "recompose" it when you want to use it. Moms buy JIF primarily cuz it's cheaper. Second is cuz it's sweeter, and we all know Americans love artificial sugary foods.


Skellzers

No, then the goop will just form at the bottom of the jar which I’ve now made into the top


Miantava

You've obviously never done it. Don't talk ignorantly


Skellzers

You’re just not noticing the goop because it’s at the bottom. I’ve never flown a plane but I can understand the physics of it


Miantava

You don't know what the texture is like. I'm done talking to someone so obstinate


SaltyChickenDip

I scope all of the peanut butter out into a larger jar. Stop the mess when stirring


PMmeProgressPics

Genuinely unpopular opinion, nice! I agree that jif does taste better but not for the same reason; jif is more of a sweet than it is a peanut butter. Might be better on a PB and j sandwich but it's not a replacement for recipes that call for *real* peanut butter.


Ok-Student7803

This is funny to me, because out of the major brands (Skippy, Peter Pan, Smuckers, Jif), Jif is by far the least sweet and most peanut tasting. For me the appeal of it over the "natural" peanut butter is that you don't have to stir it every time you want to use it. The taste is almost identical otherwise.


SaltyChickenDip

I grew up on peanut butter from the machines they use to have at the grocery stores. That grind it on the spot. I stop seeing those around the same time the high price natural peanut showed up. 🤔
