Shit, I bought natural peanut butter by mistake

[Willie Boy]

My guess of why it is wildly popular here is because it was an American invention.

From About.com.....
In 1890, an enterprising physician, Dr. John Kellogg (of corn flakes fame), created peanut butter as a healthy protein substitute that was easy to digest for patients with no teeth. The manufacturing process was mechanized by George A. Bayle, Jr., and a patent for a peanut-butter machine was issued to Abrose W. Straub in 1903.

In 1904, peanut butter came into the limelight at the St. Louis Universal Exposition by concessionaire C. H. Sumner, where it was promoted as a health food.

When innovative agricultural scientist Dr. George Washington Carver developed an improved version of the butter, it attracted even more enthusiasts.

In 1922, peanut butter was commercially-born when J. L. Rosefield of Rosefield Packing Company of Alameda, California perfected a process to keep the oil from separating in the peanut butter along with spoilage prevention methods. He marketed this commercial peanut butter under the name Skippy ® as "churned" peanut butter, which was a smoother, creamier version of the coarse-textured original.

Skippy..... The best peanut butter ever.

It should have a huge warning that the top half inch of the jar is oil.

It should also have a warning that tells people it's fucking disgusting...

Skippy..... The best peanut butter ever.

Store the jar upside down! That way the oil will always be on the bottom.

That might be a good idea. I will try that.

Why did I never think of that?

Fuck I'm stupid. I just realized after turning it upside down for an hour that all the oil will go to the lid and be back on top.

I didn't realize that brand has a natural peanut butter.

Peter Pan has removed High Fruitcose Corn Syrup from all it's peanut butter. There's a regular and natural version. The natural version doesn't have hydrogenated oils, trans fat or preservatives. Peter Pan claims it's new natural doesn't need to be stirred. The one jar I bought lived up to that promise .

The problem for me was: it's 10 calories more per serving than the regular. It's not as smooth and I thought didn't taste as good. I've only tried the Honey Roast creamy versions.
