Huh. I prefer Skippy over Jif.

Of course, I buy generic. I'm betting that makes me an ultra-conservative.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'm an extra-chunky peanut butter person.  We even buy Jif now and again if it's on sale, but usually we buy the store brand.

I don't really care about brand as long as it doesn't blow chunks. If I want nuts, I'll buy a bag of peanuts at the circus.

Couldn't read the WP article, but the other one seems to allude to the usual trope about toothless redneck conservatives don't read, but liberals do.

Peany Bucker (I'm still saying it that way since it used to PO my mother) of any style and any brand troweled into the trough of a celery stick is a great combination.

I buy freshly squeezed peanut butter from a local store.  Ingredients: peanuts.  That's all I need.

And I like Trader Joe's dijon mustard best.

It's pronounced gif.

Which in turn is pronounced jif   =D

Quote
Pronunciation of GIF

The creators of the format pronounced the word as "jif" with a soft "G" /dʒɪf/ as in "gym". Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.[11] The word is now also widely pronounced with a hard "G" /ɡɪf/ as in "gift".[12] In 2017, an informal poll on programming website Stack Overflow showed some numerical preference for hard-"G" pronunciation,[13] especially among respondents in eastern Europe, though both soft-"G" and enunciating each letter individually were found to be popular in Asia and emerging countries.[14]

Jif or cheap and smooth, please. Being toothless means chunky bits hurt!

I guess I shouldn't tell this one to my very liberal mother...

Jif Chucky is the ONLY brand of peanut butter that is ALLOWED in her house...

My conservative Dad didn't give two shits one way or another about brand and had the gourmet standards of the average swine.

Brand, chunkiness, refrigerated or not, politics one way or the other, flavor,  I don't see anything justatory that gustifies this thread.

I make my own sugar-free PB using half unsalted dry roasted peanuts and half Spanish peanuts (Virginia peanuts will do.)  I really don't like sweet peanut butter, unless it's *really* sweet as in a Butterfingers or a Reece's PB cup.  (but Reece's Pieces are too sweet again)

That's for eating on crackers.  For cooking with I either buy Aldi's house brand, or use Wife's jar of Jif.  The sugar doesn't matter if I'm making peanut butter cookies.

Oh my goodness! Lemme see ...

  • I don't eat (or buy) at Arby's
  • I don't use Jif (store brand for the win)
  • I don't eat (or buy) at Applebee's
  • I've never owned a Chevrolet
  • I don't use Tyson's anything
  • I don't buy at Sonic
  • I think I may own one Wrangler shirt (hangs head in shame)
  • I don't eat or buy Little Debbie anything
  • I don't wear or own any Dockers
  • I never buy or use Cool Whip

So I guess I must be a liberal. My parents never told me -- all these years I've been thinking I was a conservative.

On the subject of nut butters and Trader Joe's, their almond butter is excellent. The Kirkland Signature mixed nut and seed butter at Costco is meh in comparison.
