Why is it that everyone I know eats crappy peanut butter?

Question

Haven't they ever heard of just plain old real peanuts? Why are people so into Skippy and other processed c**p? It's ridiculously sweet and tastes so disgusting and unnatural.

To each their own, sista.

Maybe you live in a redneck town! LOL.

Really, I have no idea. We don't buy pasturized, processed, glutanous peanut butter substitute either.

I eat peanuts and like them, but it is sort of hard to make a peanut and jelly sandwich :)

Freaking out about peanut butter OMG quality control hurry!

Answer 11

stop hanging out with those stupid crappy peanut butter eaters

Answer 12

I don't have a factual explanation about this, just an opinion.  And as a lover of peanut butter (it is one of my favorite foods), its a pretty strong opinion.  I grew up with my parents eating the natural stuff, but didn't even try it until my teens.  I think people are scared that anything "natural" will taste like cardboard, are weirded out by the oil separation, and too addicted to sugary foods to even give it a chance

Answer 13

Did you ever think maybe it's you that has lousy taste buds?

How can so many people be wrong?

Put your money where your mouth is and name your brand.

Mine is Jif.

Tongue stuck?

Answer 14

peanut butter is good

Answer 15

cheaper

Answer 16

You can buy all natural peanut butter that has no additives.  I don't think you should be so hard on everyone.  A little added sugar and vegetable oil isn't going to kill you.  Besides, have you ever tried spreading peanuts on your toast?

Answer 17

Because Peanut Butter IS crappy!

=D

Sorry If I offend anyone. I just really despise Peanut Butter.

Answer 18

everyone has different tastes, naturally

i hate peanuts, cheese, and butter

my friends love it

and i love peanut butter

i like sweet things

Answer 19

You are mad cause lots of people eat peanut butter?????

Answer 20

Guilty as charged...

I have access to natural peanut butter with no additives in it but I must confess when I do have it, I still long for that taste of my childhood and I can only get that from a jar of Skippy.

It's the same when I go to high end restaurants and they have gourmet burgers and the chef's special mango-chili-whatever ketchup...all I want is Heinz.
