The great decision that has held many in supermarket aisles, “Crunchy or Creamy?”. This can be answered with two words “CRUNCHY ROCKS!!!” Creamy peanut butter sucks worse than dog shit on a stick. ---

[Moderator Hat ON] Despite the Pit-like language, I think this is better suited to the IMHO forum. clay\_e, Great Debates is generally intended for a little more “weighty” topics than “evil nuns” or peanut butter. [Moderator Hat OFF] ---

Definitely creamy. Everything is better creamy. 🙂 ---

Crunchy! It’s just like pulp in orange juice. People who insist on creamy PB or no pulp OJ are pansies who can’t handle real food. They might as well be sucking on bottles. RRRooaaarrr! Hey, these rhinocerous hormones are really working. ---

Crunchy tastes better, but I usually eat creamy, cause it spreads better. Keith ---

Another vote for crunchy. But, since that semester in college when I literally **lived** on JIF Crunchy PB, I can’t eat the stuff anymore. ☹ ---

(Yay! another chance to mention this!)I preferred crunchy until I saw…the five gallon drum of chunky peanut butter in the middle of the restroom of a bakery I visited today. ---

Both, provided it is fresh or natural. I get fresh at the health-food store: a little extra grinding gets you creamy. At the grocery store I buy crunchy or creamy natural that has the oil seperated. Mrs. M will not eat creamy, so if I am to keep any peanut butter around for me to enjoy it must be creamy. Usually I buy both. I avoid the Jifs and Peter Pans etc like the plague because of additives, bizarre production practices (think “The Jungle” with field legumes), and general lousy taste. ---

Another pansy checking in. Actually, I can handle the pulp in the OJ, but as far as crunchy PB goes, I hate picking the nut pieces out of my teeth. ::waiting for clay\_e to tell us what dogshit on a stick tastes like:: ---

It doesn’t get any better than Crunchy! Crunchy Frog that is! 🙂 Oh, Peanut Butter! I like it creamy but if I could spread it on “Crunchy” that would be a different story! 😉 ---

I’ve got it from a true authority on the subject: My three-year-old. “nutty pea-butter is tasty…” “(S)mooth pea-butter is poopy…” There you have it, folks! I guess clay\_e knows the facts… ---

Try new Poopy Peanut Butter! It’s in your grocer’s dairy case because it’s fresh from. . . Nevermind. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miss B. Haven \* > \*\*It doesn’t get any better than Crunchy! Crunchy Frog that is! 🙂 > \*\* Oh come on, **Creamy Toad** is far preferable to **Crunchy Frog**. Why, instead of sending photographs to the People Pages in which he’s not wearing pants, **Creamy Toad** puts on _two_ pairs of pants, but then leaves his fly open for ventilation. Instead of a two-legged dog, **Creamy Toad** has a cat with supernumerary legs (named Sixlet)! Instead of a Welcome Wagon for Newbies, **Creamy Toad** proactively tells seasoned Dopers when they have worn out their welcome. Altogether **Creamy Toad** is a really class act.
