Well, I knew that making a courageous moral stand would bring out the baying and yelping of those committed to the Dark Side (or, at least, the Light Brown Side).
Jeannie, your husband sounds like a fine, upstanding, and above all sane man. Hold on to him, and perhaps hsi influence can yet save you.
Gazoo, I have to admit I can’t quite recall how circus peanuts taste… so I’m not sure.
Rose, with all due respect, you seem like a wonderful person… but in my view, if one adds chocolate, cinnamon, and allspice to raw sewage, one does not thereby improve the product. So it is with your description of Koogle.
MrKnowItAll, I will pray for your immortal soul, since it is clearly in danger.
Doug Bowe, I am not, so far as I’m aware, actually related to the Mars family, but their philosophy of peanut butter exclusion has my unending admiration.
And finally kawliga. Do you know how many times people have tried to get me to like peanut butter by bringing out some evil paste that purported to be “fresh roasted peanut taste,” “natural peanut taste,” or some similar malarkey? I have gamely tried these things, and always leave disgusted.
That said, I admit that I don’t specifically recall trying Jif’s version. I may have, of course, and then subsequently blocked it from my mind, in the manner of a hideous auto accident or the Clinton presidency. But - I’m a fair person. If you are sure that this brand can do what years of effort have failed to do… tell you what. I’ll go buy a small jar today. I am nothing if not fairminded.
