I like the Peter Pan Honey Roasted Creamy peanut butter. It tastes like the kind we had in elementary school.

I grew up on Jif, and will never change. You mean there are other peanut butters???In the last 3 weeks, I've eaten about 8 pb&j sandwiches. I wonder why I all of a sudden got a craving for them??

It's hilarious that this thread was started - I was curious if anyone else has been craving peanut butter recently because I know I have! I'm not usually a peanut butter fan but I always have some in my cupboard but in the last few weeks I even bought more to satisfy my new cravings. I know it's all from hearing PB&J, PB&J, over and over again from the live feeds. I was wondering - do any of the major peanut butter company's partially sponser BB? If they don't, they should - it would be a great marketing tool for them. Also, next year before BB5 starts, I should buy stocks in Jif or Skippy or Peter Pan!

Jif extra crunchy. And yes, this show has made me crave peanut butter more that I normally do! I love it on grainy wheat bread with honey. :)

It's all about Skippy creamy.

I like that Goober stuff with the jelly stripes in it. My parents would never buy it for me as a child, so now it's a guilty hidden pleasure.

Otherwise, Jif creamy all the way.

Reese's Peanut Butter is the best peanut butter. Instead of jelly, honey or marshmallow or banana go best with peanut butter unless the sandwich is grilled. In fact, I am curious why they've never made grilled peanut butter and jelly. According to Arnie, they can fix it any way they like, including "condiments" like butter. Nothing beats grilled peanut butter and jelly for a nice hot lunch.

Choosy Moms choose Jif. Creamy all the way.
(Unless you have Skippy Doubly Declicious with Nestles Chocolate Morsels to go on a nice piece of hot toast)

I think all brands taste good, even some store brand/generic ones; I buy whichever brand is on special, usually $1.89/jar ($1.39 is extremely rare for Reese's, Jif, or Skippy). I buy the reduced-fat type for myself and keep creamy on hand for the rest of my family. Crunchy peanut butter is delicious, too, either on buttered toast or buttered bread. Delicious with a tall glass of ice-cold milk!!

Peter Pan, extra-crunchy. Yum. Extra-crunchy Jif is good too, though.:) I think I'm going to go have some...on a tortilla...with honey.

my mom told me that when she was about 6, she went to a friend's house to play. the mother made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like monte cristo sandwiches. she grilled them in a ton of butter and then coated them with powdered sugar. my mom said they were sickeningly sweet and made her want to gag. wanting to be a nice little girl, she told the mother, "oh, this is delicious!" and then found another whole sandwich put in front of her!

i don't know which brand i buy the kids. usually whatever looks good. i think what we have in the pantry now has blue and red on it. what brand would that be? skippy? i usually don't buy 'generic' because we had all generic foods as a kid because we had so many kids! we even had to drink powdered milk. we put 5 cans of water to mix o.j.
anyway, i think it's skippy, although i can picture an aqua color, too, so i guess i buy jif sometimes?
i have peanut butter once a year maybe. crunchy or extra crunchy on dark toast. i have eaten pb&j sandwiches perhaps 6 times in my life if i had no other choice. hate 'em. i would only be eating pb on toast or occasionally, jelly on toast. not together!
i do love peanut butter cookies and peanut butter cake, and peanut butter cups. just no pb& j, please.....
i don't like cold cereal or cartoons either...i guess i wasn't a normal little kid! i wanted eggs benedict for breakfast. when dd was little, i would take her to mickey d's and she would order a salad and a decaf--at age 3 or 4. what little kid didn't want a happy meal? lol

I grew up eating Squirrel peanut butter. There slogan was "squirrel, the one with the peanut on top." Now Squirrel has disappeared so I buy Skippy and suspiciously it has a picture of a squirrel on the label and when you open the lid you get a peanut on top.

Don't like Jif.....prefer crunchy to smooth, but I like both.

Skippy's my brand.

To Reese's lovers:

I never had Reese's but love Reese's pieces and peanut butter cups. Does it have the same favor?

I have had the Reese peanut butter, and it does not taste like the peanut butter cups. Its just peanut butter. Not bad but a little too thick for my taste.

pengoh if I am not mistaken, Kraft Peanut Butter is a Canadian product. I don't think it is available in the States (but I LOVE it). I gave it to an American child to try once but she didn't like it because she said it was to "peanuty" (now how can peanut butter be too peanuty?) MMMMM it is sooooo good.

I prefer Simply Jif. It's Jif with less sugar. I like PBJ, peanut butter and Fluff (marshmallow cream) and peanut butter and bananas.

Peter Pan - plain old original smooth - you just can't beat it! I crave peanuts or peanut butter all the time and I use it regularly as a good source of protein. Think I'll have some now :)

I love peanut butter with dark caro syrup. Mix it all together and put it into a container. My kids love to just spread it on bread and go

Creamy Peter Pan or Jiff. I like to pair it with blackberry preserves for my sandwich.

Yeah, why haven't they tried it grilled? So yummy!

Jif, on buttered rye toast, then put back in the toaster oven for just a wee bit, till the Jif gets liquified. Glorious!

Seems like there are a couple more brands available in the States than here in Canada. I usually buy Jif [can't find the chunky version though]. My all-time favourite is cashew butter, hands down. Yummm :)

My grandma used to sprinkle regular sugar on top of the peanut butter so it wouldn't stick to the roof of her mouth.
