Peanut Butter Possibilities

You know, I was thinking! This morining I decided to have a peanut butter and banana sandwich for breakfast. Good protein, some fruit, a few carbs and a lot of sugar! Now that's a breakfast of champions. Wash it all down with a nice strong cup of black coffee and I am ready for the day. But it hit me, peanut butter! I like peanut butter, but I only will buy and eat Jif. I am not that way about many things in life but I am that way about peanut butter. Now, I am not sure what kind of peanut butter are put in Nutter Butter cookies, but I like those. I don't know what kind of peanut butter is put into those little Austin cheeze n peanut butter crackers, but I like those. But if I get a jar of peanut butter to make a sandwich with it has to be Jif or I just won't eat it! Funny how I am about this topic. Not sure if there is some deep rooted psychosomatic reason for it but that's just how I am.
Here's where I bring this back now. I think some people are this way about churches. They think that there is only one brand that is palatable and that's all they'll bother with. It really doesn't matter what is inside as long as the right label is on the outside. I am not suggesting that there are no guidelines for what God is looking for in a church, but it is not up to us to limit the power of the Gospel of Jesus into one exclusive package! Be blessed today.

Well, let me say this about that. I am deeply troubled by what I am reading. I find this blatant legalism when it comes to matters of preference distasteful. I believe some of our biblical references listed on other blogs today today may in fact have suffered from Arachibutyrophobia. (tie that one together and you get a prize!) I am very concerned regarding your choice of labels. In fact you should be more careful of those who are peanut butter afficianados. There are currently more than 30 public figures and celebrities who share a devotion to peanut butter as members of the Adult Peanut Butter Lovers' Fan Club. They include: President Bill Clinton, Julia Child, Larry King, Jack Nicholson, Tom Selleck, Kim Basinger, Barbara Walters, Olympian Bonnie Blair, Dan Rather, Madonna, Cher, William F. Buckley, Billy Joel, Julia Roberts, Bill Cosby and Michael J. Fox. Most all of these PB enthusiast appear to be bleeding heart liberals!!Consumers prefer creamy peanut butter to chunky by a 60% to 40% ratio. Children and women prefer creamy, while most men opt for chunky. Although peanut butter is considered to be a kids' food, adults actually eat more peanut butter than kids each year. Folks on the East coast prefer creamy peanut butter, while those on the West Coast prefer the chunky-style. When making a PB&J sandwich, 96% of people put the peanut butter on before the jelly.

"Arachibutyrophobia" (pronounced I-RA-KID-BU-TI-RO-PHO-BI-A) is
the fear of peanut butter getting stuck to the roof of your mouth.

You can tell alot about a person from the type of peanut butter they prefer. Well it is indeed time for a PB&J with a nice bannana on toasted wheat bread. (Oh and it is Jif Creamy)...

If I am a peanut butter legalist then so be it! I know what I like and I like what I know. I like Jif creamy with either a banana or Smucker's strawberry preserves on white bread. BBT

We get store brand, generic, whatever is on sale. Just don't get me singing:
Peanut, peanut butter...and jelly. Oh yeah, reality check.
My kids eat it by the jar full almost daily. I think I will buy stock in the stuff. Oh, I guess I already have we have about 10 - 15 jars of peanut butter on the shelf.
I know what you are trying to do you are trying to become a Jif commercial announcer.
Did you know that 10 out of every 10 Doug E. Pudge's prefer Jif.
Gota love ya

What's ONOM? Iv'e seen it in a couple of you post.

ODEPOM, I like your last response on The Patriot's blog. People sure do get riled up over things. I tried to smooth things over with everyone, but angry people just like to simmer I guess. Enjoy your Jif, and try to spell it correctly next time, I woulda thought you were someone else who shares your lineage. :)
I know Wild Wednesday is over, but I have to ask a question. Does the grace of Wild Wed. extend to Sunny Thursdays, or are you going to try to pudge me? If you are going to try to pudge me, I will, to quote Eric Idle, "Run Away, Run Away!"

First of all Kodiak, don't move your comments down. The response "Word" was to your 10 out of 10 DEP's.... Next ONOM=Oh nephew of mine.
Sammy, first of all look again I don't think that I spelled Jif any different than you did! Secondly, you have yet to have a transgression that is worthy of being pudged. BBT

you sneaky fixer of misspellings

 
At 3:47 PM, Blogger big j said...

see even the great dep misspells a word some times. But then he trys to make hisself look good and goes but to fix it at leased I leave mine alone. :->

 
At 3:52 PM, Blogger Doug E. Pudge said...

All I can say is that there is no proof that I had a mispelled word in today's post! Inocent until proven guilty and the prosecution has the burden of proof. BBT

perhaps there is a printout

 
At 10:07 PM, Blogger Jay said...

does it really matter what kind of peanut butter you like?
I mean arent there more important things to share than the kind of peanut butter you like?
Are you really just a choosy mom at heart?
Are you telling me that this is all about JIF peanut butter!
We didn't eat jif p.b.as kids, so why now?
Next I guess you only like DOLE bananas!
Is it the Elvis thing again, open up share it with everyone, be a big DEP, you can do it!

 
At 10:11 PM, Blogger where's jim? said...

This is all very simple.

Clear as a bell..

There is no confusion here.

DEP it's like Pavlov's dog speak of food and we our mouth's start salvating. Start talking food and the next thing you know people start gathering.
What's for Dinner?

#1, all I can is "If I write it, they will read"! Nothing wrong with Dole bananas either or Elvis for that matter. Do I detect a hint of jealousy here? BBT

OBVIOUSLY, you have miss- interpreted my comments, on this feeble attempt to express yourself, called a blog!
I for one was mearly out for a pudging!
nothing more, nothing less!
and you can't even do that correctly! I demand a pudging right now!!
And if I do not get it, I will be back day after day, to ridicule your messages, and torment you!

 
At 1:20 PM, Blogger Swinging Sammy said...

BTW, DEP, are you inocent until proven guilty or "innocent?" Just curious.

 
At 8:08 AM, Blogger Doug E. Pudge said...

J, you will be Pudged when I decide to Pudge. Sammy, you got me dead to rights. Someone of your obvious literary abilities shouldn't even be wasting your time with these things though. BBT
