Nutella is better anyway...

This will prolly end up like that eggo shortage we had awhile back. Nobody really noticed except for the hardcores.

Wait, I'm confused... Are there different types of peanuts?

I just really need to know: Can I go to my local pub, grab a scoop of peanuts and eat them while nonchalantly tossing the shells on the floor?

I buy 2 jars of natural pb a week, to go along with my nutella and bread.

This SADDENS me greatly.

If anyone actually wants to try this do it right. Buttered toast with a light spread. It should not be as dark as it is in the jar. It's an extremely acquired taste and most people who don't eat it like that first will hate the stuff.

I love it of course. I can eat it with a spoon.

I love vegemite. Thick toast + butter + thinly spread vegemite = perfection.

I'm also partial to eating peanut butter out of the jar.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Everyone where I lived saw this coming as soon as GA passed the immigration law. I knew harvest at least in GA was going to suffer a shit ton.

Also don't expect this shit at least where I live to get better next year either. As long as that immigration law is in effect crops here are going to be FUCKED.

Doesn't help that it was hot as fuck this year either, but we always here that down here.

If you're hesitant, they sell single serving packets as well for like $0.70 at Walmart and such

Why does Nutella always get mentioned in every peanut butter thread? I don't see how one can replace the other because they really taste nothing alike.

I really like them both. What is this one versus the other bullshit?

Peanut butter is God-tier and Nutella sucks ass, that's this one vs the other argument.

13% reduction in peanut harvest
30% increase in price

Prices for a ton of runner peanuts, commonly used to make peanut butter, hit nearly $1,200 this month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's up from just $450 per ton a year ago. Overall, the USDA projects that American peanut production will hit 3.6 billion pounds this year, down 13% from last year.

And prices are nearly 3x higher per ton on a 13% reduction. Damn peanut farmers price gouging the major food corps :(

Almost correct. Try it on a English muffin with some cheese = fucking heavinly.

It's STRONG. Go easy, you only need a small amount. Most people fucking freak out cause they lather it on like it was butter, don't do that.
