I Like Peanut Butter…


Skippy vs. Jif:
Creamy Peanut Butter

Like most red-blooded American kids, I grew up on peanut butter, not only PB&J sandwiches and peanut butter crackers but also peanut butter candy, ice cream, milkshakes, etc. You could say peanut butter was one of my favorite foods when I was a kid, but that wouldn’t be quite right. That’s because peanut butter is still one of my favorite foods. I like -no, LOVE-peanut butter.

Skippy was my main squeeze. It was the brand my mom bought and I stayed loyal when I launched out on my own. It’s a great product and I would have never cheated with another if I hadn’t been forced into it when the store was sold out. Then I tried Jif for the first time.

It wasn’t love at first bite, but Jif does taste more like peanuts. I realized that after I tried to go back to Skippy. Jif also has a low-fat alternative that tastes really good. Skippy has an oilier flavor, and after eating Jif, I just couldn’t go back. It was a bittersweet farewell, but I had a new love: Jif Peanut Butter. Sorry, Mom.

Winner: Jif

  1. Hey LeAnn!

    I'm Dewayne's camp friend, Lisa. :) I saw your blog link on his FB and wanted to come over check it out. What a fabulous concept!

    I wish I could be more PB help, but I personally hate it. However, my kids absolutely love Jif x-crunchy.

    Much love!

  3. I also grew up on Skippy but now buy Jif. I started buying Jif because that is what Costco sold, but it is now my preference.
