hey creston what other types of peanut butter are there? and what are they like compared to the americafuckyeah stuff? i do my best to be a citizen of the world, but some of the more obscure stuff always slips through the cracks of my brain.
I was talking about the differences between countries. Peanut Butter in the US typically has a lot more sugar (at least some brands do), though the Peter Pan PB that my wife and I eat apparently only has 2g per tsp. (compared to Nutella, which has 21g per tsp.  )
The Dutch PB I grew up with had no sugar, so personally, as a sweet tooth, I love the US version far more than I do the Dutch one. And I always got an Austrian or Swiss type of PB from a deli, but I can't remember what it was called... It also had quite a bit of sugar in it.
Obviously people's tastes will vary. Some people may hate the sugary stuff and would likely much prefer the Dutch no-sugar-PB.
But in any case, Nutella is better than all of them!

It did seem to show all the signs of Whiskey withdrawal when it was first plopped in there: I had to teach it that it will get Gin and Vodka from now on...
Edit: these Honest Trailers seem to have gone past their peak. It's a new voice isn't it? Doesn't seem to have the same attitude as before and the jokes are getting quite similar. I really enjoyed Skyfall although it really uses the Bond artistic license to the limit and the final set piece was crap as mentioned. (spoiler:) Fuel canisters explode and fly up and take down the bad guy in his helicopter, leaving him alive for a confrontation? That's as derivative and lazy as it comes.

I have a kidney from my dad which is perhaps going to last 5 years, maybe 10, maybe as much as 15 more years.

Awesome progress on stem cell transplants. I am keeping a big eye open for these articles, I have a kidney from my dad which is perhaps going to last 5 years, maybe 10, maybe as much as 15 more years. I need technology to sort out stem cells ready for when I am need of another one. I'd really love to leave the immunosuppressant tablets behind... come on boffins, full steam ahead!

I use "Natural" Jif. The only difference between it and regular is it uses palm oil instead of hydrogenated stuff (which really I don't give a fuck about, they both cost the same so I get the Natural one so I can pretend to be a co-op-shoppin hipster dick).

You stir it and spread it on something, it's not really made for eating a spoon at a time like the ones with artificial flavoring and preservatives. |

Jif/Skippy vs natural.
I refuse to eat peanut butter with ingredients other than peanuts and salt.
Yeah, avoid Jif/Skippy. In addition to sugar, they have hydrogenated oils to prevent separation of the oil. Better than the partially hydrogenated oils they used to use, but still not good.
Go with something like Adams Peanut Butter. |

I can't speak for peanut butter, but the almond butter I've looked into is just almonds and oil.

Well at least you're not light sensitive. Oncoming headlights at night, sun reflected off snow, etc. and I'm just blind as a bat.

I spent about 25 minutes with that company back in August, quizzing them pretty extensively on their claims. Anecdotally they can back it up, but I'd love to actually talk to some of their users.
