The Peanut Butter Debate: Chunky vs. Smooth


Ever since I ate my first peanut butter and jelly sandwich as a kid, the debate over which type of peanut butter is best, has been raging in our home. 
 
Pops always insisted on Chunky JifPeanut Butter. My little sister wouldn’t eat anything But Skippy. My sister Wendy and her boyfriend John loved Peter Pan Peanut Butter for obvious reasons. We tried the natural stuff, the creamy kind. The extra chunky stuff. We tired them all. Any time my mom would find peanut butter coupons she would buy a jar. 



When I think snack to my childhood, I remember eating a lot of peanut butter, and not a lot of anything else. It’s fine though, considering how good and healthy it is. But regardless of how many Peanut Butter Coupons my mom clipped, and no matter how many varieties we had in our cupboard, no one ever agreed on the perfect peanut butter. 


Of course my personal favorite is a giant jar of chunky Jif. When I find peanut buttercoupons, I always buy a couple jars. When the apocalypse comes, I’ll be hunkered down in my basement eating Jif with a spoon. I’m convinced I cold live on that stuff. I practically did for the first 18 years of life anyway.
