Fab 5: Peanut Butter Recipes

12765

Smooth or crunchy, with chocolate or without, no matter the texture or recipe peanut butter has made its way into the hearts of many Americans. In honor of National Peanut Butter Lover’s month, we thought we would share some quick facts about peanut butter that you probably didn’t know:

- Peanut butter was first introduced in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair.

- Peanut butter has other uses outside of eating, such as eliminating fish odors, removing sticky items such as gum or stickers, fixing scratched CDs, polishing the furniture, or curing the hiccups.

- If someone is afraid of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of their mouth, they could have Archibutyrophobia.

- The “Peanut Gallery” was the cheapest set of seats in the theater, usually near the back, from which people could throw peanuts on the audience members below to show displeasure with the play.

- Do not stress about the expiration dates for peanut butter. An open jar usually has a shelf life of several months.

- Chunky peanut butter is the top men’s choice while smooth is the ladies’.
