It is rough that many types of peanut butter contain the sugar content they do. Really deceptive with how significant it builds up to being once put into perspective. I encourage y'all to try plain peanut butter, just nuts and salt. Gonna be a slightly different experience, but the peanut intensity is just so much greater, and man its much healthier.
Speaking from experience, as I am actively eating it now.
As a child I had a mission, one I failed at over and over again. I wanted to make peanut butter toast as good as Grandma. PB toast at my grandparents' house was delicious, at home it was trash. I thought I had it the time I noticed she put a little butter on it before the PB. My disappointment was immeasurable when I found that although it helped, it was still nowhere as good. I could never get above a 4/5 to Grandma's 10. I started to wonder, was it just the environment? Was it sitting in Grandma's sunny kitchen before going golfing with Grandpa that made it the food of the gods?
At some point I stopped trying and it became one of those things from childhood I forgot; until my girlfriend (now wife) went grocery shopping and bought real PB. It immediately brought back memories that I hadn't had for over a decade. I realized this was it, it was so simple, Grandma had the real shit and I only had Skippy/Jiff shit.
It still blows my mind. How the fuck did my parents' generation, who grew up with the good stuff, accept this shitty substitute? It's not even cheaper. I just checked the nearest grocery store and the ones that are just peanuts and salt are the cheapest.
Thank you, Father Peanut.
I tried to start a peanut butter religion with my friends. We came up with names of deities, holy rites, and decided that priests had to wear the mr peanut outfit. Sadly we couldn't get many others to convert to our new religion….

May Pata Pinati bless you this day
After eating "natural" peanut butter for a long time, the "regular" peanut butter seems sketchy AF now. Loaded with chemicals.
Ingredients: peanuts, salt.
This is what I want in my PB
Aren't the serving sizes intentionally small so they can get away with saying that stuff has less sugar?
Smaller portion = less sugar, fat, salt, calories etc... If I remember correctly a few states have addressed making unrealistic portion sizes for the label as making misleading claims.
Tic-tacs are 94% sugar. A serving of tic-tacs is 1 tic-tac, which is just under half a gram. The FDA considers less than half a gram of sugar in a serving to be negligible and not required to be listed.
In other words, a product that is 94% sugar is legally sugar-free.
Nutrients should always be listed in pr 100g or in percent (effectively the same).
As it is the in the EU
Its incomprehensible to me that this isn't mandatory around the world
Tic tacs have a serving size of less than a gram so they can claim 0g of sugar.
Only in America. Always thought that was a weird law.
They are almost always 1 oz (28g).
But, individually packaged stuff does tend to pull bullshit like “1 serving=half a bottle of soda”
Peanut butter is probably going to be fine though
In the EU (probably in the rest of europe too) you must have a per 100 gram (you can have bullshit "portions" too if you want to, but the "per 100 gram" must be there).
How the hell do you americans compare different brands??
"serving size" is a BS scam. it's "whatever amount so the calories look OK"...
I'm not out of touch, those lying fucks trying to obscure the calories are at fault
Suggested serving sizes have never been realistic. Manipulated by the manufacturer to make us think the food is lower in calories than it actually is.
In reality we all serve ourselves a fifth of a jar. List THOSE calories on the label please.
Yeah ‘serving size: three jelly beans’ or ‘one Oreo cookie’ are not realistic even for people who don’t actually binge them.
The serving size is what I snack on while I'm making my peanut butter sandwich.
It's the recommended serving sizes that are out of touch with reality.
Damn personal size potato chip bag said 2.5 servings!
A single serving was like 6 chips!
Half my diet was stopping eating peanut butter. The other half was drinking less. Helth
Peanut butter is delicious but it's basically the neutron star of food calories! Makes me sad.
That's one of the reasons peanut butter is an incredible survival food. Nutrient/calorie dense, doesn't need refrigeration, shelf stable for a long long time, it's delicious. It checks a lot of boxes that not many other foods can.
Yes, PB is great for camping/hiking for this reason.
That 2 tablespoon serving shows me that i regularly eat 4 servings per sammich.
Bro, what the fuck
There's 4 tablespoons in a quarter cup, so 8 would be half a cup of peanut butter. Seems like a lot, but I haven't had peanut butter in years because of allergies
It's not me that's out of touch with reality, peanut butter jar.
We would like to remind you that your peanut butter jar will never talk back to you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that your peanut butter jar does speak, we urge you to eat its contents immediately and dispose of the jar responsibly. Please recycle.
A serving size of peanut butter is one.
One spoon.
One inch.
One jar.
etc.
