I’m a peanut butter fanboi according to Ponzi. I’ll eat it right off of a spoon. She went shopping and wanted to buy some more. At the store, she noticed that there was one brand who claimed to be the best tasting. So, she decided to make me do a peanut butter taste test. My rules were that I had to rate each brand on creaminess, how much it tasted like actual peanuts, and overall taste.

First, I had to start off by tasting actual nuts. The first kind was Planter’s Honey Roasted peanuts. She had Blue Diamond almonds, flavored with soy and wasabi. Then, lastly, she had some Blue Diamond Lime and Chili almonds. I guessed the peanut flavor right off the bat. With the lime and chili almonds, it took me a minute to figure out the lime part. I guessed pepper and jalapeno, but never got around to chili. On the last one, I knew right away it was almonds with wasabi, but I swear I couldn’t taste any soy sauce!

On to the peanut butter! Ponzi showed the different brands to the chat room. First up was Jif Simply creamy. It’s very creamy, but not as good as the last brand I tried. It was about middle of the road as far as peanutty taste.

The next brand was Skippy Natural creamy. It’s a different flavor, but I like it. It has some kind of kick to it. It’s very creamy, even more than the Jif. The flavor is excellent on this one.

The third one is I’m Healthy original creamy Soy Nut butter. It’s creamy, but it’s also very… ick. The taste is just nasty. I knew it wasn’t real peanut butter. Dude, seriously. Give me a bucket. I’m not eating that. I told her to throw that one away.

The last brand is an organic peanut butter. I was afraid to try it, I admit it. I told Ponzi that if this one wasn’t actual peanut butter, I was putting it up her nose! First, I sniffed it. It smelled like peanut butter, so I tried it. Good consistency, and creamy. It isn’t quite as creamy as the first two, but it had more of a peanut taste.

After trying all of them, I’d have to say #2 was my favorite. Funny thing is, Ponzi revealed that that is the same one who has a label claiming they are the best tasting peanut butter of them all. Kat disagrees though. She prefers Jif, and after watching this video to put it online for me, she went to the kitchen to make a sandwich. Seriously.

Ponzi has now threatened to make me eat that Soy stuff the next time she’s mad at me. I think I’ll start learning to behave.
