Believe it or not, I bought some yesterday for my daughter that matches the 16.3 oz size and UPC number. Thanks for posting. It wasn't opened.

Skippy is an inferior product. I jumped over to Jif and remained there for years.

Whole Foods sold me on some natural concoction but it took me a week to fletcherize & get down a teaspoon.

Push comes to shove and I realized a few months ago that i had a PB problem. English muffins, celery, PBJ's, the works.

I can't bring it in the casa no mo'. Now I go to meetings on Thursday PM's.

Hi, I'm BM and I have a problem with PB. :eek:

Do you have any idea what you've just done to my psyche?

I love bacon & I love PB.

My mind is about to blow.

Mack, I know that Mr.William T.Young, the now deceased owner of that big old, highly successful sire will all know as Storm Cat would enjoy reading about your fondness of his product.

Mr.Young created Big Top peanut butter way, way back. He built and owned the largest, and it still is today, manufacturing plant for the making of peanut butter in the country. Its in Lexington, where he lived on his farm, Overbrook. He later sold Big Top to Proctor and Gamble. Its been Jif since they purchased it.

After that, Mr.Young went on making "mo and mo money" in the storage bidness and then, like that won't enough, he decided to get in the horse bidness.

Mack, think about what he made, just on Storm Cat alone, at 500K a pop. Not too mention all those other horses he bred, owned, sold, or ran.

To think, all this began with just some peanut butter.:lol: :eek: :lol:

Mr.Young was a fine, fine man.

I remember Big Top PB. I used to put grasshoppers in the empty jar for fishing porpoises. They'd hop but they weren't goin' nowhere. I was humane, I punched holes in the top. :eek:

I didn't know Wm. was a PB king. He has a colorful daughter; Lucy...

I thought of all these stories when Bill Young died several years ago, and thought of them again recently when Bill Young Jr., his son and Lucy Young Boutin's brother, announced that the family-owned Overbrook Farm in Kentucky was getting out of the horse business.

Many years after Boutin's death, Lucy married William Hamilton, a New Yorker cartoonist, novelist and playwright. No one this side of Liz Taylor has married more interesting men than Lucy Young. Hamilton's cartoons are known for harpooning the rich, and he once wrote a play about two swells who woke up one morning to find out that they had turned black.

"The fascination," he said in an old interview, "comes from being near money but being far enough away that I couldn't quite get my fingers around it." That concern may now be moot. I read someplace where one of their first post-nuptual discussions was whether to buy an apartment in Manhattan, or keep her private plane.http://www.horseraceinsider.com/blog.php/lines-in-the-sand/lucy-of-overbrook-farm/

LOLOLOL I didn't know Lucy had been married so many times. She used to come to Keeneland with her daddy. Often one would see the two of them, side by side, in the Winner's Circle. I never saw the son. I figured he didn't care anything about the horses, so I wasn't surprised they wanted out of the horse 'bidness' after their daddy died.

Lord, have mercy they made "mo and mo millions" with the dispersal sale. I MEAN! BUT, they kept, the big boy. They kept Storm Cat--he's living out his days in his same surroundings at Overbrook. Wonder if the majority of the land that was the farm is now been divided into subdivisions? Gotta go back to Lex. to find out this one. It was a beautiful farm.

There's a processing plant near me in Dunkirk, NY. Peanut Butter is one of their products- they sell under many different labels.

William F Buckley (bless his soul) was a big fan. Ordered by the multi-casefull.

Brain food indeed.

I must have an unAmerican stripe on my manly, muscular body somewhere because I love peanuts, but I can't stand peanut butter! :ThmbDown:

P.S. But all is not lost. I just finished reading an article about the five great benefits of coffee drinking. :jump: :jump:

Peanut Butter is the perfect food. Its cheap, tastes great, no saturated fat or cholesterol, its filling and quick to make. How can you beat all that?

What's really good on a PB & J sammich is a thin layer of Miracle Whip.
