Yeah yeah I know you guys invented it but modern american peanut butter isn't even peanut butter. That shit just tastes like icing sugar holy shit. It's fine in something small and chocolatey like a reeses cup but I can't eat that shit in a sandwich without feeling sick.

It's supposed to be a savory spread of mashed peanuts in oil and salt, it's not fucking cake frosting

    Not all peanut butter sold in stores is that garbage. There are brands of normal, stir-in-the-oil type peanut butter. They don't get advertised on TV, though.

      Can someone tell me what these normal peanut butter brands without the sugar are? I think I tried an organic version once and it was both really liquidy and also didn't taste that much different to me, but I could have a bad palate.

      Edit: also, wanting savoury peanut butter on our sugar-ass bread doesn't really help much. Presumably one would want to eat this non-sugary peanut butter on non-sugary bread while we're at it.

        My family favored Teddie All Natural Smooth, there's also Smucker's Natural and other brands, and someone else here mentioned store brands. Basically, look at the ingredients, and if they list anything but peanuts and salt, don't buy that.

          Picked up Teddie because it was on sale and knowing nothing about it. That stuff rocks. Couldn't believe that the stir in peanut butter could be that good! Most of the more natural peanut butter I had before was just an oil bomb.
