Lol those are awesome. A few weeks ago I went on vacation to the US, for the first time. Being Dutch, I've never had JIF peanut butter before, and having recently received my [JiF] tag, I felt this obligation to buy a jar and try it out for myself.
Later, at the table, I sat and stared at this jar for 10 minutes, I couldn't bring myself to open it and spread it on my bread. I felt I had some strange bond with this bottle of peanut butter, that it would somehow be cannabilistic to eat it, and would splinter the deep meaningful relationship I was developing with it. Not to mention somehow breaching a [JiF] code of conduct.
My friends little 3 year old solved the dilemma for me! Minutes later I see him in the kitchen with a sticky brown face and a rash appearing on his skin. As far as I was concerned, he had now partaken in some obscure JiF ritual and drunk of the water of life. I am now teaching him the ways of the force, and when his training is complete, a new generation Jif'er will he one day become. You will know him by his skinrash and his name shall be [JiF]Allergic To Peanuts.

War Trophy, there must be something strangely attractive about this JIF stuff.
We've just had my wife's brother & family down for the weekend.
Now I too bought a jar of JIF when I was in the States. My daughter & I had broken the seal & partaken of a small amount each, deciding it was the best we had ever tasted & we were going to make it last.
WRONG Imagine my face when I came down to breakfast Sunday morning & there amongst the table, which resembled something from the Somme, was our jar of JIF with the lid off
I quickly moved to scene of the massacre to rescue our beloved jar from amongst the detritus, only to find that they had managed to consume half it in one sitting
I was beside myself. I cradled that poor little jar in my arms, carefully replaced it's lid & tucked it back in the cupboard from whence it came, muttering foul oaths under my breath.
This stuff is like the finest caviar. It should only be consumed by connoisseurs, not 3 year olds, who have not yet been taught to appreciate the finer things in life.
Oh woe is me!

I feel sad and yet somewhat humbled by the experiences of my fellow JiFFers.
Some of us in the states take for granted that little jar of greatness.
You have awakened something i thought i had lost.
That feeling of pure pleasure,that is the Great Taste of my little jar of creamy delight.(crunchy is just as good)

When i get home today and reach for that jar of delight, i will think of all those poor souls who have never experienced this thing we call JiF.

yes. Within a week I'd tried everything - Jif on bread, Jif, on toast, Jif on eggs, Jif on Oreos, on chocolate icecream, and with muesli cereal.
But there's an end to the tale, I came across a store in Den Haag (netherlands) near where I live, called The American Book Center, and they sell English language books, magazines and other imported goodies, and there on a shelf, next a box of Quakers oats, I saw the stocks of JiF
