I've learned three things about making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches over the years:
1. Creamy and chunky are both great.
2. They taste terrible with a Diet Coke.
2. Never use Wonder Bread. It tears too easily.
November is National Peanut Butter Lover's Month. Here's a bunch of facts about peanut butter (did you know the average kid will eat 1500 PB&J sandwiches by the time they graduate high school?). Skippy has a bunch of crafts and games for the kids, while Jif has some interesting peanut butter recipes, including Peanut Butter Muffins and Chicken Peanut Mole.
Also check out PeanutButterLovers.com, a site for people who...well, you know, love peanut butter.

I don't care how natural it is if it tastes like peanut poo.
