    If you’ve ever watched the british baking show you’d know brits fucking hate peanut butter.

    Historically, a lot of americans are just brits which leads me to believe peanut butter is an aquired, cultural taste so a lot of the marketing was probably necessary.

      brit and I did hate peanut butter as a kid.

      however I will also say that Reeces is peanut butter flavored confectionary, it is not strictly peanut butter.

        I get what you’re saying but I think its still more cultural than anything. Whenever I run into a brit I ask them if they like coffee and peanut butter and I’ve gotten more “no” than “yes” on both questions.

        I expect for most people who didn’t grow up with peanut butter as a kid they will just not like it, sugared up or not.

          Nope. removed that. Peanuts? Yes. Butter? Yes. Sauce (e.g., stir fry)? Yes. With chocolate? Yes. Protein shake? Yes. Sandwich? Yes. Curry? Yes. A pastry? Yes. Savory? Yes.

          The entire world agrees that peanuts need to be gargled.
