Costco article has nothing to do with PB but I’m betting the AI is showing me a picture of allergic butter. Frankly dangerous.

Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

    You have peanut butter named Jif? That’s weird, where I come from Jif is an abrasive cleaner.

    …Is your peanut butter gritty?

      That one is creamy, so no. But there is gritty peanut butter, we generally refer to it as “chunky”.

        I think the natural peanut butter - the kind that separates easily, could be better described as “gritty”. Jif is not that, though.

      The cleaner used to be called Jif, it’s been called Cif since they started selling it in France, where “Jif” is slang for a condom lol

        Native French here, I had never heard of that word.

        And my grandma still has a bottle dating back from when it wasn’t called Cif yet. It’s “Vim”. Guess she still has it because she didn’t figure out how to quit it.

        But also in Asian markets the J part was not easy, so needed to rebranded.

        Of course what they renamed it to was the short way of saying Syphillis in the UK. It definitely wasn’t a win win.

      US food stand has been what they are, we can’t rule out that it’s not the same product.
