Confessions Of A Peanut Butter Enthusiast

If someone tries to tell you that you eat too much peanut butter, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Confessions Of A Peanut Butter Enthusiast

For me, a broke college student, food falls into two categories: Peanut butter and food to pair with peanut butter. Peanut butter doesn't need another food to accompany it, but any foods that you do put with peanut butter just serves as a way to get the it into your mouth quicker!

Here are seven confessions of a peanut butter addict.

1. Your friendships are hinged on whether they like smooth or crunchy.

I only associate myself with 'smooth' people. I could spend a lifetime debating which one is better and i have a long list of reasons as to why smooth is better. One example, less chewing and more enjoying. What is better than that?!

2. Ants on a log was one of my fondest childhood memories.

Peanut butter was the only food that stayed my favorite into adulthood. Peanut butter sandwiches are mostly known as a childhood staple but, it's a cheap, convenient and delicious meal for in between classes or late nights in the library.

3. I know weird facts about peanut butter.

For example, It takes about 540 peanuts to make one jar of peanut butter. John Harvey Kellogg was the first person to patent a peanut butter spread in 1860.

4. When your school is a peanut-free environment.

So you have to eat your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in secret.

5.You use the 'good fats and protein' thing as an excuse for why you eat it so much.

Peanuts are also high in folate which can prevent heart disease, thiamin which helps the body convert carbs into energy, and riboflavin which helps the body metabolize fat, carbs, and proteins. Bam! I just love it because it's the perfect combination between sweet and savory. Talk about a healthy cravings kicker!

6. Some non-edible uses for peanut butter include:

Getting gum out of your hair or your shoe, sticker removal, and stopping hiccups. Scientists say that by concentrating on getting the peanut butter off of the roof of your mouth it should return your breathing to normal. I also read that peanut butter is a good leather conditioner. I've never tried this one simply because i like to savor my peanut butter for eating!

7. You incorporate peanut butter into a lot of your meals.

Breakfast: Cheerios, yogurt, and peanut butter

Lunch: Peanut butter and banana sandwich

Dinner: Chicken with peanut sauce

Dessert: Peanut butter pie


Peanut butter is a lifestyle.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
