I can remember eating peanut butter and jelly on soft white Wonder Bread when I was a little girl, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water. There is no doubt, peanut butter is delicious, fun, and an all american classic... lets celebrate by indulging in this yummy (and healthy) treat! I encourage you to be a kid again and have some fun with peanut butter!

You are weird. I hate the feeling of peanut butter on Wonder bread sticking in a gunky clump on the roof of my mouth. It's like you need an entire glass of liquid to get that sucker down!! And lots of people are allergic to peanut butter- so be careful when you encourage people to go eat it...if someone goes into anaphylactic shock- I'm blaming you!! Hee hee ;) Love ya.
