Can you guess if America prefers smooth or creamy?
Peanut butter was considered a delicacy in the early 1900s.
Peanut butter with watercress and peanut butter pimento sandwiches were popular in upscale teahouses.
Sales numbers have shown that people who live on the East Coast prefer smooth, while people on the West Coast prefer their peanut butter crunchy.
Of all the peanut butter sold in the U.S. though, 80% is smooth, while only 17% is crunchy.
The other 3% accounts for all of those whacky peanut butter varieties, like chocolate peanut butter, and peanut butter mixed with jelly.
To make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter, you need 540 peanuts.
That's a heck of a lot of nuts.
