Study: If you favor Jif peanut butter over Skippy, you’re probably a conservative

Would you think a person who frequents Arby’s is a conservative? What about Applebee’s? Is a person who buys Grey Poupon likely rich? Is someone who buys Thomas’ English muffins probably white?

The answer to all of the above questions are “yes,” according to an interesting University Of Chicago study covered in The Washington Post this week. The study claims that researcher-developed algorithms can predict a person’s political and social viewpoints—or even their race—depending on what they purchase with up to 90 percent accuracy:

    If someone went to Arby’s or Applebee’s or used Jif peanut butter, you might guess they were conservative. If they didn’t own fishing gear or use ranch dressing, but drank alcohol and bought novels? Probably a liberal....

...In 1992, Grey Poupon mustard predicted income better than any other brand. By 2016, its place as the key signifier of the country’s economic and cultural divide had been taken by Apple’s iPhone. ...

Is there a difference between the two?  I really don't even pay attention. Usually what is on sale that is chunky.

I love the stuff.  Don't know how I could ever live without it.  Yum!  Creamy....

(And this study proves it...I love Jif.  Choosy mothers choose that stuff.)

This was the #1 predictor on Social Views that someone is white:

Variable: Ever approve of police striking citizen
Question: Are there any situations you can imagine in which you would approve of a policeman striking an adult male citizen?

My preferences, I think Jif natural with honey in it but generally, when it is on special only.  Skippy has a natural too, I have one right here but no honey in it.

Otherwise, usually what's on special. I know this lady who for some reason is picky about Fisher's Peanut Butter and you have to hunt for that. One of our stores carries it. I know they use it to cook some cookies.



I do like the ones with honey and will buy the Smucker's Peanut Butter and Jelly from time to time too. Must be when I really have a sweet tooth.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
