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.

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.

They have a whole line of that prepper stuff.  $8,500 will get you a four-year supple (for one person).

Skippy started from a pickle factory in California.  Maybe Mad Maxine grew up eating it.

Has to be Jif for this conservative.

DOI:10.7312/columbia/9780231162333.003.0006
This chapter charts the history of the Skippy brand of peanut butter. Skippy was launched in 1933, five years after Peter Pan, amid the Great Depression. Skippy peanut butter was the brainchild of Joseph Rosefield (birth name Rosenfield), a native of Louisville, Kentucky. The Rosefield Packing Company would be the most successful business to come out of Alameda, California. Before the company turned its attention exclusively to the manufacture of peanut butter, it was one of the largest pickle makers in the state of California. By the 1920s the Rosefield Packing Company was making its first brand of peanut butter called Luncheon. Rosefield then developed a more successful concept and patented it: stabilizing peanut butter via the process of hydrogenation. Skippy peanut butter expanded rapidly. When Skippy turned profitable in 1940, it began to advertise. Skippy would eventually become America's best-selling peanut butter for more than thirty years.

That "greasy ass stuff on the top" is peanut oil.  It would separate out of regular peanut butter if they didn't add hydrogenated oil to keep it from separating.  You can pour the peanut oil off and then give the jar a mix with a long spoon or knife and stick it in the fridge and it's perfect.

I never touch the stuff.
