RANDOM TIDBITS
Archibutyrophobia (pronounced A'-ra-kid-bu-ti-ro-pho-bi-a) is the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth.

The south has the best climate for growing peanuts in the United States. Sixty percent them are grown in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama and Half of that 60 percent is used to make peanut butter.

The world's largest peanut butter and jelly sandwich, made in Grand Saline, T.X., weighed 1,342 pounds.

It takes one acre of peanuts to make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches.

We spend almost $800 million a year on peanut butter in the United States.

Peanuts aren't nuts. They're legumes. So it's technically inaccurate to call it a nut butter, but it's usually referred to one anyway.
