Did You Know. . .

that June 12th is known as National Peanut Butter Cookie Day?  (It was just a coincidence that I posted the Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwich recipe!)

that about 540 peanuts make a 12 ounce jar of peanut butter?  That's a lot of peanuts!

that the first person to patent peanut butter was Marcellus Gilmore Edson?   He was from Montreal, Quebec and the year was 1884.

there is a name for the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth?  It is called arachibutyrophobia.

that the oldest, continuously operating seller and manufacturer of peanut butter in the United States is still selling it?  The Krema Nut company located in Columbus, Ohio makes the claim that it has been doing so since 1898.
