When Marcellus Gilmore Edson first patented peanut butter in 1884, he probably didn’t realize it would become a taste sensation that would sweep the nation. Whether you go crunchy or smooth, on January 24 we put down our cell phones and pick up our spreading knives to celebrate National Peanut Butter Day.
National Peanut Butter Day Activities
- Go Peanut Butter Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAs a fun challenge, see if you can eat peanut butter in every meal today. You could start with peanut butter on a bagel in the morning, perhaps a peanut butter based dressing for your lunchtime salad, and even a Thai peanut curry (which often uses peanut butter as an ingredient) for dinner!
- Host a Peanut Butter PartySure, there are parties for foods like pizza, but why not have some nostalgia for that smooth or crunch food you had growing up? It makes a great party for the kids, too!
- Get Your Sweetie Something NuttyGifts are always good, but surprising gifts on unexpected occasions are even better! If peanut butter is one of his or her favorite foods, surprise them with a gift that says you noticed!
