I was reading The Journal where a women in Glengary opened up a 34.5-ounce can of Maxwell House Coffee and it was full of Jiff penut butter! To make things even weirder Maxwell House, is manufactured by Kraft who does not make any penut butter!

Too weird!!(twilight zone music here) I think somebody is yankin someone's chain with that story.I can't figure out how that could happen.

It was in the Martinsburg Journal! Kraft and Jiff are coming to the women's house to investigate. The weird thing is she bought three of them on sale, and only one had penut butter. Here's the link to the story http://www.journal-news.net/news/story/121...ee_121703_n.asp

OK, this got me a little curious, so since I was bored, I thought I would BUST this MYTH.

So in my invetsigation, I found out that Kraft was part of a MUCH bigger conglomeration of companies, and I'm sure there's some peanut butter in there. I'm sure the mother organization shares resources as far as packaging goes. Here's some of the useless stuff I found:

1960
Kraft peanut butter is introduced in Canada.

1985
General Foods Corporation is acquired by Philip Morris Companies Inc.

1985
R.J. Reynolds merges with Nabisco Brands creating the largest consumer goods company in the U.S. Added to Nabisco's food portfolio are Del Monte canned products, A.1. steak sauce (developed in the 1820s) and Grey Poupon mustard (introduced in 1877).

1988
Kraft, Inc. is acquired by Philip Morris Companies Inc., making Philip Morris the world's largest consumer products company.

1989
The food products divisions of Philip Morris - General Foods and Kraft - are joined to become Kraft General Foods. Kraft General Foods International is also established.

2000
Kraft Foods' parent company Philip Morris Companies Inc. acquires Nabisco Holdings, a world leader in cookies, crackers and snacks. The Nabisco brands are integrated into the Kraft Foods business worldwide.

Kraft told the Journal reporter that they don't make any penut butter, plus Jiff is only manufactured in Lexington, KY and Kraft doesn't have any plants there.

OK WVU--i give credit where credit is due!

I didn't even read the whole article, at first, but it DID state that there was a JAR of peanut butter inside the coffee can. This could be the act of any disgruntled packager. Very intesting indeed, the act of some terrorist???

OR the story of a friend of a friend....etc.

You have way too much time on your hands, BKB

I do MOm. That's becasue i do all my shopping online, therefore saving so much time going out shopping in the malls

I still want to hear the update about this suspicious peanut butter

Yes! Was it a used jar(yuk) or a new jar?????

Was it creamy or crunchy peanut butter?

According to the article the jar was smashed in the bottom of the can, but it didn't say crunchy or creamy, but I'm thinking creamy.

I'm thinking if the jar was smashed WVU, it was crunchy--heeee heeee

LOL

So has anything else been written about this great mystery? I don't get the Journal and their web site is a joke.

I haven't seen anything. I guess it'll just be one of those mysteries that you never figure out.

I haven't seen a follow-up in the paper about it, but in the Journal Junction, there was a caller who said something like, "To the lady who found the peanut butter in her coffee: I have your coffee. It was in my peanut butter." I guess this person was just trying to get a few laughs.

Our very own Urban Legend!!

well, if anyone out there likes (or wants to try) Peanut Butter coffee, they have it at Greencastle Coffee Roasters! I saw it today while I was there picking up our freshly roasted peanuts (yum!)

It really exists?! How funny! Road trip to Greencastle!!

Peanut butter coffee sounds horrid! Then again I hate flavored coffee.

To quote Denis Leary, "what ever happened to COFFEE flavored coffee?!"

Boy,do I agree with that!!It's getting so that when you want to order a coffee some where (just a regular cup o joe) they look at ya like you're a nut! Give me my rocket fuel.

Coffee should taste like coffee..I admit I do occassionally like a latte but mostly, give me straight JAVA--no that is not saying I do not indulge in different bean combinations...I love expensive ones--although sometimes they seem to come out weak..
