12 ridiculous things you recognize as a peanut butter addict

Oh my, oh my… peanut butter and me. We just go so well together. Think of it as sushi and soy. Like Corrie Konings and Johnny Kraaijkamp. We are just a golden combo. Can't live without each other. Are you also a peanut-butter-crazy? Then, uh, you probably recognize yourself in the list below.

1. What's wrong with one jar a week? When you're on a roll, it's two. What?

2. You would get out of bed at night for a freshly baked white tiger sandwich with peanut butter. Yes, really. And FAK, now you're hungry.

3. You immediately feel an intimate bond with people who also love peanut butter. And honestly: you could never be friends with people who hate it. Hahaha. Just the thought of it.

4. You drive a few minutes out of your way to the supermarket where your favorite jar is for sale. I mean: without peanut butter sitting? That situation is avoided, you understand.

5. Peanut butter with caramel? Honey? Chili? Bring it on! No matter how many types of peanut butter jars you've collected over the years (some creamy, some crunchy, some bone dry), the absolute number 1 remains the classic from Calvé. And okay, the one from Albert Heijn with honey and nuts.

6. People who prefer Nutella over peanut butter you want to slap. In the face. With a chair.

7. You shed a tear when you heard that an official peanut butter store was coming to the Netherlands. #LOVEYOURLIFE.

8. Other people have crazy phobias of spiders, you are terrified of suddenly developing a peanut allergy overnight. THE HORROR.

9. Is it really bad to take a jar with you on vacation? I mean: you never know for sure if they have it there...

10. Peanut butter with sprinkles, with jam, with cucumber and sambal… You already know the standard stuff, so now you're going to experiment on the next level. Can peanut butter also go on a piece of pear? Or is that weird?

11. Gone are the days when you spread the stuff politely and decently with a knife on your bread. Sometimes you feel a bit ashamed of it, but you have no choice. The feeling is stronger than you. With. That. Spoon. Straight. In. That. Jar. And. In. Your. Mouth.

12. You prefer to incorporate your favorite product into every meal. And suddenly you have soooo much desire to make peanut soup tonight. Or what do you think about peanut cookies? Yep, it’s true: peanut butter is the glue that holds your life together.

So, now let's just spread a white tiger sandwich.
