00:00:00
are you ready to talk peanut butter are
00:00:02
you ready to talk about Canadian peanut
00:00:04
butter you've probably never even
00:00:06
thought about Canadian peanut butter
00:00:07
unless you live in Canada but today
00:00:10
that's what we're going to do greetings
00:00:12
one and all that's right we're back with
00:00:13
another video and we're here to talk
00:00:15
about Canadian peanut butter it's a
00:00:17
topic that I bet you've never thought
00:00:19
about you may never think about again
00:00:21
after this video but that's okay in my
00:00:23
travels you know across the border into
00:00:25
Canada I never really thought much about
00:00:28
peanut butter but eventually you know as
00:00:30
I was you know perusing the aisles I
00:00:33
would start to notice the brands of
00:00:34
peanut butter that they had and I was
00:00:37
kind of intrigued by it because the
00:00:39
brands are really well-known brands in
00:00:41
the United States but those Brands don't
00:00:43
actually sell peanut butter in the
00:00:44
United States and in turn the biggest
00:00:47
brands of peanut butter in the US aren't
00:00:50
sold in Canada either which is really
00:00:52
odd and I find that fascinating So today
00:00:55
we're going to take a look at two
00:00:56
Canadian brands of peanut butter
00:00:59
Planters peanut peanut
00:01:00
butter and craft peanut butter now
00:01:04
Planters and craft two brands that are
00:01:07
wellknown the United States craft is
00:01:09
known for their macaroni and cheese and
00:01:11
all sorts of things really and Planters
00:01:13
is known for peanuts but I've never seen
00:01:16
the peanut butter and I've done some
00:01:18
internet research on this and I do not
00:01:20
find any uh peanut butters buy them in
00:01:24
the United States for sale all the
00:01:26
listings I've looked for eventually lead
00:01:28
me back to Canada now in Canada like I
00:01:31
said they do not have GIF peanut butter
00:01:33
they do not have Skippy they do not have
00:01:34
Peter Pan at least not that I can find
00:01:37
now are they in other parts of Canada
00:01:39
perhaps but in Ontario I have not found
00:01:41
them um but today what we're going to do
00:01:44
is we're going to
00:01:46
compare American GIF and American Peter
00:01:49
Pan peanut butter to the mentioned craft
00:01:53
and Planters and we'll see exactly how
00:01:57
these stack up maybe they all taste the
00:01:59
same who knows but let's
00:02:00
find out I'm going to grade all of these
00:02:02
peanut butters on a scale of 1 to five
00:02:06
peanuts and I'm probably going to use
00:02:08
several criteria one of them being the
00:02:11
creaminess level you know all these are
00:02:13
creamy peanut butters I did not get
00:02:14
Chunky I am anti- chunk let's get that
00:02:17
out of the way right now so these are
00:02:19
creamy peanut butters only but knowing
00:02:21
that how creamy are they next I'm going
00:02:23
to grade them
00:02:25
on the peanut taste um are they do they
00:02:29
have a rich peanut taste to them or is
00:02:31
it more
00:02:33
generic um I think that's important and
00:02:36
finally it will be that xfactor grade
00:02:38
that I'll think about you know are they
00:02:40
you know is it does it have a roasted
00:02:42
taste or is
00:02:44
it kind of more salty or sweeter that
00:02:47
would be kind of that that kind of
00:02:49
mystery part of the flavor that you just
00:02:51
don't know until you taste it so let's
00:02:53
try them all I'm also going to try all
00:02:55
of them in a peanut butter and jelly
00:02:57
sandwich I think that's important as
00:02:59
well so so let's do this up let's try
00:03:01
the Planter's peanut butter just open it
00:03:04
up smells very
00:03:08
peanuty like a real like fresh peanuts
00:03:10
actually which is interesting all right
00:03:14
just got some on a spoon
00:03:23
here
00:03:26
H it's very um I'm definitely getting a
00:03:29
lot of
00:03:30
strong peanut flavor
00:03:32
here which I
00:03:34
appreciate um smoothness Factor pretty
00:03:38
smooth I'm going to I'm going to give it
00:03:41
a four on
00:03:44
smooth I'm going to give
00:03:48
it let going give it a five on Peanut
00:03:53
flavor that X
00:03:56
Factor you know I'm going to probably
00:03:59
say
00:04:02
probably say a four you know it's a
00:04:03
medium roast kind of flavor to it not
00:04:05
too
00:04:07
salty um so now let's try it on a
00:04:09
sandwich all right here we go peanut
00:04:11
butter and jelly with the planter
00:04:13
Canadian peanut
00:04:20
butter you always want good balance you
00:04:24
want the peanut butter to stand out on
00:04:25
its own and not be washed away by the
00:04:28
jelly
00:04:34
I think this does that
00:04:36
job yeah I'm all for
00:04:39
it I still feel the taste of
00:04:43
nuttiness that the Planters offers and I
00:04:46
appreciate
00:04:48
that I give this five
00:04:51
peanuts so overall Planters Canadian
00:04:54
peanut butter gets a score of 18 out of
00:04:57
a possible 20 so so uh now let's move on
00:05:00
to an American one we'll alternate so
00:05:03
let's do uh Jeff peanut butter and see
00:05:05
how that does here we are Jeff peanut
00:05:07
butter an American
00:05:09
staple let's give it a
00:05:19
taste comparatively the creaminess isn't
00:05:23
there I'm only going to give this three
00:05:26
a scale of 1 to five three in a cream a
00:05:28
scale
00:05:31
the peanut taste though is
00:05:33
very very strong as well and I'd say The
00:05:37
X Factor is much stronger here too a
00:05:40
really strong roasted taste on the
00:05:43
GIF so I give the X Factor of five and
00:05:46
the peanut flavor of five feel like that
00:05:49
creaminess only a three just doesn't
00:05:52
have that certain mouth feel that the uh
00:05:54
Planters had let's try it on a sandwich
00:05:57
all right je have peanut butter on a PB
00:05:59
D and
00:06:05
J the roasted is really coming through
00:06:08
once again I can't stress stress that
00:06:13
enough I'd say this is equally as good
00:06:16
as the Planters but in a different
00:06:18
way it doesn't have the same the same
00:06:21
silky smooth texture but that roasted
00:06:25
flavor really comes through so I'm also
00:06:28
giving it a five for how it holds up on
00:06:31
a sandwich just it it holds up in a
00:06:34
different way it gets there on the other
00:06:36
side but it still gets there it's good
00:06:38
so like the uh Planters the overall
00:06:41
score is also an 18 out of 20 for the uh
00:06:45
jef peanut butter so now let's move on
00:06:47
to the next Canadian
00:06:49
version craft these cute little bears
00:06:53
all right so next up we've got the
00:06:54
Canadian craft peanut butter now unlike
00:06:58
the uh plant peanut butter this stuff
00:07:01
was prevalent everywhere like there were
00:07:02
several stores I'd go into in Canada
00:07:04
where they didn't have Planters they
00:07:06
always had craft no matter what province
00:07:08
craft peanut butter is the head honcho
00:07:11
of peanut butter in Canada so let's give
00:07:13
it a shot all right here we
00:07:20
go no no no
00:07:24
no for being like the peanut butter of
00:07:27
Canada this is not good I mean maybe if
00:07:32
I hadn't tasted these other ones side by
00:07:34
side I wouldn't realize just how shitty
00:07:36
this was first let's talk about the
00:07:38
creaminess or lack
00:07:40
thereof um this the creaminess is not
00:07:43
good um it's very gritty like grittiness
00:07:47
into it and n and this is a smooth
00:07:49
peanut butter
00:07:52
no but more importantly I could get past
00:07:56
that if there was Flavor of peanuts in
00:07:58
here there's not this is very generic
00:08:02
very
00:08:03
Bland very little taste of actual peanut
00:08:06
in this peanut butter X Factor there is
00:08:09
no X Factor there's no saltiness there's
00:08:11
no sweetness there's no roasted flavor
00:08:13
the Umami of peanut butter that you want
00:08:16
is just not there and for that reason I
00:08:21
give it I'm going to give it a a two on
00:08:24
the peanut tasting and I'm going to give
00:08:26
it a two on The X Factor and like I said
00:08:29
said a a three no I'm going to get a two
00:08:32
across the board on this one actually
00:08:34
it's just not good so Twos for all of
00:08:36
those categories let's try it on a
00:08:38
sandwich see how that goes all right
00:08:40
here it is the craft peanut butter which
00:08:43
hasn't been very Sellar so far on a PB&J
00:08:47
sandwich let's see how it
00:08:53
tastes
00:08:56
no the jelly just stands out way more so
00:09:00
does the white bread this is freaking
00:09:01
Wonder Bread and the Wonder Bread has
00:09:03
more taste and more value than this
00:09:06
peanut butter does that's not
00:09:09
good yeah this is just empty
00:09:11
calories in terms of peanut
00:09:14
butter it's not as gross eating it with
00:09:18
other stuff because the other things
00:09:20
hide the inadequacies of this peanut
00:09:23
butter I just don't know why it's so
00:09:26
popular I mean it is it these damn bears
00:09:29
do they just hypnotize
00:09:30
you um I'll give it a three for the
00:09:35
sandwich so overall for the craft peanut
00:09:37
butter that's a score of just nine
00:09:39
points out of a possible 20 not good
00:09:43
Canada not good finally today let's talk
00:09:45
about Peter Pan peanut butter and
00:09:47
American peanut butter staple uh we'll
00:09:49
see how it Stacks up can't be any worse
00:09:51
than what I just had but let's find out
00:09:54
all right let's do
00:09:57
it all right first
00:10:00
off the creaminess factor is really high
00:10:04
here this
00:10:05
is Elite
00:10:08
creaminess so there's a five
00:10:10
there peanut
00:10:15
flavor it's better than one I just had
00:10:18
but not as good as the other
00:10:21
two I'm going to give it a
00:10:23
three
00:10:25
uh X
00:10:28
Factor
00:10:32
M I'd say it's a little less sweet than
00:10:34
the other ones not necessarily in a good
00:10:36
way I'm going to give it a three on The
00:10:38
X Factor as well let's try it in a
00:10:40
sandwich all right here we go Peter Pan
00:10:42
peanut butter in PB and
00:10:50
j4 you
00:10:53
know this the creaminess level certainly
00:10:56
helps in the in the sandwich
00:11:00
no doubt about that but the lack of
00:11:03
flavor is
00:11:08
noticeable I'm going to give it a
00:11:10
three I've had worse had a lot better
00:11:15
it's just kind of there so there you go
00:11:17
yeah so overall that's a score of 14 out
00:11:19
of 20 for the Peter Pan peanut butter
00:11:22
definitely really middling it there not
00:11:24
the worst not the best just kind of
00:11:27
exists there have it folks a little
00:11:29
snapshot of Canadian peanut butter vers
00:11:31
American I know there's a lot of other
00:11:33
brands out there and I didn't even get
00:11:36
Skippy for this one or any of the other
00:11:38
generic brands or any of the organic
00:11:39
Brands and I'm sure there's plenty of
00:11:41
other brands in Canada that I didn't
00:11:42
touch either but I thought this was a
00:11:44
good snapshot at least to see exactly
00:11:47
what their main brands are all about so
00:11:49
why not all right so bringing up the
00:11:51
rear craft peanut butter with the score
00:11:53
of just nine out of 20 possible points
00:11:56
it's just not good it's very generic
00:12:00
it's not very smooth it's not very
00:12:02
flavorful it's not very anything it's
00:12:05
like it's just so muted and they kind of
00:12:08
like lur you in with these damn Bears to
00:12:11
make you think oh look at this fun
00:12:12
little cute peanut butter no it sucks
00:12:16
and uh I'm sorry that this is the number
00:12:18
one selling peanut butter in Canada I
00:12:20
don't know why but you've got better
00:12:23
options up there I'm sorry but stay away
00:12:25
from this one in third place with a
00:12:27
score of 14 out of 20 points we've got
00:12:29
American Peter Pan peanut butter
00:12:31
definitely better than craft uh but
00:12:34
definitely a middling peanut butter as
00:12:36
well it's it's okay it does the job but
00:12:40
it's not going to blow you away it's
00:12:42
just going to give you the bare minimum
00:12:45
of decent peanut butter so that's all
00:12:48
all you need then go for it finally tied
00:12:51
for first place both with 18 points out
00:12:53
of a possible 20 we've got the American
00:12:56
GIF and the Canadian Planters uh they
00:13:00
both got there a little bit different
00:13:01
way but they're both flavorful and
00:13:04
pretty delicious on a sandwich and on
00:13:06
their own um I think these stack up very
00:13:10
well with one another and in my opinion
00:13:13
were far in a far and above better than
00:13:15
the other two I tried and you know I'm
00:13:17
sure they're not as good as some of the
00:13:18
other fancy peanut butters out there but
00:13:20
for today's video you know GIF did what
00:13:23
it needed to do and Planters was most
00:13:27
definitely a step above the craft peanut
00:13:30
butter for Canadians there's no doubt
00:13:31
about that so that's all I got I'm all
00:13:35
peanut buttered out for now so until
00:13:37
next time we'll see you
