This picture reminds me wayyyy too much of goatse.
Nerds Love Peanut Butter.
It’s a proven fact. I’ve been conducting research on it. It’s not all people…it really truly is nerds.
Project #1: (Well this wasn’t really planned, it’s what started my whole project). @JenFriel and I were in a serious, private, in-depth conversation (for some reason) the other night at dinner over PEANUT BUTTER. Duh. Well, our very cute, blond-haired quirky, socially-awkward waitress overheard us, and jumps in with “You guys talking about peanut butter!?!? I love peanut butter. Seriously. I swear, I love it. Have you guys tried….” and with that she launched into a monologue – talking as fast as possible - about all her favorite kinds of peanut butter, almond butter, etc and where to find it, what we should try, how much she loves it, and then just as soon as she started the convo, it was like she realized how much she had divulged to us and then ran away from our table. Nerdette.
Project #2: Down in Carlsbad, sitting around a table, we start talking about Peanut Butter again. Insert another half hour, where my brother explains how he has written to Jif suggesting some marketing tips and hoping to get free peanut butter from them. Definite nerd.
Project #3: At the vet’s office the other day with my doggie, the vet could barely look me in the eye, recited monotonously my dog’s medical situation and was just blatantly very awkward. However, when I stated that I planned to use peanut butter to give my dog her pills, the vet suggested that I not do so. Insert me (whining for my dog) that we looooooooooovvveee peanut butter. All of a sudden, the vet perks up and goes off on a diatribe about how he used to not like peanut butter, but the older he gets, the more he loves it, can’t get enough, etc, etc. Literally, it was like watching an orgasm…except it was peanut butter. Solid nerd.
Project #4: At boot camp, lady from Nutrifit was handing out energy bars and while asking me which one I wanted, she started listing out what she had….chocolate, fruit, nuts, peanut butter…I immediately jumped at the peanut butter bar option. In fact, I may have excitedly screamed it. Out of an entire group of people, only one girl reacted…with “OMG, I know. Seriously. I love peanut butter. It’s a given.” And it was there in that moment that we bonded. I knew I would be friends with her! Nerd Friend.
And seriously, it’s a rule to live by, I think. Dusty and I abide by it. See BAHS Rule #4: Never like a person who doesn’t like peanut butter. You can tell a lot about a person by whether they like peanut butter or not.
God. I love it so much, I just want to wrap my arms around a jar of it and take it to bed with me.
