The World’s First PB&J Art Exhibit

In honor of National Peanut Month — seriously — Peanut Butter & Co. in New York City will host a three-day PB&J art exhibit.

The Nutropolitan Museum of Art will pop-up at Openhouse Gallery in Greenwich Village, March 4 and 5 from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M., and March 6 until 4 P.M. Not only is this a free event, but attendees will receive a complimentary jar of peanut butter. A second jar will then be donated to the Food Bank in your honor.

A Dose of Ephemera | Goober Grape

Since it unfortunately still exists, Goober Grape is technically not ephemera. But since it is a memory that has been voluntarily suppressed by most people, we’ll suspend disbelief and pretend that the lazy man’s PB & J hasn’t inexplicably survived for four decades.

Introduced by Smucker’s in 1968, Goober Grape is an evil little product that caters to those who may only own one knife, by placing peanut butter and jelly in the same jar. The result is what you might expect — a horrifying presentation of vertical beige and purple stripes, and the flavor of a big pile of suck.

And of course, there is a Facebook Fan page. Does anyone else have parents who tortured them with this?
