Spread ‘em
Posted by michellemoquin on June 15th, 2008
The title got ya huh?
Fooled you. We are gonna talk about nuts but that is about as far as I’m gonna go…up to you to use your creative mind if you choose. :)
I am a peanut butter nut; nothing out of the jar, thank you. I like mine freshly ground from Whole foods. However, there are a few brands that I like straight from the jar but skippy & Jif are not one of them. So when I got a little email didley from a company ‘Spread’ who specializes in nut butters mixed with all sorts of things, I just had to check them out.
If I like a product I have no problem blogging it and ‘spreading’ the word. However, the same goes for products that I feel are ripping off the general public. And this is one of them…
I went to their website and perused the different flavors. I did notice the price but what I didn’t notice was how much one got for that price. Never do they once mention how big the jars are – now I know why. These little jars and I stress the word ‘little’, some only holding 4 servings worth, a serving being 2 tablespoons, is a whopping $10.50! You do the math. For that price, they better be good for something else – a facial, or an eatable lubricant perhaps? Ha! Ha! – Okay, I lied. I took it a wee bit farther – couldn’t resist.
Ahem…Back to the nuts…Well…once again, let me tell you marketing is everything. They call themselves ‘Style Peanut Spreads’, and ‘Trend Almond Spreads’, a ‘Nouveau Comfort Food’…yeah, for the nouveau riche – the only ones who could afford it let alone even consider buying it at that price. They claim, ‘The celebs drooled over these at the 2007 Emmy awards!’ It was the ‘must have’ hollywood gift over the holidays. Oh well, in that case, I’m convinced. I must get myself some since NOW they are available to us regular folks for the first time. Blah, blah ,blah, no thank you.
Years ago I developed my own soy nut butter that my friends drooled over…they weren’t celebs but they all tried to convince me to go into business with my delicious concoctions. I had some pretty tasty little flavors too….Hmmm, did I miss my calling? Nah…I think I’ll spread my own and call it a day. Yum.
Spreadin’ yours? Have a delicious time!
Gratefully your blog host,
