Simply Jif ~ Simply Cut My Finger

Was planning to write a review about Simply Jif peanut butter. Never tried this one before. Suppose to have half the sodium and sugar as regular Jif. As much peanut butter as I eat I decided to give it a try. As I started to open the jar, the cardboard thingy on the top of the jar cut my finger like a knife. Yikes it hurt. Paper cuts seem to be the worst. But I will survive. After I got the bleeding stopped, I tried the peanut butter. I tasted nothing different. That is a good thing. I will buy this again and use scissors to open it next time.

It's ridiculous how often I hurt myself simply opening things.

We have to be so careful when opening anything these days.

I have opened hundreds of these jars, guess I did it just right today.

I agree with those who have mentioned how simple it is to injure yourself opening ordinary things. I'm pretty sure I once injured myself on a PB jar much the same as you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Jif is one of the brands I go for the most.

@CarolDM I switch between Smucker's and Jif. I've also bought Peter Pan as well.

I know, I have opened hundreds of these and it never happened. Jif is the only one I buy.

I hate paper cuts too. I am a Skippy person but Jif is okay in my book.

@CarolDM Yes its true about our likes but if I can't get Skippy I will get Jif, I think I grew up with Skippy so that is what I prefer. Its like salad dressing and mayo there are two camps.

I'm glad it doesn't taste any different. Good idea using a scissors next time. I'm sorry you cut your finger. I agree. Paper cuts are the worst.

@CarolDM With it being less sodium, hopefully it did not hurt as much

Working with mail every day, Jay often gets those darn paper cuts! He super glues it, then keeps going:) Does it still burn? Yes, they certainly do hurt

I am not good with tasting things from different brands. I once tried to check out the peanut butter from an expensive brand to others and had to admit defeat. They all tasted the same to me.

I am gonna have to remember that if I happen to buy Simply Jif. I bought some almond butter the other day as something different, maybe a tad healthier than regular PB.

Those seals are a pain. A good pain though since you know your food wasn’t tampered with. I usually stab it with a fork and then move the fork around to tear open the seal.
