Unpopular Opinion: Nutella + Peanut Butter>Peanut Butter + Jam

Understand, that chocolate and peanut products have always been a pair. It’s seen in peanut butter cups that date all the way back in 1928, and the Aztecs often added ground peanuts to their chocolate drinks. While peanut butter and jam have always been a famous pair, the jam should be swapped with nutella, a hazelnut varient of peanut butter. This leads me to my first point: nutella and peanut butter both come from some sort of nut. This means that nature has already said that they are alike, that their fates as a super pair have already been selected. Jam, often comes from fruit. I ask you: when was the last time you saw a strawberry and thought: that would taste good with peanut butter. When was the last time you saw grapes and thought: peanut butter would make that taste better? Never. The only mainstream fruits that go well with peanut butter are bananas and apples. Not the “strawberries” or “concord grape” flavors that are the most popular jams, as stated by sweetyhigh.com. But think, how many times have you seen commercials of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups? They’re just one form! How many times have you searched your Halloween bag for candy, and saw tens of hundreds of peanut butter cup products? They’re the true pair. My second point is on texture and consistency. Peanut butter, as we all hopefully know, is slightly thick, and depending on what kind of peanut butter you get, can be crunchy. This goes great on bread, as the bread won’t get soggy and will stay firm due to the thickness of the peanut butter. However, jam is more like slop, or mud. It’s a wet liquid, and thus leads to soggy bread. The texture isn’t uniform, and often times you can get chunks of fruit of globs of sticky jam. This. Isn’t. What. We. Need. We need something that can match the perfect texture of the peanut butter. What we need, is Nutella. It’s creamy. It’s thick. It won’t get your bread soggy. It’s the perfect matchup for out perfect peanut butter. Nutella and Peanut Butter are great for each other.

They’re the Perfect Match™.
