Possible edit to Trivia section[edit]

The reference to the FDA allowing up to 2 rodent hairs per 100g of peanut butter is contradicted by the FDA's own website: http://www.fda.gov/ora/compliance_ref/cpg/cpgfod/cpg570-300.html. The citation link that is there is broken and the website it leads to is not cited and is amateurish.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎12.240.19.202 (talk) 06:56, 29 January 2007

I cannot edit the Peanut Butter page, but I found a source for the "citation needed." The article reads: In Afrikaans, grondboontjiebotter (peanut butter) is also colloquially called katjiebotter (kitten butter); it is undetermined if Black Cat is the basis for this name.[citation needed]

This is the source: https://books.google.com/books?id=V_O1EAAAQBAJ&pg=PT249&lpg=PT249&dq=katjiebotter&source=bl&ots=c_q3Lyt0ad&sig=ACfU3U0Pux8qYuZN1jPUNktls55rVkGSJQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiE5c6Mqb2DAxVjhIkEHZ9DCK0Q6AF6BAguEAM#v=onepage&q=katjiebotter&f=false

Thank you. Stellanati (talk) 19:30, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Thank you for taking the time to search for a citation, Stellanati. However, the source in question appears to be part-something part-autobiography which I don't think is reliable enough to support the citation in question. The author even alludes that they may be wrong, writing "is commonly referred to as katjiebotter (kitten butter)-maybe because of the Black Cat thing" (emphasis mine).

Please feel free to re-open this request or make a new one if you can find another source. —Sirdog (talk) 06:34, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Physical characteristics[edit]

This section is fully half the entire article. It's a lot of obscure information with regard to peanut butter. I suggest that this be moved to its own page, it's interesting nonetheless, but logically excessive here. Drsruli (talk) 06:49, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drsruli I agree, the Rheology of peanut butter might be a viable article, but is excessive detail here, except perhaps for a brief summary. (Pinging Hhchen101 as the editor who added most of that information. If you are still active please participate in this discussion.) Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:27, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to chime in here to share that this was written as part of an assignment for a soft matter physics class (of which I am the instructor).

I think making a separate article probably makes the most sense, and I apologize if this assignment as made extra work for any of you! 128.197.29.255 (talk) 16:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Split completed. Please check Rheology of peanut butter for any errors or ommissions. Please improve the categories. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 22:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Used during arctic/antarctic expeditions[edit]

Because it is high in calories, does not spoil, and may be squeezed from a tube enabling feeding without the need to stop moving. Drsruli (talk) 06:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
