No, it’s not a joke.

We’re all in the office salivating at http://www.seriouseats.com/ (seriously, check out the photos and videos). Some stats from their page:

  • It takes roughly 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter.
  • Peanut butter is consumed in about 89 percent of US households.
  • The world’s largest peanut butter factory – Jif, in Lexington, Ky. – churns out 250,000 jars of the tasty treat every day.
