Today we go way back with peanut butter snacks. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Before we bust out the peanut butter snacks and get to shuffle boarding, I wanna talk about a year that was more important than any of the ones we’re about to guess. 1978. You know why that’s so important? Oh yeah, of course. That was the year that Peggy McCarthy of Topeka, Kansas won the 51st annual Scripps National Spelling Bee by correctly spelling the word deification. I always thought it was defecation. No, she would’ve gotten that wrong. No. That is important though. It’s actually because on June 1st, 1978, our good friend Link Neal was born. Oh, happy two days before your birthday. What? You shouldn’t have gotten so early with it. Yes. And today as a special birthday treat, we’ll be taking a look at the history of one of your favorite foods. Yes, please. It’s time for a shuffle in time. Peanut butter snacks edition. Links birthday edition. Welcome to the shuffle in time zone. Okay, boy and birthday boy, you’re going to taste a peanut butter snack, then shuffle your pucks to the decade you think that product first hit the market. Rhett won last time, so he’ll be shuffling first, which is a disadvantage. That’s right. Birthday boy. I can, I can bump you around. Oh no. Nutter butter. Look at what we’ve done, the nostalgia. Do you remember my house? And all the nutter butters I had. You didn’t have ’em at your house. They were only at my house. I actually couldn’t have said that. You were a nutter butter house. My dad loved nutter butter. Jim McLaughlin loved nutter butter. They were so good. I mean, you didn’t look right in that little cabinet. Stove right to the right bacon bits on the left. That was your spot above the microwave. That’s where I was. The stove. Right. Cheese wizz, nut butter. They were, they were hiding out there the whole time from you. Dang. These are a quintessential peanut butter treat. You know, Chase told me a second ago, he said, we gotta use the big cloche on this one boss. He calls me boss and he said, we gotta use the big cloche boss because it’s hard to find the small ones now. They’re only doing ’em in family size as far as he knows. I think you can get ’em on at the grocery exit. You probably could. Nutter Butters, they were around in the eighties when I had that cabinet full of them. Like we’ve always said many times on this show in this exact format that if it was in Bowies Creek, buoys Creek in the 1980s, it was somewhere else before that. So seventies is a good guess, but I’m a chess master so I know that you’re gonna bump me regardless ’cause it’s your birthday. So if I go to the sixties, you’ll bump me and you’ll block me. So I’m gonna land in the seventies to make your bumping a little bit more challenging. Whoa. Stop. He went all the way to the twenties. That’s not what I wanted to do. Yeah, I’m pretty happy with that Rhett. I think my answer is seventies, so I’m just gonna put you into that 1930 corner. Yeah, you got me. If you lose this round, it’s gonna be a bad birthday. Uhoh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That is ugly. All right. That is ugly. Now we’re gonna be, we’re gonna be looking at a measurement. If I’m, I’ve. Wow. We are equidistant from 1970. It’s gonna, its gonna require– Get ready to measure man, a measurement. It’s generally believed that the nutter butter was given its iconic design by William Turn the same man who designed the Oreo. However, Nabisco contends that quote, there’s no way to know who came up with the actual concept. While the cookies were an immediate success and ad campaign featuring a character called the Nutter Butter Man was not, it was considered crepey and scrapped after its launch in. 1969. Oh dang. It just slipped into the sixties. We don’t even need a measurement. I, here’s the– I gave it to you, man. You did, you did. Here’s the nutter butter man. Is he creepy? Oh, he is creepy. I kinda like him. You know what’s really creepy? The nutter butter TikTok. You seen that? Oh really? Yeah, but in a good way. I like it. Is it that guy? No, it’s just weird. Nutter Butters doing things. I thought anybody else seen that? Uhuh. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chase says, yeah, boss. Wouldn’t it be cool if times there was a big birthday cake for you under one of these? Not this time. Even better. This right here is one of the best cereals on the market, and the minis versions are even better. Maybe they’ll be in a later round. That would be, that would be anti-climactic. Well, they came out later. I’m really disappointed in my bump last time. I gotta. You should be. Okay. Um, these came into my brain after the two thousands. Yeah. It’s a recent addition to the cereal market, but it’s taken it by storm. Well, 2000 is the most recent thing. Again, you’re gonna bump me. So what do I care? Hmm. Actually, I’m gonna do something a little bit more strategic. I’m gonna land short of 2000, so you have to actually do something interesting to get around me, huh? Alright, keep, keep on doing the thinking. That’s nice, Rick. Oh, why did it go to the right? That’s nice. Why did it go to the right? Burbank’s not level. Uh, once again, you’ve left it completely up to me to destroy my own game. I went, I wanted to be in the way of the answer. The birthday boy can do that. Yeah. He’s demonstrated that. Um, this luxurious cereal came about in the late nineties. ’cause I remember the day came out, I was working on the farm. I, I literally was, it was the summer. I was, it was the summer that I was working on the farm. And, uh, I remember talking about these things and that had to be 95. And when you say you were working on the farm, you were building your little ant farm? My little ant farm, right. All right. I just gotta get a little bit past. His red nut. Wait, don’t you wanna bump it? It’s your birthday. It’s your birthday. Shush. Hush hush hush. Dang it. Why did it go to the right? I’ll bump you a little bit. Oh, okay. It seemed like you had a strategy and then lost itself as you were doing it. You know, I just feel bad for you because it’s not almost your birthday. Oh, okay. All right. I appreciate it. God dang it. Yeah, you probably didn’t win. This corn puff cereal based on the iconic candy cups debuted with the tagline, the Reese’s, you can eat with a spoon. While the formula was eventually changed to have separate chocolate and peanut butter flavored pieces, the original cereal only had one combo flavored puff when it hit the market In. 1994. Oh, you were on the farm. You’re right. I told you, man. 94 on the farm. But of course I’m giving you the point ’cause I’m a doofus. Thank you for that. I’ll take it. What’s this? Peanut brittle? Peanut brittle. One of the few peanut featured things that I don’t fancy. My mom would make this. Can’t get it outta my teeth. She’d make it for Christmas? Anytime. Hers was so hard, though I never told her that. It was hard and glossy. This is actually pretty crispy. It’s too sweet for me. It’s not peanutty enough. Link, it’s fitting that you’ve been giving me these rounds because you may not understand this ’cause you were an only child, but in a family where there was other people. Yeah. When it was my brother’s birthday I would get a gift as well. A small gift. My mom and dad always did that ’cause they were like, we want to tamp down any resentment or jealousy they might build during the other boy’s birthday. Okay. Just give ’em a little something. Okay. Give ’em a pack of nut butters. Yeah. I’m giving you a little, so I’m used to this because if you didn’t gimme something on your birthday, I would become resentful and hateful. But look at how pleasant you are. Um. Yeah, this is an old product. Did this come about in the depression era? I think it’s earlier than that. Times were brittle. I think it might be 1890, but I’m gonna say 1850 because I wanna, again, tempt you to bump me potentially into the right answer. It’s, it’s hard to use the restraint necessary to end it where you did. I got, I forgot about the whole right turn thing. I gotta anticipate that next time. I’m gonna use a little produce-orial deduction here. Uhoh. Because it can be so old and should be, and you’ve got 1850 and 1890 on the board. They’ve created this of the oldest years, which is it debate, because they, that’s what they do to us. Are you saying they were hoping for this moment right now? Yeah. Boss. Yeah. And see Chase is like, yes. Yes. And now that they’re getting that boy Chase is over there. Yes, yes, yes. That’s what Chase does when he is happy. Yes. Yes. Yes. Boss. Yes, boss. Yes Boss. Uh, let’s see. And then the next oldest would be 1920. I just have to get past you. Yeah. All you have to do. All I have to do, y’all, that’s all I have to do. You don’t have to hit me, just get past me. Like get right here and you win. Yeah, move your foot or leave your foot there and stop it. That’s way too hard, but. Uh, if it’s 1850, I got it. If it’s, if it’s anything else, you got it. All right. 1890, come on, Stevie. Legend has it, that peanut brittle was created by mistake when a southern woman added baking soda to her taffy instead of cream of tartar. Whoops. Though the resulting treat was both peanuty and buttery, it was actually invented a full five years before peanut butter in 18…… 90! Yes. Okay. All right. Yes. Oh, yes. I’ve given you your little happiness early, and now I’m taking the reins. Say it loud and proud. With our new always proud pin that Rhett is sporting today. You can shop this pin along with all the other new pride items on the site, and a portion of proceeds will go to Outright International. And their mission to protect the rights of L-G-B-T-Q-I-A. People everywhere support the cause at mythical.com. Get yourself a nice pin, don’t you dare. Oh, please, please, please. Don’t you please. Oh, look at that. Oh, Jif crunchy. Jif. Extra crunchy. So, Stevie. Yes? We are talking about. Not just Jif, we’re not just talking about crunchy uhhuh. We’re talking about extra crunchy. That’s right. Birthday boy. Well, that is extra crunchy, huh? I’ve grown to appreciate crunchy over the years, but I’m a creamy boy. I haven’t been paying attention to know that there’s crunchy and extra crunchy. Me neither, because I don’t go crunchy. Hmm. I’m a smooth man. I like the word crunchy. I’m a smooth man, but I appreciate that’s a good nickname. Crunch. Can I call you crunchy? Don’t call me smooth. Well, I want it to be smooth. Too late. Call me too smooth. Okay, you can be smooth. I can be too smooth. Okay. Too smooth, man. Extra crunchy, dude. So again, I was thinking that there was just crunchy. I thought they just called it extra crunchy, crunchy. And that was around in the eighties. Crunchy was, but then when did they get desperate? When did they get, because we’re in a de, we are in desperate times for many reasons, but one of the reasons that we’re in desperate times is every product is trying to reinvent itself and trying to do things to make people care about them again. Hmm. When did that start? I think it started in the two thousands. I think it started right around the time that we had the. Dot com crash and then the housing crisis. That was when they were getting extra crunchy. Need a little more crunchy in your life when you’re like, I think this is like when you’re underwater on your mortgage. This is like 2005. This is like in between the crises. That is recent, dude, as recent as you can get on this board. Oh. He has dialed in his aim, but I just don’t– Too smooth. I don’t agree with you, Smooth. Why not too smooth? I just think that Jif’s been high on the peanut butter hog for so long. It’s not desperation, it’s– But extra? It’s just having so much success. You don’t know what to do with it. When did you know about extra though? I can’t say that I did. Oh, so when you asked that question it was a pure clarification. Yeah. Hmm. So, which gave you information that you didn’t even have? That’s too smooth. Yeah, man. With a Roman numeral two. Oh, I already knew that. Yeah, two smooth. It’s a IIS guys you gotta do that. Do that. You can call me E-IS. So, I mean, I really think that this could be the seventies. Or the eighties. Wow. Really? I do wanna push you down into the corner. Okay. Don’t put baby in a corner. And I’m just, I’ve, I’ve gotta do, I’ve gotta do a good job. I gotta do a good job. Yeah. ’cause we, what we need is we need you to tie. What happens if we tie? Well, we’ll have to consult the scroll to remind ourselves. Oh, I want to consult the scroll. Okay, here we go. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. That’s what he likes. Yeah, too smooth two s. I don’t think there’s any way you couldn’t, could not have won that round. Too smooth. I think we’re gonna be consulting the scroll. Too smooth. Is that it? Yeah. Look. You list does that work? And if you fast it, it blends together and becomes the two. Too smooth. Too smooth, too smooth. Though the first version of crunchy peanut butter was created by their rivals Skippy, decades earlier, Jif launched an even crunchier version with more peanut morsels that ended up selling better than its original crunchy variety in 1976. Oh real? Okay. Boom. I nailed it. And I won, which means no, you didn’t win. You, you, we, we tied, well, we won. I won that round. Okay. You don’t get too excited. So now I won that round. So now we’re tied, consult the scroll. I believe. Just, just hold it loosely. No, it it gripp. It gripped. There you go. There you go. I gotta get it on my sweatshirt. Oh, is that it? I think it’s one of the new addendum rules, which is the small ones down here. If both players doth enter into a tie at the end of four rounds of play, each player shall grasp his own staff pusher to commence a sudden death exercise in which the puck in question shall be released simultaneously toward the end of the field of play. Whichever player gets his puck closest without thou touch it, thou end wins. You get it? I’m gonna grab these. Oh, thanks boss. Okay. Here we go. Okay, so the closest to the end. Now this is your birthday. You need to win this for, for birthdays everywhere. Yeah, I know what to do. Let’s give us a countdown. We’re going simultaneously. 3, 2, 1. Ha he touch it. No. No. Yeah, that’s about as good you do as you can be. Don’t, okay, so, so Rhett wins. He does get the peanut butter drinking helmet and Good Mythical More. Oh no. But it’s okay.
