Skippy, along with Jif and Peter Pan, is the first can of peanut butter eaten by most Americans, and its smooth and creamy texture is its most distinctive label. Skippy's market share in the U.S. is slightly inferior to Jif, but it is the absolute king in overseas markets, especially in China, which is backed by Hormel's distribution channels for many years, and is also the most common peanut butter brand found by Chinese consumers in supermarkets. At present, Skippy's two major factories in the world are one in Arkansas, USA, and the other in Weifang, China, and the Chinese market accounts for about 10% of Skippy's global sales.
 
Skippy is divided into Regular and Natural series, and the biggest difference is the type of grease used. The Regular range uses hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are also the main contributors to Skippy's silky texture, although it is not specified whether it is fully hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils contain trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids are harmful and can lead to high blood cholesterol and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The formula list says "0 for trans fatty acids", and the FDA stipulates that trans fatty acids can be labeled as zero if they do not exceed 0.5 grams per serving, so they are not high. Although the palm oil used in the Natural series does not contain trans fatty acids, saturated fatty acids account for nearly half of it, which is not low in calories.
 
Regular系列的Fuel the Fun即为中国最常见的蓝盖四季宝peanut butter，分为Creamy和Super Crunch两种质地。有食客形容Creamy的口感为“软软的雪”，用于涂抹面包十分顺滑，制作PB&J（Peanut Butter & Jelly peanut buttermarmalade三明治）时与marmalade相容性更强。每份（32g）中150mg钠含量让Fuel the Fun带有明显的咸味，好在口味的平衡度是Skippy的拿手好戏，入口时并不会感觉冲突，而是甜咸融合，美中不足的是花生本味不够突出。Super Crunch则带有颗粒，增加了咀嚼趣味，同时钠含量降低，更能尝出花生本香。两款在中国的名称为“柔滑peanut butter”和“颗粒peanut butter”，售价相差不大，170g到510g定价为10元-25元，还可选择18g花生小将，条装更方便携带，也可作为试吃装购买，定价1.5元/条。
 
The Natural series has come out on top and has won more rave reviews than Regular because it melts in the mouth, isn't too sticky, but maintains excellent malleability, and is sweeter without being greasy with the same sugar content. It is labeled as Peanut Butter Spread on the bottle, and the difference from traditional Peanut Butter is that the peanut content is less than 90%, so Skippy's Natural series is not as natural as Regular in a certain way, but fortunately, it has excellent taste and no trans fatty acids, and many consumers still buy it. At present, the Natural series has not been introduced to China, and the price of 15 ounces to 40 ounces on Meiya is about 50 yuan to 120 yuan, which is more expensive than the Regular series.
 
Skippy's Reduced Fat range of peanut butter is not good for weight loss. Compared to other peanut butters, the fat reduction reduces energy from 190 calories to 180 calories per serving, and to disguise the shriveled fat aroma, it adds more corn syrup and sugar, and the carbohydrate content is directly doubled, making the fattening even more insane. The 16-ounce model costs about 50 yuan. The recipes of other brands of fat reduction series of peanut butter are also similar, if you see the word fat loss and eat it recklessly, it will outweigh the losses. It is worth noting that the calories of each bottle of peanut butter on the market are about the same, the calories in one bite (about 15g) are about 89-90KJ, which is the same as the calories of a banana, and the saturated fat in each spoonful is about 8g, so it is recommended to take two bites a day, and excessive intake will also cause obesity.
