Maybe any food you are (force) feed since you can intake anything rather than milk with "special" flavour ends up been "special" on your life. I know that african children are feed with very strong hot food. They use pacifiers as hot that you would choke. So, as quick as I am to be horrified by such things I come to understand that may be there is a reason and yes, it saves child lives in that enviroment in Africa. The reason for that stuff of yours in US, well you know it and not it not saves any life, just keeps some pockets full, heh heh. Well is the World like it is for all now.

Later on in the 80's there were a numbr or brands, namely belgian or dutch besides Skippy. For two years I can only find Capitan Mani which I do not want to try since I have tried others and always came back to Skippy because of its taste, smoothness, quality, etc. And by the way I am Spanish but my parents raised us on Skippy sandwiches. It is my favourite treat and I am now condemmed not to eat them again!!! Sigh! I live in the Canary Islands (Spain, YES!) and since I can remember (the 70′s) whe got the Skippy peanut butter.

Estoy de acuerdo con todo lo malo que dices de ee.uu. Pero sí que estás equivocado con lo de los sandwiches (aquí por lo menos se ha robado la palabra de inglés) de crema de cacahuete. Son buenísimos. Pero bueno...a los ingleses también les gusta <a href="http://www.marmite.com/" rel="nofollow">Marmite</a> y eso es más asqueroso que nada. Así que supongo que tiene mucho que ver con dónde te has creado. No eres una oveja. Ya veo, por solo un poste, que piensas mucho más que los de más. Bueno, otra vez, gracias por visitarme aquí.

This is a correction to your post. A veces Soy Tremendo isn't anti-USA blog. I think that you don't understand the text about Captain Mani. In this post, I said that I'm not another sheep of the general anti-yankee movement. I said that there are losts of wonderful things and persons (long life to the MusicMan basses!!)(and stupid ones too, (to see to Irak, Guatemala, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, Hiroshima, etc etc)... But I don't like the "emparedados de mantequilla de cacahuete" (typical translation). I hope your spanish became better tha my english! Saludotes! Hi! This is a correction to your post.
