A day late but August 15 is the 94th birthday of Crisco shortening.
Thanks P&G.
Crisco, wasn’t he the tall one with the big hat or something in Crisco Kid

hate to break it to you, Flydood, but we don’t own Crisco anymore. It was sold to Smuckers several years ago, along with Jif.
Smuckers? It must be good shortening. I never ate Jif anyway. I guess my mom wasn’t choosey enough. I believe in peanut butter.
Makes good patch lube.
Wow, wonder what kind of fruit they use to make it?
Alright, happy birthday Crisco…
Flydood, Crisco up our buns!
Sorry we missed it! It was a small party as most of the would-be celebrants keeled over from trans-fat induced coronary artery disease years ago.
But there’s no question they had fun up until then.
You took my thoughts entirely, emm…but of course you said them so much more eloquently that I would have 
Here’s to 94 years of artery clogging fun! 
Ah, so you’da said FAT eh?
They’re not fat, they’re just jolly! 
believe it or not, I used to run the trans (and the cis) measurement on shortening and oils years ago…
Ah, yes, the wonderful days of working with carbon disulfide (that was the solvent used in the trans analysis).
Lipo-suction? 
nah - more like salt cell suction!
Yes, that was the “good old days” when we were the Food and Beverage division, instead of Snacks and Beverage. Crisco, Jif, Duncan Hines Mixes and Cookies, Pringles, Torengos, Fisher Nuts, Eagle Brand Snacks, Sunny Delight, Citrus Hill, Hawiian Punch, Folgers, Millstone, plus numerous initiatives that never got out of test market.
The current things we have are in bold. 
The name change is appropriate, if you consider half the shite we eat can hardly be considered food! 
We have Cif now in Europe, due to certain languages having a problem with saying their Js.
We have Starburst, that don’t taste as good as Opal Fruits used to.
We have Snickers, when we all understood what a Marathon bar was.
Sigh.
Was the original name of “Jif” actually “Jiffy?” My brother and I both have distinct memories of eating a peanut butter called “Jiffy”…no one else seems to remember this. Are we nuts or what? (no pun intended)

Lardy Lardy it was Jiffy not this Jif stuff, couldn’t get in Windsor, mom had to ahem bring over from Detroit quietly.

If they keep shortening the name, they’ll have “F-butter.”
“would you like ‘F’ on your sadwich today, Billy?”
“‘F’, no way mom, ‘F’ that!”
Sorry, but do those answers mean there was, indeed, a Jiffy peanut butter? If so, was it the original name of what is now Jif, or a completely different product? Anybody know? This is important, you know. My brother and I are being considered for mental health help by other family members, so this is important!

I won’t ask how old you are, susnfx, but Jif was introduced in 1958, just in time to accompany Abel the space monkey on his historic ride in 1959.
I’m not sure about the Jiffy - “our” Jif originally came from a company named “Big Top”.
