Tom Biscardi using Peanut Butter as Skunk Ape Bait
The time to buy peanut butter is now, friends. The Wall Street Journal reports that prices for Jif, Peter Pan, and other peanut butter jars will be going up as much as 40% starting in a couple of weeks.
In just one year, the wholesale price of peanuts has skyrocketed from $450 a ton to $1,150 a ton, thanks to Mother Nature and human folly. As a result:
Wholesale prices for big-selling Jif are going up 30% starting in November, while Peter Pan will raise prices as much as 24% in a couple weeks...Skippy [prices] are 30% to 35% higher than a year ago. Kraft Foods Inc., which launched Planters peanut butter in June, is raising prices 40% on Oct. 31What does Bigfoot like to eat? According to Bigfoot researchers, the hairy creatures love Vienna sausages, corn and bananas, but their favorite snack so far has been peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
"They really like bananas and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Everywhere we left a bunch of bananas (i.e., as in 6-8 bananas all connected together at the stem), they took them (i.e., carried them away). Also, everywhere we left peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (grape jelly), they took them too," said one researcher.
Film producer Tom Biscardi is a firm believer in the power of peanut butter and he's been using it as Bigfoot bait. The video above shows Biscardi baiting his camera traps with peanut butter and anchovies.
