Taste comes in ranges. I don't get the point of sugaring peanut butter
and will buy the unsugared brands when I do the shopping but it it's Jif
or Skippy on the shelf it'll only double how long the jar lasts.

Then again I don't get adding sugar to meat either. But I rarely bother
making my own sugar free BBQ sauce. It's better but the ingredients are
a ton more expensive because mine is all spice in a paste. Clearly
sugar on meat works for a lot of people and I won't leave a BBQ place
because they don't have a sugar free sauce. I'll just use less of it.

Same pattern as with the Jif or Skippy on the shelf at home. So I smile
and return your shrug. Variety is the spice of life. Recent discovery
a place near us has curry chocolate balls. No clue how they make them.
Awesome squared.
