Peanut butter soup!
What has happened to Skippy! It is runny and oily and not much peanut taste anymore. If you put it on warm toast it melts and runs off. And you need a spoon to get it out of the jar. No knife needed anymore to spread it on bread! It's soupy. Obviously shrinkflation going on - more nasty oil and less peanuts. That didn't fly to well for Hershey and their changes to their chocolate! Now I won't buy Skippy anymore either.

Changed recipe - horrible!
The new recipe is terrible. For 40 years, Skippy has been my go-to brand for peanut butter. Unfortunately, the new recipe is oily, liquidy, yet somehow lumpy (?), and tastes nothing like it used to. They've lost a lifelong customer. Bring back the original recipe!

Product is filled with oil
I don't know what's happened to the recipe of reduced fat cream creamy Skippy….it is now oil and has chunks in it. It's gross. Wish I could get my money back. They need to go back to the old formula. Are that for 15+ years.

This is the best peanut butter I have ever had!
This product is over all great. I eat it with a spoon and sometimes on toast. There is nothing wrong with this peanut butter.

No I would not buy this again
This is not peanut butter, the taste is gone, the consistencies like a processed oil product that is not peanut butter, I read the ingredients and there is literally no peanuts in it, artificial coloring. I made peanut butter cookies and they were weird. No taste of a peanut.

Pour a cup of Skippy
I didn't grow up on skippy and it's been a few years of me switching to skippy. When I first switched I LOVED it. Been buying the 5lbs jar because it will last me a few weeks but the last three jars I've noticed they weren't as firm as it used to be. This last jar is the worst yet, I can literally pour the peanut butter out of the jar even after stirring it. Three consecutive purchases of bad product but there won't be a fourth. I'm going back to Jif

Something has changed
I was the BIGGEST Skippy fan. Only peanut butter I bought for over 30 years but something in the past few years has changed. Maybe since Covid. The peanut butter is softer. Not firm. The taste is different also. It's just not right. Plus the jars are not consistent. All are now soft but some are much more soft. Almost oil like consistency. Please go back to your original recipe. Please look into your quality control. I love the old Skippy and miss it. Have not had a great PB&J since.

What Happened!
I've been eating Skippy for literally 50 years. All I ate as a kid and still eat it as an adult. But recently they have constantly messing with the formula and it's just not the same. It's a complete mess if you try and make a sandwich! So disappointing. Was a great product for so many years. Here's to the memories and finding a new peanut butter! Sadly.

Taste is gone.
I'm 70 years old and have used Skippy for at least 40 years and the quality and taste no longer there. Obviously quality ingredients have been replaced with inferior producs and the worst of all is the wonderful peanutty taste is gone. The last straw finally broke last week when I sent a batch of my grandmother's peanutbutter cookies to my grandson in the military. He and I made them often when he was growing up and they had always been his favorite. But while saying they were good (what else would he say) he ask if I'd used a different recipe or different peanutbutter than usual because you couldn't taste it. That made up my mind that there is now no to save money and not buy a store brand.

What happened to skippy peanut butter
I love(d) this PB. I eat it by the spoonful. On a sandwich. On ritz crackers with jelly and a big glass of milk. I bake with it. But for the longest time now its consistency is runny and oily and it disgusts me. What happened?!

I don't think I will buy Skippy again.
I make sandwiches and filled celery sticks. This is the first Skippy I have bought in years. It was very oily & had a different taste. I am 86 and have eaten a lot of peanut butter over the years. Going back to Jiff.

I haven't had skippy in 7 years btw…
I remember skippy tasting like any ordinary peanut butter, but based on what others are saying, they've changed their formula in 1994. I tried it again today and it tasted different, almost weird…and I'm kinda disappointed. Do better Skippy☹️ #JusticeForMyTastebuds

What have you done to my Skippy?
I have been using Skippy for probably over 35 years now and am unable to enjoy it anymore. Your new formula is just awful (and no, it's not the temperature, climate or store) and I will have to change brands now. The oily, slimy, runny consistency is not good at all. The flavor suffers, the consistency is not palatable, and I can't even use it for baking anymore because of the texture.
