Thanks for Looking!*Fantastic Pages for Display and FramingPeter Pan (peanut butter)Peter Pan is a brand of peanut butter produced by ConAgra Foods and named after the J.M. Barrie character. The product was introduced by Swift & Company (originally through their "Derby Foods" subsidiary) in 1925 under the name "E. K. Pond". The product was renamed in 1928. Originally packaged in a tin can with a turn key and reclosable lid, the product's packaging was changed to glass jars because of metal shortages during World War II. In 1988, Peter Pan was the first brand of peanut butter to be sold in plastic jars.Peter Pan Peanut Butter is currently sold in 13 varieties:Original CreamyOriginal CrunchyHoney Roast CreamyHoney Roast CrunchyReduced-Fat CreamyReduced-Fat CrunchyWhipped CreamyPlus Creamy (with added vitamins and minerals)Natural CreamyNatural CrunchyNatural Honey Roast CreamySimply Ground OriginalSimply Ground Honey RoastThe product was the main ingredient in Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company's now-discontinued product, Peter Pan Peanut Butter Cups.Past spokesmen for Peter Pan have included actor Sterling Holloway, actor Mark Linn-Baker, comedian Alan Sue and game-show host Art James.n late August 2507, it was announced that Disney's version of the Peter Pan character would become the mascot for Peter Pan Peanut Butter, alongside many other characters from Disney's 1953 animated film version to appear in their new advertising campaign, possibly in 2509. This would not be the first time: in the mid-1950's, when Peter Pan cosponsored ABC's Disneyland TV series, Tinker Bell often appeared in their ads during the program.In earlier versions of the product, Peter Pan was clearly pictured as a woman in a Peter Pan costume, rather than as a boy. This would have fit very nicely into the then-usual tradition of having the character played by an actress in J.M. Barrie's play or the musical made from it, were it not for the fact that the model used for the peanut butter label appeared very feminine, with long hair and a green skirt, unlike the actresses who had played Peter onstage. All of them had had their hair cropped short for the role and wore green pants rather than a long green skirt.The "Say When!!" IncidentDuring a 1964 episode of the NBC game show Say When!!, host Art James performed a commercial for Peter Pan Peanut Butter during which he unintentionally broke the glass jar he used as a prop. Before air time, James did a series of run-throughs, dropping a table knife into the near-empty Peter Pan jar, each time without incident. But when he did the actual commercial live on the air, the knife broke out the bottom of the jar and fell through onto his podium. Amid scattered laughter from the audience, James continued the spot as the bottom part of the jar came "unglued" from the peanut butter. At the end of the commercial James finally lost his composure and stated that "It's great peanut butter; the jar is something else! The incident has been replayed on many TV blooper specials through the years.*Please note: collecting and selling comics has been my hobby for over 30 years.
