Mandela Effect: Jif or Jiffy Peanut Butter?

- While I certainly remember that choosy mothers (and later, choosy moms) choose Jif brand peanut butter, I also remember an older advertising campaign telling mothers to fix their children a snack in a jiffy with Jiffy. I remember noticing they'd changed the name from Jiffy to Jif in the late 1980s. Many years later, I learned of the Mandela Effect and found that this was another of its examples. Jif peanut butter has apparently never been sold as Jiffy and I was just remembering it wrong. Well, if I'm remembering it wrong, so is this game show from October 17, 2012, The Pyramid S01E33. The word they're trying to guess is jiffy (small unit of time), but when the player can't guess it his partner goes straight to "Peanut butter. Peanut butter, not Skippy!" Once the round is over, the player is upset he did not get the obvious clue for "Jiffy."
Star: Oscar Nunez. Player: "Rob"
You found the holy grail of Jiffy peanut butter residuals! Excellent find.there is not many remnants left of this.
2012 wow,i would expect this from a 70's or 80's show.
This was one of the earliest changes,they definitely look old enough to remember Jiffy for most of their life.
And yeah i too remember something that went like "mothers can whip up a sandwich in a Jiffy"
Andrew Baker That's a pretty old slogan. I remember it from the 70's when I was a kid
You found video evidence of a guy who remembers it wrong too 😂😂😂 “Whip things up in a Jiff” is an expression too. Skippy and Jiffy did not exist together, sorry.
@@debpfleiger803interesting because there's a commercial from the 60's that shows a jar of JIF - not JIFFY - and the slogan was "get a whiff of JIF". There are old ads; a picture of an old truck with the 50's Logo for "Jif" on it; and even empty peanut butter jars from the late 50's with the label showing "JIF" with a kangaroo next to the words.
I love how people say "It's always been Jiff. Uh no, you are wrong too. It's always been Jif... Anyway, I remember Jiffy peanut butter and think Jif looks strange and too short. We always got Jiffy. I loved that peanut butter as a child. One of the very few things we ever bought with a name brand.
If any of you "actually" bought 'Jiffy' peanut butter, you bought a knockoff/ripoff version of 'Jif'. Hope you didn't pay too much.
By the way, I have a case of delicious 'Dr. Pepsi-Coca' soda I'm looking to let go real cheap.
It has morphed I remember Jiffy and Jiff not Jif.
You remember calling it jiffy. It was always jif
No. It's Jif. That name always reminds me of the name Jeff or George. Whenever I meet a Jeff I remember because of the peanut butter. Anyway, a game show where someone calls it the wrong name is just proof that people always make mistakes
@@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514 I'm 100% convinced they are conflating Skippy and Jif into one non existent product.
it's weird because I can remember both, like I've been back and forth through time line's??? another residual is the famous Jiffy burger! that some restaurants still have on the menu!
Angel Ahumada Same
I remember too jiffy not jif
cookie chan EXACTLY
Jiffy is cornbread stupid
No I remember the commercial "choosy moms choose jif"
I thought jif was a knockoff
And it was probably called jiffy because you could make the sandwich in a jiffy.
It won't let me post the link here, but if you do a search on song lyrics that use the word "jiffy", you'll clearly see metaphors for the peanut brand in some of them.
rapper Tupac song "I get around " he said "and I'll be there in a jiffy
don't be picky just be happy with this quickie"
crazy.. with out a doubt I remember jiffy .. but I also remember choosy moms choose jif. I think it is possible to recall both because to me.. 4 seater JFK car, one moon landing, ChevErolet, MitZubishi, and just about everything else from what we consider the old time line.. but I also remember both jiffy and choosy moms choose jif
So you’re saying there were 3 peanut butters on the market simultaneously: Jiff, Jiffy, and Skippy? That’s laughable. This isn’t Mandela Effect, it’s memory.
@@DABA2024No,Jif and Jiffy are obviously versions of the same peanut butter from alternate universes.
Awesome find! Thanks so much! I was buying Jiffy on a regular basis when I lived in Van B.C. from 95 to 99. When I moved to Scotland in 2000 I searched everywhere for Jiffy but all I could find was Jif....same packaging, just called Jif instead of Jiffy?? I thought, is it a knock off? Did they change the name? It's not even as catchy! I was so perturbed, and was even hesitant to buy Jif because I was a total Jiffy addict! And I know for certain I was not getting it mixed up with Skippy, because I knew of Skippy and it was never my first choice! What has freaked me out even more since finding out about this M Effect and being told Jiffy never existed, is that I went looking for any evidence at all of it and found an advert for Jif from 1977!!! OMG! I was buying it in the mid to late 90's and you were buying it in the 80's....it changed to Jif for you in the 80's and it changed to Jif for me in 2000?? And all the adds up to as far back as 77 are for Jif??? I think time doesn't exist man, seriously.....what a friggin trip this is!
No you were not.
You never bought ‘Jiffy’ in Vancouver lol
@@floorticketyes he were too, Mr Memory Police.
I noticed that the peanut butter was "re-labeled" as Jif, but I just found out today that the internet is saying it was NEVER called Jiffy.. Yes it was. I remember even if the internet says it wasn't. Definitely the mandela effect.
I noticed a few years back too
It won't let me post the link here, but if you do a search on song lyrics that use the word "jiffy", you'll clearly see metaphors for the peanut in some of them.
I specifically remember commercials of Jif peanut butter. The little jingle was "Mom's like you choose Jif".
Looks like the guy answering is a bit confused because he's seen the new name too much,but then it looks like he is remembering back to when it was Jiffy, lol classic
it was ALWAYS jif
i don't even like peanut butter but i have a distinct memory of holding Jiffy. I could not have gotten Skippy mixed up with Jiffy because i literally just learned that Skippy is a thing. Anyways, i distinctly remember holding it because the f on the logo didn't fit into the blue color all the way and it bothered me, i also have a distinct memory of being at my Aunts house and i was too little to see into the cabinet, so instead i grabbed things out and looked at them, and sure enough i pulled out Jiffy instead of what i wanted, which was what i called at the time "Lids". I've always known it as Jiffy until today as I don't like Peanut Butter so I've never seen a different logo, not even in the stores as we never go that far down the aisle that the peanut butter is in.
This is real and scary knew it was called jiffy mainstream news need to get on this
Jiffy is the baking mix. Kif is and always wss peanut butter. I remember as a child the choosy mothers choose jif tag line. That was in the very early 70's.
Wow! Good one. I assume someone would make sure of the questions and answers for a TV quiz show.
I was 200% sure I remembered jiffy..but then I remembered that commercial in the 70's where the mom says "choosy moms choose Jif". I even remember quoting that a lot when I was a kid. Its strange though because I do remember jiffy too. So could there have been both. Jif and jiffy peanut butters?
No, there was not Jiffy and Jiff. You are conflating Jiff and Skippy. The two biggest brands.
It was Jiffy, then when they changed the name which brands do, they ran the commercial. I remember seeing it on the label and seeing the commercial and thinking oh, they changed it to be hip. Like Coca Cola became coke, Kentucky Fried Chicken is called KFC etc. I don’t think they’d make this mistake on a game show, back then they really did their research 💙🙏🏻💙
Goddamn it Oscar Nunez go back to selling paper you got it wrong!
Yea I remember Jiffy as well, I'm 43 watched a ton of TV in the 80s. I do think Jiffy existed, and my guess for effects like this, is they changed from Jiffy to jiff before the internet was prevelant, and it would be easier for a company pre internet to just scrub all or most of the history after a logo or name change.
People are confused due to Skippy peanut butter. That and Jiffy corn bread mix. It's always been Jif peanut butter
no it def was jiffy me and my brothers use to hate skippy and only liked jiffy
@@TheSupermannbatmanIt won't let me post the link here, but if you do a search on song lyrics that use the word "jiffy", you'll clearly see metaphors for the peanut brand in some of them.
Choosey mothers choose Jif. It’s always been Jif. Also, Jiffy Pop popcorn was a heavily advertised product that could add confusion for some.
I remember Jiffy peanut butter.

@elhajjmalikel6266 you tube deleted my comment. All I said was do you remember the girl with braces in the moonraker movie? And, Ed Mcmann Publisher's Clearinghouse.
Awesome find 👏 😎 👌
I post this everywhere that I can. I remember a commercial when I was a child in the early 90's that said that our favorite brand of peanut butter, "Jiffy," is now called "Jif." Does anyone else remember this? It is a very clear memory of mine...
Oscar from the Office!!
I remember it changing when I was a kid, around 82-85.
Jason Finger impossible because I grew up in the 90's and I remember jiffy peanut butter
@@TheSupermannbatman You are wrong.
I will argue with anybody any day. It has always been Jiffy.
It won't let me post the link here, but if you do a search on song lyrics that use the word "jiffy", you'll clearly see metaphors for the peanut brand in some of them.
For me I remember the old commercial using Jiff.
Choosy mothers choose Jiff.
Never Jiffy.
Yeah in your reality... Neither of us are wrong. Thats the point
I actually thought it was JIFF. Crazy huh?
Never heard of Jiffy before, and yet I don't recall any commercials for Jif. It's always been Jif, with some marketing that probably (collectively) confused you.
Nope, the company history shows it was JIF from day one. It even states why they named it JIF....
i remember choose mothers choose jif
i remember mom can whip up a sandwich in a jiffy with jiffy peanutbutter hmmm strange
what?
Nice try Oscar!
I remember Jiffy peanut butter, later calleed JIFF but, in this video they are talking about Units of Time. -- Jiffy (electronics)1/60s to 1/50sUsed to measure the time between alternating power cycles. Also a casual term for a short period of time.
I only remember Jiff
Not jiffy. The only thing that comes to mind when someone says jiffy is jiffy pop.
Je Suis Henri IT WAS JIFFY
I always thought it was Jiffy??????????? then saw jiffy in the store. Has anyone noticed the change in kitchen forks??? The teeth are much longer than they used to be. Take them out of your drawer and look at them.
Thousands of MANDELA EFFECTS now. This IS our Creator. Restaurants still make Jiffy burgers called so because Jiffy PB was an ingredient
It was Jiffy until Skippy came out. Then Jiffy was Jif so it didn't sound like Skippy.
No, all three as well as Peter Pan existed at the same time.
Jiffy is cornmeal
A JIFFY is defined as "A MOMENT." Other synonyms include very soon, soon, in a second, in a minute, or IN A MOMENT. Paul writes concerning the change, "IN A MOMENT, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and WE SHALL BE CHANGED," 1 Corinthians 15:52.
i was born 1995 and i remember jiffy as a kid
It’s SKIPPY
Lmao what?
Is it possible that people are confusing Skippy and Jiffy? I sort of remember both. What I can't figure out is the Volkswagen symbol. The dividing line is new to me. Very strange. Also strange..If I were to ask someone to get me peanut butter from the store I would say, "get Jiffy", not "get Jif".
You can't whip up a sandwich in a "skippy" , but you sure can whip up a sandwich in a "jiffy", hence the reference to the name.

Snoop Dog makes a clear distinction between the two.
To me this only PROVES 100% it's NOT EVERY BEEN "JIFFY", cause he didn't get the peanut butter example due to it WAS NOT called jiffy lmao he was nailing ALL the others what he just got stupid all of a sudden!? Great find but to prove its always ben JIF
Why didn't he say Jif?
czcams.com/video/2GCeGnH89AY/video.html
Snoop Dog makes a clear distinction between the two.
I always remembered jif. I think they got confused because of the pressure to get the word right and combined skippy and jif. Also, jiffy pop is a brand of stovetop popcorn which may have confused some people because they are both childhood classics.
I knew I wasn't crazy!..Jiffy was a competitor of Skippy Peanut Butter..yet the company says No, it was always Jif. .why deny that it was once Jiffy?
Interesting that he said Skippy
Perhaps what we remember is the peanut butter name used in movies and TV shows. They couldn't use Jif cause TM/Copyright. Same with Jiffy Burger.
OMG
I don't hold to anything that we can't prove or quantify with sound science.
Human memory is a faulty construct. Many may incorrectly remember something the same way; this does not mean they are correct.
That said, I remember JIFFY. To me, JIF looks weird as fuck, and I remember wondering about the name when I first remember seeing JIF instead of JIFFY.
Again, this is just my memory being faulty and easily manipulated with current input.
The Mandela effect is scientifically plausible, but we can't test it, and a whole bunch of us having shitty memory doesn't count as empirical evidence.
Just saying.
Then why is JIFFY the ANSWER in this TV show?
Sorry, but no. It's "JIF" and always has been. Show me a photo of an old "Jiffy" jar. There are none. Zero. The guy giving the clues thinks he remembers but he does not.
The guy giving the clues.... whaaa??? Dude did you not see in big bold capital letters the correct answer: JIFFY on the screen??? Forget what the guy said, why is JIFFY even the correct answer on the show itself??
@@bluepacman13 exactly so a show about giving precise answers got it wrong as well... fuck outta here
Yoooooo
All of you that think it was called JIFFY is because it sounds like SKIPPY! It has always been called JIF and I clearly remember the slogan on the commercials saying Choosy moms choose JIF! There are plenty of old commercials on CZcams to see for yourself! And no they're not edited! Let's get real people!
Then how do you explain this: czcams.com/video/2GCeGnH89AY/video.html
Snoop Dog makes a clear distinction between the two. And prefers Jiffy over Skippy.
So a guy in 2012 has a spotty memory, like the rest of you, and this is proof?
So I guess this ad from 1977 is just fake or something: czcams.com/video/_0TsqVKmjAw/video.html
As is this one from the same decade: czcams.com/video/6LOT78zhA5w/video.html
It was always Jif. You didn't buy Jiffy. You never bought Jiffy. I challenge ANY ONE OF YOU to come up with an advertisement (video or magazine), empty jar, or any other evidence that this isn't just another ridiculous groupthink reaffirmation of a faulty memory like the non-existent Sinbad "Shazam!" movie.
If it was called
Jiffy then where are all the vintage jars at??
It has always been Jif, but people call it Jiffy. They are mixing up Skippy and Jif.
In this example, The word was meant to be "ill be over in a jiffy" Jiffy being used as a word to describe time - its hard as hell to describe that so he paired a word that was close "JIF" used the fact that "skippy" was a peanut butter, and tried to, in the short time period + pressure, to explain he needed to describe a word describing time - by saying the other peanut butter - his partner was supposed to think of JIF, and pair JIF with what would make sense in the time scale view which = in a "JIFFY" It's funny how the guy couldnt get it... maybe it is because JIFFY peanut butter wasnt a thing so the friend was stumped... and he just didnt understand the correlation his partner was trying to create. Bottom lines... this doesnt prove anything lol... literally proves nothing............. huge logical flaws to use this for your proof that it was always JIFFY peanut butter.
No it was always been Jif, you people are mixing Jiffy Pop (pop corn) with similar name Jif (peanut butter). Plus the lettering on both are quite the same (in white & standard-not all capitalized), just to confuse some of you more with this.
People are conflating Jiff and Skippy. There DEFINITELY was not Jiffy and Skippy. That is ridiculous. You’re also conflating it with the popcorn Jiffy. One of the worst Mandela Effects ever.
rapper Tupac song "I get around " he said "and I'll be there in a jiffy
don't be picky just be happy with this quickie"
Thats Rightt!!
but jiffy does mean hurry and quick and still has nothing to do with peanut butter. tupac was using the normal definition. proof of nothing!
feenix219. Lol ikr jiffy is an actual word
