1) Skippy peanut butter is made at a plant in the Little Rock Port industrial park. 90 million jars a year. Also: some 3,000 acres of peanuts are grown in Arkansas, according to a Farm Bureau video.
2) A lof of Europeans think peanut butter is weird and won’t eat it. But they are mad crazy about Nutella.
Also on the potential EU hit list: Cranberries, bourbon, Harley-Davidson motorcycles and Levi’s jeans.
