Jif is releasing a limited-edition jar of GIF peanut butter in a collaboration meant to be as smooth as the product itself.
The purpose is to "settle the great debate" over how to pronounce the looping image format that has overtaken in the internet, J.M. Smucker Company (SJM), the brand's manufacturer, said in a press release.
Although Jif is obviously pronounced with a "soft G," people often mispronounce the word "GIF," which is short for Graphics Interchange Format. It's said with a "soft G like the peanut butter and not a "hard G." That's according to creator Steve Wilhite, who made the declaration in 2013 while accepting a Webby Award.
Regardless of the official ruling, the internet has remained divided. Jif is partnering with GIPHY, a GIF search engine, to "put a lid on this decade-long debate": Both GIF and the peanut butter are pronounced "Jif."

Otherwise, people’s poopie hands touch the wall as they are getting some TP.
And so does the next customer.
Only democrat communist put the TP under.
Nothing better than a peanut butter and Kentucky jelly sandwich!
Agreed.
Let us not forget that there IS a JIF file format, which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group Interchange Format. “Joint”... not “Goint”. Wilhite was an obnoxious spud, apparently.
Is this a Jraphic?
Except for baking ..only democrat communist eat smooth peanut butter.

Smooth Peanut Butter is OK for sandwiches you make to take to a party or picnic. For someone else to eat.
And it’s OK to put smooth Peanut Butter on celery. No real need to have crunchy Peanut Butter and crispy celery.
Yes, eating peanut butter in a Jraphic Park ....
Next time you get cut off while driving on MLK Drive....
Call the moron a Nijjer?
