response on high priced peanut butter


The article ''Peanut-Butter Makers Face Crunch'' is mainly about how the summer hot summer days destroyed the crops of this year’s peanut butter. Now there is less peanut butter to sale and the little that they do have to market has to make up the sales for all the peanut butter that was destroyed. The effect of this event is that the pricing of peanut butter will go up exponentially with a starting point of November. Peanut butter will advance between twenty-four percent and thirty-five percent in pricing in stores marking prices.
            This years pricing for peanut butter is way to high. It is almost ninety-four cent higher than the normal price. Enough though some peanut butter crops have been destroyed this summer I don’t think it is really necessary for the peanut butter corporation to charge higher price for peanut butter. I do understand that they want to make somewhat of a profit, but it would be an even better idea just to wait till next year and charge and extra 20 cent on all peanut butter that way the peanut butter could at least be afford able. At this rate sales on peanut butter would lessen!
