Now, the Astaggs they sort of had a type of peanut butter about a thousand years ago. They had some kind of sort of peanut based past thing. But four different people get credit for inventing peanut butter back in the eighteen hundreds, but it was nineteen oh one. Julia Chandler, she made the first peanut butter jelly sandwich. Nineteen twenty two. Peanut butter, it really took a big step forward. They were actually able to keep the peanut oil from separating, so the jars of peanut butter they were no longer two thirds peanut butter and weren't third oil. Yep, it was all this peanut butter. Now I'm in the minority. I like my peanut butter crunchy. I know most of the over sixty percent or without half creamy. Now, both kinds I think are awesome. Though. Now peanut butter is high in fact, but you actually eat less because it fills you up more.

1:26 So this is kind of offset peanut butter. It's all American. Yep. Most Europeans thing peanut butter is gross. Let them, We'll just have more for us. All right, this is going on entertainment. On January twenty fourth, it was back to nineteen sixty four. Number one album was The Singing None by The Singing None Bobby Vinta, and had the number one song with there I've said it again.

And not a little gold, it was a lot of gold. So he went and showed the owner of the mil John Sutter. They decided they had split it and they were gonna keep it really quiet. They weren't gonna tell anybody. It was gonna be a big secret, and they didn't tell anyone, but people started to get a little suspicious. So they bought a whole bunch of stuff and bade for it all in gold. So the California gold rights began.
