The creation of this product is attributed to the Canadian M.G. Edson, who in 1884 received a patent for the production of peanut butter. He originally created it as nutrition for patients: it was a nutritious product that was very easily accepted by the body.

The first National Peanut Butter Lovers Day celebration took place in 1990. Over the next few years, large-scale commercial production of the product began, which quickly made it popular among Americans. Notably, there is even a club of fans that brought together enthusiasts of this product.
