But I really am allergic to Justin Beiber. When he songs come on the radio I start asphyxiate and become violently ill. If I even see him I break out in a bad case of hives.

Thank you for existing, Perdix. Just thank you.

So he wouldn't actually be allergic to the peanuts, but rather other allergens that the peanuts pick up which are then removed by processing? It sucks that you have this disorder. People must call bullshit on you all the time.

yup...thats why I said "semi"... it took me years to find out what it was (after seeing an allergist). When I met my bff in college, he had the same thing and never had a clue what it was called. I admit it sucks eating canned or cooked everything...and everyone looks at me like im nuts when I tell them this...

Does not in any way apply to this - chunky and smooth peanut butter are the same, the question is only how much of a % of the peanutres are cruched making it. Basically, it's like you saying you're allergic to toast but not coutons (smaller pieces of toast) as chunky vs smooth PB is basically partially ground vs fully ground PB.

Nah...its more like I'm allergic to toast but not breadcrumbs..... Trust me it applies...I eat regular peanut butter all the time...but crunchy peanut butter rocks my socks....in the most negative way ever.

Interesting, although I do think that you're over thinking and OP's father was most likely just an idiot.

same here

How is OP the wrong one idiot?

What's wrong with chunky peanut butter?
