Happy One Year Anniversary

146.8 AM Weigh In

Choosy Mothers DON’T Choose Jif

CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: MOLASSES, FULLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (RAPESEED AND SOYBEAN), MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, SALT. I think a better slogan would be Mom’s who don’t read labels choose Jif! Sugar? Hydrogenated oils? [...]
