A Peanut Butter Eating Contest is a competitive event where participants race to consume as much peanut butter as possible within a set time limit. Contestants typically use spoons to scoop the creamy or chunky spread from jars, and the winner is determined by the amount eaten. These contests are often held at fairs, festivals, or community events, attracting both amateur and professional eaters. Safety measures, such as having water available, are important due to the thick consistency of peanut butter, which can pose a choking hazard if consumed too quickly.
