Wait a minute. The photos look the same, but there’s a Vanilla Peanut Butter Swirl AND a Vanilla Peanut Butter. (Spotted by Lauren and Caitlin J at Giant.)

Also, if you want to send in photos and are wondering if we’ve already covered something, don’t worry about it. Let us worry about it.
Maybe different names in different regions like Girl Scout cookies? Or old vs new packaging?or probably just marketing product line extension scamming!
Honestly I have no idea but until you mentioned it, I would have never noticed the difference and thought they were the same flavor myself! I submitted the first one (vanilla peanut butter swirl) and the Giant I visited was in Abingdon, Maryland. Not sure where the other submission is from, but I’m curious if it is regional like you suggested! We’re definitely going to need someone to find both and review them for us to get to the bottom of this *cough cough*
I found the top photo and it was in Royersford, PA. The scoops look the same so I’m figuring it is the same! I’ll take a look next time I’m there to do this important research!! 🙂
I just found both of these at Wegmans if anyone is still searching for them!
