Choosy mom chose Maxwell House, got 'Jiffed'
<snip>

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- One choosy mom didn't choose Jif.

When Mary Rickard opened a can labeled Maxwell House coffee Tuesday, the container was full of creamy peanut butter instead of coffee granules. Her son then examined the 34.5-ounce coffee container and found a 4-pound Jif jar wedged inside the otherwise empty coffee can.

"I tasted it to make sure, and I said `Yep, that's Jif peanut butter," Rickard said.

Officials of both Jif and Kraft Foods, which owns the Maxwell House brand, are investigating the mix-up.

"This is very unusual, and we don't know at this point what happened," said Kraft spokesman Abbe Serphos. "Nothing like this has ever happened before, certainly in regards to peanut butter."
