Monday’s “Going Nuts for Peanut Butter,” hosted by Residence Life Association, gave students a rare opportunity to experience food in a new way.

Blindfolded tastings are normally reserved for product research and for contestants on shows like “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Top Chef.”

Despite peanut butter’s staple status in the average American’s diet, the food can take on a great variety of different qualities and textures depending on what “mystery item” it is smeared all over.
