I was raised on Fluffernutters. Always seemed as common as a PB & J.
However, as I pointed out in my Y’all vs. You Guys post, it seems colloquialisms extend to food products.
When I moved out of the Northeast – specifically Massachusetts – I realized the rest of the world is currently living in a state Fluff shortage.
Dark times, indeed.
Sure, there are random sightings of Fluff outside of MA, but for the most part, the Fluffernutter is strictly a Masshole tradition.
- Fluffernutter = marshmallow Fluff and peanut-butter on bread. Toasted is always great because it melts the marshmallow and peanut-butter just a little. The perfect combo.
Don’t be fooled by “marshmallow spread.” Respect the Fluff.
Here’s a great story about the “What the Fluff Fest” from Boston.com, and a pretty sweet video highlighting the craziness that is the Fluff Fest.
Fluff sold 8 million – with an M! – pounds of sweetness last year.
I will admit the “festival” looks a bit lame. Although, Fluff did lead to an engagement, and you can’t deny the awesomeness that is Fluff.

Hat tip to my Padre for spreading the love. (You like what I did there? Spread? That’s good stuff.)
Three Pete lives on a pattern of fluffernutters and pb&j. Sweeeet! Got the reprimand from the dentist and I told her she must not have kids.
Great post!
