I pronounce it with a hard G. I've never heard of the peanut butter or the cleaning product, though. Then again, I'm not very observant about brand names.
Jif just reminds me of this ridiculous story I once read about a mongoose. I kid you not. |

When I first replied to this thread, I had no idea it was even this huge debate. LOL See, this is why I love these forums -- I get to learn about all kinds of fun, different things.
Back on topic, I'll have to agree that if the actual creator says it is pronounced a specific way, you go with what their intentions are. After searching around on the internet, I found this article. So Jif, like the peanut butter, it is and I'm sticking to it. (Although we prefer Peter Pan Honey Roasted Peanut Butter in our house. Yes! I am quite serious. haha) ~ Em

When I saw this thread I couldn't really understand what was being asked. I ignored it, but then people kept commenting, so I decided to check it out.
I say it with that hard 'G' sound. I think I heard it had another, true pronunciation, but I had said it my way for so long that I didn't feel like I should have to change it; just as long as others know what I'm talking about. I don't think so much of the peanut butter (my family and I like Skippy ), but 'Jif' reminds me of the name Jeff, or the word 'jiffy' - as in "I'll be there in a jiffy", sometimes it's shortened to "I'll be there in a jif". So I prefer 'Gif' instead. |

I just say G-I-F. Saves people the confusion.
