I'pretty sure that Jiffy is a U.S. peanut butter.
Acutally, I've got this conversion page stored in my favorites. It is very necessary in a country that has officially adopted the metric system but who's inhabitants just aren't taking to specific parts of it.
You will NEVER hear anybody say their weight or height in metric. Driving distances are in kilometres, but box/space sizing is in inches and feet. Foodstuffs are discussed in both metric and imperial, as in "Hun, can you go buy me a litre of orange juice, a half-pound of butter, yogurt - the small 150ml ones - and about a pound of sliced ham."
