The Peanut Butter Solution Blu-ray DVD Combo Release
Those who have long wanted to rewatch The Peanut Butter Solution will be pleased to discover that the 1985 movie has finally been released on DVD and Blu-ray disc. For years, the only option for watching this movie was a very dated VHS videotape. A choice which, because of rarity, had become expensive and necessitated the owning of a VCR.
For fun, here's a peek at the movie the movie trailer:
It is a French Canadian release, which explains the confusing text on the cover. However, both the blu-ray and the DVD disc have a copy of the movie in English and in French so you can buy it knowing you will be able to view it in the language you prefer. Also included in the case is a small booklet with pictures from the movie. Unfortunately, the text within that booklet is only in French.
If you have long wanted to own this movie, you can buy your copy from eBay by clicking here.

The Peanut Butter Solution recipe for baldness.
Spider-Man Grabs A Starbucks Coffee
It was therefore a hoot when I saw him grab a coffee at Starbucks. Well, I saw him on a Youtube video, of course. Still a lot of fun and imagine if the web slinger had stopped in while you were at Starbucks!
Enjoy this video from the people at Sony Pictures Entertainment who brought to us the 2017 version of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
I have yet to write my review of Spider-Man: Homecoming but rest assured that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. You will, too.
Wouldn't it be fun if Spider-Man stopped by when you were at Starbucks?

The Peanut Butter Solution Recipe for Baldness
The Peanut Butter Solution Recipe
Ingredients
1 really ripe banana
5 dead flies
1 rotten egg
3 licorice leaves
A fistful of kitty litter

3 Crosbie Crackers
9 spoons of soil
Glass of pepper's fizz
Spoonful of peanut butter
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a blender and then put them on your head, being particularly careful not to add too much peanut butter. Also be cautious of getting the mixture on the rest of your body as hair will grow wherever the mixture lands.
Unfortunately, I have no idea where I originally found this recipe many, many years ago.

The Peanut Butter Solution Movie Review (1985)
What Happens When You Misuse The Peanut Butter Solution?
Bald is beautiful...unless you are a young boy who suffers a bad fright and has all of his hair suddenly fall out. That is the story in The Peanut Butter Solution, a rare movie from 1985,
What follows the loss of his hair is both touching and humourous. It really is a serious problem when he loses his hair but he does not quite follow the recipe that he receives for curing baldness and adds too much peanut butter...bald might have been bad but once that hair started to grow...look out! What follows is a hairy mess and, as the cover says, "a hair-raising family adventure" that will make you laugh out loud.
On this page, find more information and reviews of The Peanut Butter Solution as well as sources for buying your own copy of the movie. And, just in case you want to try it out, you can find a Peanut Butter Solution (for baldness) recipe here.
The Peanut Butter Solution Story Line
"Michael is an 11-year old who investigates a supposedly haunted house that has recently burned down. What he sees scares him so badly that he faints, and on top of that, two days later all of his hair falls out. A couple of ghosts give him a magic recipe to make his hair grow back, but Michael puts too much of one of the ingredients - peanut butter - in the concoction and astonishing results occur!"

Reviews of The Peanut Butter Solution
YES! The Peanut Butter Solution Is Really a Movie! The Peanut Butter Solution was not a figment of your imagination.It is a movie that people remember vaguely and leave comments online like: I can't believe this was actually a real movie!, "I thought this movie was just a dream..." and, "Wow. It was actually real."
People have spent years trying to figure out what this weird movie was that they remember watching as a child. A movie in which a boy lost his hair and used something to grow it back. When they finally figure out that it was this movie, they feel better. One writer said, "There should be a society called The Peanut Butter Solution Viewers Anonymous... for those who saw this movie who were haunted by it and told that it doesn't exist".
Canuxploitation said, "The Peanut Butter Solution has proven it has just enough of an eccentric Dr. Seuss touch to permanently wedge itself in the memories of young viewers. Watching it again today, the film holds up generally well, despite some dated special effects."
Have you seen The Peanut Butter Solution? Are you a fan of 1980s movies? Is there a movie that you remember from the past that is haunting you?
