True or false: George Washington Carver is credited with inventing peanut butter.

True that GWC is credited with inventing peanut butter - but it could be argued that the Incas made peanut butter. GWC DID develop several hundred ways to use peanuts (including rubber products, insulation, and dyes) - thereby making it a far more valuable and useful crop.

@Mamapolo2016 I remember my 2nd grade teacher saying GWC invented peanut butter so Ive always believed this. Actually, many people think GWC invented PB but it's false. It was Marcellus Gilmore Edson who invented PB.
@TruthHurts Invented a recipe for peanut butter. There’s evidence it existed in some form for a very long time.
Absolutely true. I've heard him being "credited" with the invention plenty of times. I've also heard that its not true.
@MistyCee Marcellus Gilmore Edson got his patent 12 yrs before Carver started working with peanuts.
