Peanut Butter Jars

[fandandy 3,311]

Why is peanut butter packaged this way?  It's impossible to eat all of the peanut butter based on the shape of the jar and when it's less than half-full you end up getting it all over your knuckles trying to get any out.  Why don't they put it in a different shaped, more user-friendly container?

[TBayXXXVII 2,113]

Agreed.  The container should be square/rectangular.

Should be a tube like toothpaste

Also worth thing to wash for recycling

I bought a spoon with an extra long handle just to get the peanut butter out of the peanut butter jar. When it gets down to the bottom I usually cut the jar in half and lick the rest out.

Whats more of an impact on the environment? Wasting water on washing a peanut butter jar, throwing it in a landfill?

Don't buy the big jars.

Yes x 10. And butter knives work without the struggle.

I saw a news feature a good while ago where some kid invented a pb jar with a removable bottom for this reason.

This is an issue?

 

Our peanutbutter jars are empty when thrown in the trash and no issue ever.  I wonder how many geeks make it through life.

I saw think Johnny Carson, possibly Jay Leno.

The jar had two screw off lids instead of one. (one on top, one on bottom).  This was a lonnnnnnng focking time ago.  20-30 years ago.  I'm pretty sure on Carson, and it was a "kid invention" segment.

At the time, I thought "Bammmmm....that's gonna be a thing"
