That Last Little Bit of Peanut Butter

From Meme Generator

But seriously, why do they design jars with nooks and crannies, and even RIDGES, for peanut butter?!?!  It's one of the yummiest, stickiest, cling to the roof of your mouth (and everything it touches) substances.


Peter Pan Creamy is probably my absolute favorite peanut butter (taste-wise).  The bottom of their jar isn't too bad, but that bump around the top is impenetrable by knife.  The only good way to get that stuff out is with your fingers.  (And that's not exactly polite!)  Aldi's store brand peanut butter is my second favorite.  Their containers have ridges on the bottom.  How are you supposed to get that out?  Even succumbing to the finger method doesn't get you far with ridges.  

I'm not the only one that finds it frustrating to see a sandwhich's worth of this gooey deliciousness just beyond my grasp.  Online suggestions for getting that last bit out include various utensils (from the mundane spoon to the more specialized icing spatula), microwaving (with the warning that too long can cause the oil to separate and possibly catch on fire), to sawing the jar in half with a large knife or hacksaw.  Some people just give up entirely and let their beloved pets have at it.  (Should dogs even eat peanut butter?)



But isn't all that a little much?  This guy designed some jars that Skippy et all should check out.  They have lids on both sides, and a flat cylindrical jar.  (I don't think that a flat cylinder is geometrically possible, but you know what I'm trying to say!)  Basically, there is no place for the peanut butter to hide.  Victory will be ours!

So, all you peanut butter jar makers out there listen up!  We like your product.  We will buy more.  Even if we finish our current jars.  But we would really appreciate it if you'd stop (purposely?) frustrating us!  We know it must frustrate you too.  

These are the six pound jars available from Sam's.
Forget the ridges, can a knife even reach the bottom?
