Dear peanut butter...

[strickj]

Why must you be in a jar so deep yet so narrow?

You would be so much cooler in a wide jar and only finger deep.

makes as much sense as giving me 8 buns for 10 hot dogs

[Guest jackdm3]

Oh, dear Lord!

[TripleDigitRide]

Sir, drop the peanut butter and step away from the dog.

[Guest Macedawg]

[Steelharp]

Sounds like common sense to me.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Well there should be more buns than dogs;). Never gonna be equal. Strickj My wife eats the peanut butter in this house and she has always found the correct sized implement she needs to empty the jar. Then blames it on me, or the dog. Real dog, not to be confused with hot dog and bun matrix:screwy:

I'm thinking of Steve Martin in "Father of the bride."

This is what peanut butter should come in

But maybe square so it doesn't roll around in the fridge door!

Peanut butter and hot dogs in the same post ????????????

Now all we need is a little side of boiled cabbage with chocolate sauce ... and maybe a glass of butter milk to go with all that ... ...

[Guest oldsmobile98]

I sometimes eat peanut butter directly out of the jar, so I know what you are talking about, strickj. I usually try to scrape out as much as possible, but there is always a little that you can never get out of the jar without using your imagination. You can prevent this waste in a few ways:

1. Get milk, pour it in the jar, shake it up, and drink it.

2. Use a special spoon that is long and narrow.

3. Cut the peanut butter jar in half cross-sectionally. This will give you a better angle with a normal spoon.

Then you would complain (b*tch) you cant get it out of the corners!

Years ago I saw something on tv about a kid who had came up with the brilliant idea of a standard peanut butter jar that had a lid on both the top and the bottom. Periodically I wonder WHY DIDN'T THE PEANUT BUTTER COMPANIES MAKE THIS HAPPEN!?

[BrasilNuts]

I buy my peanut butter like this, 6lbs at a time.....

....amatures.

Edit: I found Strickjs.....

the narrower jar, in particular the shoulders on it help retain the oils and aroma of the peanut butter.

And in the grand scheme of things I am sure it causes more frequent purchase of the product.

A puff of dust, a screech, a squeak --

The king’s jaw opened with a creak.

And then in voice so faint and weak --

The first words that they heard him speak

Were, “How about a peanut-butter sandwich?â€

[gnmwilliams]

I wish they sold peanut butter like they do cheese in a can. That'd solve everything.

[Guest Jamie]

I use plastic spoons so I don't have to spend an hour cleaning PB off of my silverware.(yeah, I'm a lazy bachelor! )

Furthermore, you still have the problem of the raised up center of the bottom of the jar

I wish they sold peanut butter like they do cheese in a can. That'd solve everything.

Winner!

Should be the other way around. I frequently drop a hot dog on the ground, but never remember dropping a bun.

As far as the peanut butter, it should come in giant squirt tubes like toothpaste but bigger.

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

When the peanut butter jar becomes low, simply nuke it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and pour it over your favorite icecream

Works for me.

The extra hotdogs are for the real dogs, or so mine told me.

They do sell peanut butter in squeeze tubes, but whatever they do to make it thinner to make it easier to squeeze makes it taste terrible in my opinion. I like a good thick PB that tears the bread when you try to spread it.

I've never seen it. Thanks for the heads up on the bad taste.
