Does that last bit of mayonnaise or peanut butter at the bottom of a jar really bother you? I usually hand the jar over to my dog and let her take care of it, but for some reason not everyone has a dog. That’s why some entrepreneurs have harnessed the technology behind deodorant sticks to eliminate this problem.

Advancing science.....

There was a peanut butter recall in 2012?

[mrs. a]

Yeah, they found dog saliva in the jars...

LOL

Thanks

Peanut butter is a “staple” in my pantry. I would definately buy a brand that employed the twist-up jars.

A rubber spatula works great for getting that last bit out of the jar.

Iced tea spoon works very well.

One of the great joys in a dog’s life — sticking his snout in an “empty” jar of peanut butter.

You’re lucky you didn’t die, eh?

[Phew! That was a close one!]

Do you wash the jar B4 you recycle it?

I refuse to do that. It’s so dumb. You waste hot water and soap and time.....I put it in the regular trash.

Yes, I’m going to h3ll.

Or filling a marrow bone with PB.

Man I’m jealous of the dog ;)

Set this up before I went to work. When I got home, 8 hours later, she hadn't moved an inch.

rubber spatula?

Yes, that is exactly how I get the last out of my peanut butter containers. I buy the big ones, 2 lbs plus size.

I often eat peanut butter and sliced banana sandwiches for a lite supper. Especially when I come in late from the farm and am too tired to think about cooking.

How about shorter, wider jars. Not rocket science!

“A rubber spatula works great for getting that last bit out of the jar.”

Yes; so you can call me lazy for hating to spend time doing that chore. Give me a twist-up jar and my lazy bones will cheer.

Howzbout eliminating the huge dimple on the bottom of Hellman’s mayo jar? That’s a bother, when you are trying to get the last swipe outta the jar.

GRRRR! The dimple trick. A jar of Hellmann’s mayonnaise, for example, has had its contents shrunk, yet the new jar looks as big as the old.

Or whatzup with Breyer’s ice cream it’s 2 qts now. Price stayed the same.

To find a 5# bag of sugar, I have to *hunt* to find one.
