Has the Costco peanut butter controversy been discussed?
even with normal sized or even petite hands , how are we supposed to get to the bottom 1/3 of this stupid deep jar?

Why can't they make the jar 4 inches shorter and 4 inches wider, to allow access ?

I end up washing more off of my meat hooks than what goes on the bread.



who is in the mood for an uprising ?

Just toss it to the German Shepard. She will be able to get to it.

Maybe you're using the wrong tool?

Install a new utility knife blade in your knife. Make a nice even cut. Install a new piece of plastic wrap and rubber band. Wala! Problem solved. Wink

Second option, but I use the first one.

Wooden paint stir stick.

Next?

I used to have a "peanut butter knife" that was a long, flexible stainless steel spatula, and it was great. Unfortunately, I lost it some years back and have not been able to find a replacement. (It looked kind of like a putty knife.)

Sounds like it's time to upgrade your equipment. Smile

I believe your practical side is quite right. However we sandwich people live in deeply divided times. We have yet to solve why rye bread is a half moon, ham comes in rectangles, and provolone is round.

Have you not seen the peanut butter that comes in a toothpaste tube?? Must not be in the Midwest yet. Can even squirt it into your mouth while driving or cutting the grass.

A WAG, FWIW - they can get more jars of peanut butter on the grocery store shelf that way, and grocery store shelves don't get reset/reinstalled/whateverthegrocerystoreelvesdo for height very often.

Wait WHAT??? Why wasn't I informed? That ranks right up there with safety pins, splitting the atom, and the last episode of the Jersey Shore!

Jelly made the switch years ago about time peanut butter caught up....

So your tool is not long enough?

I have the same problem with mayo (Best Foods of course) and Miracle Whip.
