I don't get it

I believe that this is the first of many posts that fall into this category. I am sure that the list will grow as time goes on, but I'll start with peanut butter.

I can't figure out why the manufacturers of peanut butter (blessed be their name) would care to package their fine creation in jars that are so deep that it's impossible to get to the glorious contents at the bottom of the jar.

Has this happened to you?

I used every tool that I could find--long handled spoons, knives, a tire wrench, the kitchen mop...I'm jamming my hand into the mouth of the jar, getting peanut butter all over my knuckles, losing the bits that I succeeded into coaxing onto the spoon as I struggled in vain to get more.

I wish that I had an answer, or that I could just get over it, but some things stick in my craw (my Paw Paw used to say that), and they eat at me.

Am I dissatisfied or discontent? Hmmm, no not really. At least not because of the peanut butter. But maybe it's time to buy smaller jars of peanut butter...

bummer! I just replaced the BIG jar of PB today! ...but I think you get the same problem with the smaller jars...just in a smaller version causing the user to resort to a screwdriver rather than tire wrench.
