If you’re a peanut butter eater, you will get this. If you are NOT a peanut butter eater, you WON’T get this so hit SHARE, move along and get ready for tomorow’s Yakkin’ With Ya Jagoff video with Pens Hall of Fame announcer, Mike Lange.
As a peanut butter eater, who is coming to the end of the peanut butter in the jar, two things happen:
1) As you scrape your knife around the bottom inside edges of the jar, most of the peanut butter forms a little mountain of peanut butter in the CENTER of the bottom. Thusly making it close to impossible to get it out. You have to smash the little mountain against the side to get some on your knife, then you go back in and scrape and make ANOTHER mountain.
2) This one’s the big one, as you are scraping the bottom of ANY peanut butter jar, you end up with your knuckles covered in peanut butter from trying to work the knife down in.
This may sound piddly but, we can put a man on the moon, we have smart stoplights that know what time of day it is, we make virtual 1st-down lines on a televised football game, we have upside down ketchup, liquid soap containers AND soap containers that make foam, plastic coffee containers that turns out are the same containers for house paint but….. the peanut butter jar hasn’t changed since it moved from glass to plastic? Hell, even BUTTER moved to a big ol’ tub!!!!! When is the last time anyone changed ANYTHING about peanut butter other than making it HORRIBLE by trying to make it Low Sodium????????
Hey Jiff, Skippy, Peter Pan, Smuckers and the rest of you, it might be time to re-think this peanut butter container thing. I’m tired of PBK’s (Peanut Butter Knuckles). Sure, the back of my hands look nice and young from all of the oil that has soaked into them every morning over the years. But I’d REALLY like to get the last of the peanut butter out of the jar without feeling like the banana on an Elvis Presley sandwich, Ya Jagoffs!

I use an iced tea spoon instead of a knife. No PB on the hand, and you can lick the spoon. 🙂
Mayo is the same way. Except the squirt bottles–which I don’t use cause I’m a Jagoff.
You poor mindless, imagination less JAGOFF> Use a SPACULA! They are found in every kitchen in the world for God sake. DAH!
I hear ya, happens to me all the time too, and yes it is very frustrating, don’t think it matters if a knife, spatula or what, it’s still gonna happen and yes it is annoying!!!
I have a thin, long handled rubber scraper that works great. It’s like a 5 handled family gradunza, but it’s white. 🙂
It should come in a package like toothpaste.
When I was fairly small — like in the early 80’s — when we used to shop at Krogers (before they all left town and moved to Ohio, apparently), my family used to buy peanut butter in big plastic buckets, around the size of a large margarine tub. I don’t know why they stopped making those! After they were empty, we recycled them — I always had crayons and other small toys stored in old peanut butter buckets…
