Just wondering if Heather could use her magic internet powers to persuade peanut-butter packagers to make their containers short and fat so I don't have to use ugly cuss words at the end of a jar.

You mean knife-friendly, right?
The jar's been invented. We just need manufacturers to use it now!

You need a dog! They are very good end of peanut butter jars lickers.
Schmutzie, that link right there just validated the existence of this community. BOO-YAH.
I'm way too OCD to own a dog, OR lick my knuckles all friggin day.
Schmutzie, that is so freaking awesome. If only...

Using a spatula to get the last few bits is usually the way to go; it also helps if you're buying the industrial sized jars from Costo (their Kirkland Signature house brand is good) as you can really get your hand in there.
If you know anyone who has the unfortunate luck to be selling Cutco knives (my brother did this for a while and guilt-tripped me into buying $200 worth of cutlery I didn't need but now cannot live without)...they have a knife they refer to as a spreader. Serrated edge, and their little gimmick is it's the B Sharp knife...if you smack it against your countertop it makes a B sharp note...plus you never have to sharpen it. Stupid, yet effective, sales technique.
Anyhoo...all that garbling nonsense was to say that the "Always B Sharp" spreader is effing awesome for getting to the bottom of the peanuter butter jar. Or the mayo jar. Or the jelly jar. Whatever.
EEEK!!! -Schmutzie - that is the most amazing jar I have ever seen!! Love it. So how do we get into the market place, or do we have to buy and get the effing Cutco B Sharp thingy to dig out of jars they sell to us and put into your jars. AMAZING
Hey All. I live in South Africa, and all our peanut butter jars are short and fat. I thought that was a standard.... Surely it is so in the USA??
Schmutzie...you nailed it.
um, ya, freaking awesome jar!
Why can't they just put it in a tube, like toothpaste or rash cream? Then you could get extra fancy, with wide applicator tip for maximum sandwich coverage...and I say this as the mother of the world's pickiest child who would spontaneously combust if not for a reliable, non-threatening PB&J every day at lunch. Jars are the devil.
we need a petition started!
Legislation put in place!
That is one sweet sweet jar!
A rubber spatula does a pretty good job of getting the last little bit, if you don't have a dog.
I was skeptical, that jar looked too damn weird to be true...
But seeing the last few pics of it in use: I WANT ONE! No, I want TEN! Seriously. That is awesome. I am one of those people who takes on the stupid habits of their parents. 6 kids in my family growing up, so my mom always bought extra stuff to keep in the pantry. I did the same when I shopped for the family in my teens. Now I have only 2 kids of my own, but I still do the same. I have at least two or three jars of unopened peanutbutter in the pantry that I would toss to the food bank if I could find PB filled jars like that at my local stores. Right. Now.
Bring it on already!
LuckyOlive, I love that you just compared rashcream to peanut butter.
Trader Joe's sells PB in short ,fat jars!
The dollar store generally has the teeny tiny spatula whose only possible use is to get the PB at the bottom of the jar. Its probably less than an inch wide, but it does the job. I would love to see that two lidded jar though- pure genius

Or you could put it in the microwave for a couple of seconds and poor it on ice cream.
