apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

oh my god. pure genius. why has no one thought of this before?

Maybe I'm missing something - but is the purpose of the jar that I would scoop everything from the jar I bought it in into this jar? Because doesn't that defeat the purpose? And I do love my peanut butter - I normally get the last bits out by sticking my finger in and treating it like a bowl of batter.

Meelo, I think it would either be a new prototype for, say, Skippy or Jiffy to use. Or it could be a reusable jar for you to take to the nut butter bar at Whole Foods or your local co-op.

holy crap that's perfect

Cool idea, but my dog would be very disappointed.

If packaging has two lids to seal, wouldn't that make it twice as likely that one of those seals might fail?

This seems like a very silly invention to me. For a few dollars you can buy a mini silicone spatula that will get out ever last bit of peanut butter. By the time I'm finished with a peanut butter jar it hardly needs washing before going into the recycling bin.

This might make mixing the peanut butter a little easier, since you would be able to go through the solid stuff at the "bottom" instead of through the layer of oil at the "top" that likes to gush out when you first try to stir.

I've been informed that for store bulk sections (including honey and nut butter "bars") that customers aren't allowed to bring their own containers or reuse containers for health reasons. Maybe this is just a Texas health code issue...

renata: mine too! :-D

Charise, I couldn't agree more. Borders on fruitless...

I don't trust the seal on the lid. I have the natural peanut butter with the oil that separates, and I just know how tricky that oil is. It has a way of escaping no matter how well I screw the lid on.
