...And that's the big problem with Costco peanut butter.

The jars, while economical, are just too damn big. Even using your longest butter knife, when that jar runs low it's like staring down into an infinite abyss. I'm just trying to make a PBJ and you'd think I was carving a jack-o-lantern. I get back to my desk and I have peanut butter on my elbows. Come on guys, either shorten the depth or widen the mouth. The peanut butter public is begging you.

do you get natural peanut butter or jif or one of those kinds? i get almond butter from costco and wes and i were just talking about how tall they are and how it's so difficult to mix it up b/c then it gets all hard at the bottom and we don't have a long enough utensil to mix it...and that they should put PB or other nut butters in a more horizontally shaped container!

At home, I use the organic shiz and yeah, same problem. The oil spills out when you first mix it. At work, it's the ginormous Skippy.
