The Best Invention Since Peanut Butter



Here’s the best invention since, well, sliced bread and peanut butter: Easy PB&J Jar by Sherwood Forlee:

Peanut Butter: it’s the greatest invention ever. The only downside to it, though, is the jar that it comes in. How many times have reached the bottom of the jar only to be frustrated at not being able to get those last few bits? Well, too often for me.

The Easy PB&J Jar is a jar with two lids that allows you to access all of your peanut butter easily without having to resort to breaking open the jar. As you near the end on one side, simply flip the jar over to get the rest. The straight and smooth internal walls also ensure that no peanut butter is ever left behind a nook or cranny like existing jars.

    PB & J -

    the MOST disgusting concoction ever created, of course, by Yanks.

    Let me guess, you eat vegemite?

    But you still have to GET the PB from one jar to the other, so until my favorite braind is actually sold in this…

    But… how do you get the peanut butter in there in the first place?

  • Catherine

    First of all… PB & J, most delicious sandwich ever. :P

    Second… couldn’t you just use a spatula instead of buy extra crap to clutter up your kitchen?

    Uh, don’t you think that whatever product you kept in this jar would eventually seep into and corrode at least some of the lower “lid”? Try storing a jar of jelly upside down sometime and you’ll see where I’m coming from. It’s a great idea, but some serious kinks need to be worked out to make it feasible. These kinks are, of course, not insurmountable, possibly with the use of plastic lids.

    Peanut butter always has plastic lids. Maybe the metal is just to display the idea. A shorter wider jar would also be a good solution.

    I think the best part of this jar is not the double lid but the Smooth Sides! Peanut butter jars with ridges and odd little shapes in them are frustrating as it is next to impossible to get to those last bits of peanut butter.

    Seems like when you unscrew the bottom lid, you’d have to be careful not to push the remaining peanut butter into the empty half of the jar.

  • Ashley
    May 16th, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    all the pictures show the jar as empty. How does this solve any problem? You still buy it in the annoying packages.

  • heather
    May 16th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

    A simple concept, but highly effective. Normally I have to flip the jar and force the rest onto the lid to be able to get at it, and end up getting most of it on my hand.

  • Lore

    They should do have the jar jelly and flip it and the other half peanut butter. Genius!

  • Archbob
    May 16th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

    This is pure genius.

  • Algonkin
    May 16th, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    La La…. what are you talking about?

    Peanut Butter is the best thing on sliced bread. I can never get enough of the stuff.

    LOL! @ bean

  • Lydia
    May 16th, 2008 at 3:24 pm

    So… does it come in this container? Because transferring it myself leaves me with my original problem…

  • bean
    May 16th, 2008 at 3:55 pm

    If I may point out… there are some foodies like me who make their own concoctions, such as peanut butter, cashew butter, etc. Most mason jars have awkward angles for an average utensil. That may be what this is aimed at.

  • Rich

    Catherine:

    You are absolutely right… those rubber spatulas are perfect for peanut butter and mayonnaise and things like that… just use the right tool for the job!

    Didn’t George Washington Carver invent peanut butter?

    I’d rather my preferred peanut butter manufacturer package peanut butter in a toothpaste tube.

  • Terry
    May 16th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

    I make my own and store it in a takeaway container, I can get every bit.

  • SenorMysterioso

    Now that’s the kind of futile venture I can get behind !

  • Sofar
    May 16th, 2008 at 11:55 pm

    I will store every substance I keep in my cupboard in one of these jars. And why the Hell do Englishmen think peanut butter is so weird? I’ll bet none o’ y’all have even tried it. There are other cultures beside yours and they like to eat different things.

  • leongsoon
    May 17th, 2008 at 9:54 am

    Peanut butter should come in tubs, just like ice-cream. There, problem solved. Yes, I’m a genius and I know it :D

  • Katey
    May 17th, 2008 at 10:30 pm

    Whatever happened to the SLICES of peanut butter, wrapped like Process American Cheese slices?

  • Man or Monster
    May 19th, 2008 at 11:59 am

    This invention is useless unless peanut butter companies adopt it, and they probably won’t.

  • kid
    May 19th, 2008 at 10:43 pm

    I DEFINITELY saw a 7 year old make this thing on Figure It Out hosted by Summer Sanders like 10 years ago.

    why don’t they just package peanut butter in a squeeze tubes or like frosting?
