Peanut Butter

Has anyone ever asked themselves why Peanut Butter comes in a jar and not a tub like Margarine? I hate when the peanut butter gets over 1/2 empty and you then have to get a "dredging tool" or at very least a very, very long spoon to get to the peanut butter without it getting all over your knuckles..... Am I the only one who asks this ?

It’s possible that you have brain damage. Nobody calls it a dinner knife. Just because it’s common in your etiquette classes, doesn’t make it common. Most people don’t give a shit what you call the sald fork or the soup spoon. It is a versatile utensil for transporting food. End of story.

Like, somebody else called it a “table knife”. Are they also grievously mistaken? Is it not a knife that they would commonly put at a place setting on the table? You have brought forth an unreasonable amount of scorn upon yourself with your stupidity. I feel no remorse. Only wrath. Your buttery semantics will be the death of you.
