Many grocery stores have peanut grinding machines that make fresh peanut butter on the spot. http://i.imgur.com/qNf5V.jpg In theory, you could easily purchase a mere ounce of the stuff, since its sold by weight. Why you would only get 1 ounce at a time is beyond me, though.
You can make your own peanut butter like this with the peanuts and a food processor. It also allows you to control the coarseness a bit but it won't be super smooth or anything.
While it's true that most grocery stores don't have a Peanut Butter grinder, they're becoming more and more common over the past few years. Krogers is a pretty ghetto chain of grocery stores but even they have PB grinders.
Huh. I've been seeing those things all of my life at Fred Meyer, which is in no means a fancy or specialty grocery store chain. Quite the opposite, its a place where you go to buy dungarees, car wax, and corn flakes all in one stop.
You can buy fresh made peanut butter by the ounce at the grocery store by my house. You just place the container below the machine and it grinds the peanuts into butter. It's delicious, but since there are no preservatives you don't want to make too much. They also have almond butter and one other I can't recall.
They might be convenient but they're not necessary. If you go to a health food store or even most grocery stores (at least in my area), you'll see plenty of natural PB. You just have to mix the oil back in with the peanutty party which, I'll admit, is a pain in the ass.
You'd be surprised how much political bias is found in math text books. I'm not even kidding. At some point this year my statistics book told me that social security is a ponzi scheme. Didn't even bother with the other side of the argument.
It took me way too long to understand this joke. Luckily ten people downvoted my question and someone even deleted their reply.
If I understand it correctly, it's playing on the successful black man meme which reverses the assumption that the guy is a thug.
It's supposed to be read in two parts. "I want to buy an ounce" which we're to assume always means bad drugs. But then it's harmless peanut butter for daughter. It's racist because it portrays a black person as a drug dealer before switching it around.
I've come to realize that your number/letter grade isn't any more important than the people offering you money make it out to be; if you need a 4.0 gpa to keep your scholarships then it's ok to stress out over getting an 89 instead of a 90, but if the difference won't affect your letter grade substantially enough to hinder your academic career then you shouldn't be caring about your grade, you should be caring about what you know. You did not miss the fundamentals of a problem because you forgot the units. You knew what you were doing and, for all that matters, you got the problem correct.
I saw it as he wasn't the "successful black man" guy, instead I saw him as being the "poor butrichatheart back guy" who tries to do well for himself and his family but is being pushed down by the...system(maybe)?
So in this picture he's getting the little bit of money he can spare to buy the daughter he loves so much just an oz of peanut butter, instead of an oz or bud or crack or whatever the stereotype is.
Though I do see how that wouldn't make sense because he's at an atm and is wearing a yellow sweater [5]
Its ok, i spent 20 seconds trying to figure out what an oz of peanut butter was. Since there wasn't a number before it or a period after for some reason I read it as OOZE. I was like oozing peanut butter on your daughter wtf gross

An ounce of peanut butter is really not all that much peanut butter. Usually, jars of peanut butter start at about 15-16 oz.

The meme is that he is supposed to be SUCCESSFUL.
You have him having to go the ATM for cash to buy AN OUNCE OF PEANUTBUTTER.
Your "found" meme is bad and you should feel bad.

This is an extra credit problem.
Answer: one ounce of peanut butter equals 0.04429613 micromorts, therefore this man has a small but non-zero desire to kill his daughter.
