Better Peanut Butter Jar | |||||||||||||||||
Who says that peanut butter jars have to be shaped the way they are? Who says you have to get your hand or your knife sticky with peanut butter when trying to get some from the bottom third of the jar? I suggest a jar that is more shallow, less cylindrical, and larger length-wise. Maybe a couple inches deep, in a rectangle form (with rounded corners to prevent PB getting trapped in the corners).

Perhaps peanut butter could be better dispensed in squeeze tubes like tooth paste and get rid of the jars altogether.
The same principle would apply to many other jars too, like jelly, mayo, pickles, etc. They would take up more shelf space, but they could stack easily to compensate.
The main problem with a rectangular jar is that they have round covers that screw tight and that makes getting at the corners a problem.
Some ice cream containers are oval shaped with a snap on lid. Should work for PB too.
hyenuf, ice cream containers don't have to seal air-tight, since they're frozen. Peanut butter isn't refrigerated and people expect it to last years. I don't think you could make a hermetic seal with a snap-fit. You could use foil under the lid on the original seal and figure that once it's broken, the user only has a limited amount of time to eat the peanut butter, but I don't know what the life span of pb is when exposed to air.
Just like normal butter would be fine
