Adventures in Aisle 4...

Peanut butter comes in a squeeze tube now. Are we so lazy that we can't even spread peanut butter manually? The next step, I'm sure, is to use the highly secretive technique they use to put the stripes in Aqua-Fresh to incorporate peanut butter and jelly into a single squeeze tube.

There's more. The Otter Pop principle (some may know them as the Fla-vor-ice) has invaded the Skippy jar. First it was portable yogurt (as Ellen Degeneres observed, "Did we really have a yogurt portability problem?"), now peanut butter has gone to the single-serve tube. Have we become such hygiene freaks that we can't even eat straight out of the jar with a spoon and put the remaining half jar back into communal use?

By the way, click here to find out more about Otter Pops for your dog. Yep. You read that right. Otter Pops for your dog. It's at the bottom of the page.
