Its always messy work trying to get peanut butter out of the jar, especially when its all at the bottom. The solution is simple; it should come in a tube just like toothpaste and other food products. Kids would love it, wouldn't they?

Good idea. Reminds me of a radio interview I heard recently. A guy has invented individually wrapped peanut butter slices. Works like individually wrapped pre-sliced cheese. Though probably not used on the same sandwich. |

This is so simple and obviously useful I'm surprised it hasn't been done. How many dirty knives a week can I save? Have a PB&J-flavored croissant.
Of course, this would have to lead to the usual variations: ie. Goober-Grape in a tube, striped sorta like Aquafresh, perhaps with two flavors of jam.
Chunky-style might become a problem. My other concern is the viscosity-factor. PB might be too thick for tube-dispensal. |

Welcome to the 1/2bakery, by the way. The home of not-quite practical, but inventive and usually entertaining ideas. |
|
| |
Now if I could only find the toothpaste lid... |
|
| |
if you can get cheese out of a tap, I am pretty damned sure you can get peanut butter (yuk) out of a tube. hello froeset. |
|
| |
Didn't we do this before? Ach. In either case, it's a good idea. |
|
| |
[po] You can get cheese out of an aerosol can; doesn't mean it's any good, though. |
|
| |
Now all we need is a brilliant idea for getting people to squeeze the peanut butter FROM THE BOTTOM! |
|
| |
get your squeeze in a tube, might be a squeeze in my case. |

Link provided for collapsible tube stuff.
Fast food restaurants have kitchen-staff-use condiments in caulk tubes. Rather than squeezing the tube (like toothpaste) you pull the trigger. They work great. There are companies out there who specialize in packaging anything you want in these caulk tube things.
So this is quite easily bakeable. Either convince a peanut butter manufacturer to make this, or convince a tube packer to do it, or get your venture capital together and contract the work to the tube packer.
I think the caulk gun delivery method is great. Wish lots of consumer-level foods were available that way.
Chalk this up as additional proof that the range of stuff available on the commercial market is much broader (and often just plain better) than what's available on the consumer market. Alternately, look deeper into the economics and develop a business plan around some method of delivering commercial-quality products and methods to the consumer market. |

I would buy it, my children love peanut butter, and so
does my hubby. He is forever leaving the remnants of
whatever was on the knife/spoon in the jar as he scoops
the next portion. (mainly garlic flavour) which no one
appreciates. So yes, you get my vote. When is it on sale? |
|
| |
Yeah, but the caulk gun gets stuck to the roof of your mouth.... |
|
| |
bliss -- here I thought you'd take the cheap shot and comment about the visual of me performing the role of tube packer. Thanks for not stepping down to that level. |
|
| |
raven, you forgot caviar. |

Congrats to froeset, I'm not certain how many people have +7 votes on their first posting this quickly. |

Not to rain on [froeset]'s ...ahem..parade, but as well received as this idea appears to be, you do notice that the more reliable chefs in the crowd are remaining strangely silent? (I do admit to having been momentarily strangely intrigued...actually, perhaps a bit quizically repulsed...by ravenwood's blackened swordfish paste loaded into a caulk gun. The question is not so much "if" you could do it, but "why?????") So long as you limit it to "Skippy", though, I can't imagine a serious argument. Outside of a Thai restaurant it's hard to find a chef who respects the lowly peanut, anyway. |

Peanut Butter used to come in a tube from an outfit
called PB Max. It was a great product! I bought it
regularly until they stopped makin' it. — You'd think the
folks that make "hiking" food would make the stuff
though... |
|
| |
Yummy. I'm off to the kitchen. + |
|
| |
i just saw a commercial for peanut butter in a tube made bt skppy. a year after this idea was put on halfbakery |
|
| |
Peanut butter AND jelly in a tube.
Comes out in stripes like AquaFresh
toothpaste. |
|
| |
In Sweden all manner of food stuffs
come in a tube - Caviar, Cheese, Pate,
Mayo, come to mind. |
|
| |
...and don't forget remoulade. |
|
| |
Yeah, I love peanut butter. It's so good. It's no wonder why bears are alway's tring to get into those bee-hives. |
|
| |
Remember your first peanut butter and honey sandwich? It was if a wonderful secret was being shared with you. |
|
| |
I once posted the same thing, with butter. It was mauled helplessly, due to my being an extreme newbie at the time. |
|
| |
I may repost it a while after this has died down; I think it's time. |
|
| |
I once videotaped a series of focus groups
testing a 'jelly in a squeeze bottle' product.
The experience exposed the fatal flaw of
the idea: making the jam (or peanut
butter) easier to dispense would also make
it easier for young children to make a
mess. After squirting the food on the
bread, the next surface might be the table,
walls, curtains, furniture, the cat. etc. |
