There's also the family that uses mayo and only goes shopping once a month or whatever. Some of those bigger jars are something like two normal sandwiches a day for a month, which is totally possible if you're packing lunch for two kids.

Some of our preposterous containers of food are because some people decide to live unreasonably far from a grocery store, or just go shopping infrequently and buy huge amounts of food.
(This has the side effect of making them buy bigger cars to hold the groceries and family that now has to come along because it's such a long trip, and that makes it miserable so they try to do it as infrequently as possible, so they need to buy a lot of groceries to hold them over. )
