I think I'm overpaying for peanut butter

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 67 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So you're going to die this year? Because peanut butter has a way shorter expiration date than he seems you think. Though if you eat that much peanut butter in a year, so do y'all.

That hing on their hands... It doesn't look like a spoon.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that word in your comment, doesn't look like a thing.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

"Thank you, Hing!"

[–] smee@poeng.link 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Would old peanut butter kill ya? Perhaps that's what they mean by "a lifetime supply"?

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If your taste buds are working, it'd be pretty difficult to eat enough rancid oil to kill yourself.

I have to imagine this peanut butter was intended to feed animals, probably for hunting.

So it isn't even particularly sweet and processed at a lower standard than the stuff the husband was used to. But what do I know, maybe he always intended to bait hogs with it.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Added sugar to peanut butter is an affront to the mighty peanut. Just grind that shit pure and smack it in your mouth like nature intended.

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Damn straight. Peanut butter is the best tasting food in existence and adding sugar to it is wildly insulting.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

probably for hunting.

Who needs a machine gun? For hunting.

Who needs $600 worth of peanut butter? For hunting.

Take my peanut butter away?

From my warm sticky hands!

[–] smee@poeng.link 4 points 1 month ago

Am I weird for wanting a machinegun that shoots hogs at peanut butter?

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

it's on /r/AmIOverreacting, i think it's safe to assume the story is false

It's only a 2 month supply

My answer depends heavily on whether it’s chunky or creamy

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

finally, someone asking the right questions

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably 2/3 of the way to racid already, smh

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Racid? Do you mean rancid?

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

He meant racist.

[–] Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 month ago

This is probably like... number one on the "my partner might be a doomsday prepper" checklist.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's not nearly enough for a lifetime

[–] smee@poeng.link 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A single jar is more than enough for a lifetime.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Especially, if you're allergic.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

If you ate all of it at once it would definitely last a lifetime. Especially if you have a peanut allergy!

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Then you find out rancid PBJs are 50% off this week.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like that guy who bought 40 pounds of parmesan for 10 bucks.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

Can you imagine how buff the Olive Garden server's arms would get?

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

That gonna go rancid before the first barrel is emptied.

[–] Rodneyck@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Is this some 'The Price Is Right' reveal? As a prepper, I bid $10,001!

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Can those containers hold hundreds of pounds of... anything?

Yes, that's why they use them.

[–] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Those particular drums are usually used for solids, but with a plastic liner inside they can be used for viscous liquids as well. I wouldn't fill one with a low viscosity liquid, you'd want a plastic or metal drum for that.

Those drums in the picture are really badly filled as well, I'd have rejected them if they'd turned up to the warehouse looking like that back when I was doing QA.

What a deal

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

"What's for dinner?"

"Peanut Butter."

"Of course."

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So potentially I can have a PB bath for around 100$? Neat

Now do it with other food like milk.

[–] smee@poeng.link 4 points 1 month ago

"Honey, I bought a cow!"

Yeah, perfect.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Going to be honest. I was looking into sources of bulk organic goods and saw that Eden Foods sells 55 gallon barrels of soy sauce for roughly $3,000. Far beyond justifying for any pay I've ever had, but for how much soy sauce I go through it is tempting that it's there.

But then again I opted not to buy anything from that company because the founder is very openly Catholic, and I don't know what their political leanings are. I'd rather not accidentally support another Hobby Lobby if I can avoid it.
