"What's for dinner?"

"Peanut Butter."

"Of course."

It's only a 2 month supply

[–] Panamalt@sh.itjust.works 131 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Going by the spillage, that stuff is already fuckin rancid as hell

I think I'm overpaying for peanut butter

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 56 points 1 day 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 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

"Thank you, Hing!"

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

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 1 hour ago

Besides anything killing you insufficient quantities, or if you end up being trapped ankle deep but head first in of that barrel, probably. It's been open so there's a good chance that something got in there. Botulism will kill you really good.

[–] Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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 10 points 1 day 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 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day 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 day ago

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

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

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

That gonna go rancid before the first barrel is emptied.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's not nearly enough for a lifetime

[–] smee@poeng.link 9 points 1 day ago

A single jar is more than enough for a lifetime.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day 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 day ago

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

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Racid? Do you mean rancid?

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

He meant racist.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

finally, someone asking the right questions

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he’s planning a murder/suicide involving peanut butter

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

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

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Hi Bixby, can you bathe in peanut butter?

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day 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.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

What a deal

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 day 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 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 day ago

it couldn’t hold hundreds of pounds of air… or of hydrofluoric acid

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Now do it with other food like milk.

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

"Honey, I bought a cow!"

Yeah, perfect.
