For example:

  • When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?

  • Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

      I have no way to test this theory. If I buy to much peanut butter, I’ll have eaten to much peanut butter… Long before any suggested dates haha

        God damn right. My peanut butter has a shelf life of about 5 days. I’m happy to dispose of it into me.

      There’s a “food theory” video on the ‘tube about how long you could survive locked in a food (grocery) store. It points out that food may turn rancid but can still be “fit” to eat - I think peanut butter fell into this category. I don’t know whether the video is factually accurate but it is entertaining all the same.

        Given the research MatPat does for each video I wouldn’t be surprised.

        But hey, that’s just a theory. A FOOD theory!

          JFC. I could hear the dude’s voice as I read that comment… looked around my kitchen to see where he was.
