You’d be surprised. I live near *North* Hollywood, where there are lots of starving actors and directors. Starving + peanut butter = more affordable than you’d ever guess.

Me, too! Seriously, making a pump for runny peanut butter sauce wouldn’t have been any fun. Plus, they already exist. It’s normal, store-bought, national brand peanut butter. That’s basically the whole point. I’ll admit, it looks kind of weird to see it coming out like soft-serve ice cream, but it’s also kind of fun.

I have no interest in making a disposable product. The sliding airlock is made of silicon. I don’t blame people for being skeptical, but I’ll do my best to get it right. And it’s not for everyone... if you don’t use PB regularly, it’s not for you. But for the self-serve station at a hotel breakfast buffet, it’ll…

Well, it’s easy to clean. But yes, it does leave some in the pump. Whether that’s more or less than the accumulated amounts on the knife over the life of the jar plus the sides, I have no idea. It’ll probably depend on individual use. I’m hopeful it will reduce waste overall, but it’s really about convenience more…

I cleaned it lots of times, and very quickly realized that if it wasn’t really easy to clean, people would throw it away. Normal pumps are a serious pain-in-the-x to clean, even with easy stuff like ketchup. That’s why this has removable valves and all breaks down into straight tubes for easy cleaning.

I like it!

Jelly already comes in squeeze tubes if you want it. Peanut butter ... doesn’t work well in squeeze tubes.

It’s actually normal, store-bought national brand peanut butter. That’s sort of the whole point. Making a pump for runny peanut butter sauce wouldn’t be any fun. I wouldn’t want it on my sandwich, either.
