    For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.

      I was thinking this is either some shitty store unpackaging and repackaging peanut butter, or it’s made locally.

      In this timeline you just never know.

    $12 for 336g of peanut butter is robbery. Alaska prices or something? $36.45 per kg unit price!

    You can pick up a 40 of Jif at Target for $6 and that’s 1134g. Almost 7x the value, and it’s the good shit.

      Yeah, but JIF is like… sugar and palm kernel oil garbage. It’s a peanut butter product, not peanut butter.

      Peanut butter should have one or two ingredients, max. Peanuts, and maybe salt.

      If it’s in the Caribbean like another commenter mentioned, it may not be USD. XCD to USD is $2.70 to $1.

      Assuming this was taken in America, no way those are grams.

      Edit: I zoomed in and maybe it is? Does look like kgs.

      Weird all around.

    Perfect for deep frying! You will not regret eating this much deep-fried peanut butter.
