That was interesting.

#1 is an excellent tip

My kids are always wondering where their pipe cleaners are running off to...I will enlighten them in a few years.

We do the juice box one. It works amazingly well and keeps her from squeezing the box and squirting juice all over herself.

Pot spoon rest. Mind = blown

The upside-down peanut butter works like a charm. Except for when you use it and put it back in the fridge right side up . . .

I surprisingly do all of these already except the Tic Tac one!

Alllllll of them?

I knew #1 was going to be on the list as soon as I looked at the title of this post. I discovered that in some stupid chain email years ago (before FB and buzzfeed were big or even a thing), and I was like "my life just changed forever."

Excellent tips!

I like the foil and peanut butter ones! My almond butter jar always gets crumbly at the bottom. I already do the pot/spoon holder one. It's helpful.

I've been doing the PB one, but I found that you really need to store it upside down for about a day in the cabinet/pantry before you put it in the fridge. Otherwise the oil gets cold and doesn't redistribute properly.

because it states "refrigerate after opening"

it's super special pb. i will never go back to Jif. Never!!!

Yeah, I've tried that stupid Tic-Tac trick and it doesn't work. My mind is totally blown by the Chinese food container thing though. Now, I feel the need to order Chinese for dinner just to test it out, ha!

The portion sizes seem to be different in those pics, so I would worry it would spill and run everywhere.

Or I just have no visual spatial sense.

DD just showed me the tic tac one the other day. Still seems much easier to just shake them out. Lol

I`m going to try the juice box one on my nephew at a family party tomorrow. The pot one amazed me but now I need to go see if my pot handles actually have holes in them.

Yep - I use natural pb and it requires the fridge.
