Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 09, 2022

Food manufacturers aren’t in it to give you more food. They’re about profit. For instance punts in wine bottles. For instance large packaging around small amounts.

PS: Does it make you sad that “food manufacturers” is a thing?

Is there really such a thing as perfectly good hummus?

You need a fleissenlicher

Get some small silicone spatulas. I know them as “dog tongues” for a reason.

Skin lotion bottles. The straw connected to the pump doesn’t go to the bottom; you end up throwing a lot away.

Ol’ Jeff sure get a lot of mileage out of that first frame.

Mayo: Yes! Hummus: uh, no thank you.

Mr Gulden said that he made a good living off the mustard people ate, but he got rich from what they left in the jar.

He’s b-a-a-a-c-k

Buy your own glass jars with straight sides and no ridges, fill them with your favorite homemade mayonnaise and hummus recipes, complain about the packaging of the ingredients.

No such thing as “perfectly good hummus.”

We have plastic scraper designed to fit the inside of a mayo jar and remove the last smears.

Has anyone else noticed that she’s actually answering one of his nothing-to-do-with-the-topic-at-hand questions?

I’m not sure what kind of container is referenced here. My hummus containers are all round plastic bowls. I can get every bit out with a spoon or my finger.Skinny-top products opened up a new opportunity for “spatulas to get every bit out of that skinny-top jar.” I own several of those.My complaint is the sealed pump-top packaging (usually for makeup and other cosmetic products) that not only disguises that the container is half-full, but also makes it nearly impossible to use all of the product.

She has an answer for him. I like that.

Why do they put ketchup in narrow-neck bottles when Newtonian fluids like that refuse to come out of them?
