Oh, My Poor Peanut Butter

Encounter of online shopping gone wrong.

Here is a laughable but not so funny to me at the time peanut butter jar disaster story. It was a couple or three years ago I ordered some foodstuffs and other household goods online from a well known retailer. One of the items contained in the package was a large jar of brand name peanut butter. Everything seemed okay at first as I proceeded to put all my shopping items away. I put the peanut butter jar in the cupboard and left it at that. It wasn't till the next day I opened the cupboard door and I noticed there was peanut butter leaking all over from the bottom of the jar and onto the cupboard floor. I thought to myself, what the heck! I pulled the jar out of the cupboard and examined it closely and noticed there was a long fine split near the bottom of the jar.  It looked as though someone had taken a long sharp object and literally gutted the jar. I was not pleased. It was obvious that when the peanut butter was shipped somebody had been careless about the parcel being packed or perhaps unpacked. There was at least half of the contents of the peanut butter jar left so I put a small saucer under the jar as the leaking was fairly slow. My household was able to use some of the peanut butter that was still left in the jar. I did not think the hassle of returning an eight dollar jar of peanut butter back to the seller was worth it but I told myself I will never again order anymore peanut butter or most type of liquid products online. I can almost say that I was gouged for that poor jar of peanut butter! Moral of the story, beware when purchasing peanut butter online! This was also a case of online buyer's remorse after receiving damaged foodstuffs. It's a shame what happened to my poor peanut butter but oh well! It was only nuts, anyway.
