This has got to be one of the most ingenious, practical, yet obvious designs ever developed. **[Skforlee](http://www.skforlee.com/independent_work/easy_pb.html)**is promoting his ingenious double-ended jar for peanut butter, but the applications would not be limited to peanut butter. I feel I'm always wasting the last bit of mayonnaise as well. He should also design an unbreakable plastic version.

The PB & J Jar is designed by [Princeton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/princeton-university-art-museum) graduate and mechanical/aerospace engineer Sherwood Forlee. There you go... every now and then it takes a brilliant mind to come up with the obvious.
