Grrr! Portion control through poor bottle design

Play with your food. You will get more in touch with what you really like and really hate to eat.

For breakfast today I ate a half a bagel with peanut butter. This peanut butter, however, comes from The Netherlands and isn’t very sweet. Not as sweet as my local Barney’s Best, and miles away from a sugar bomb like Jif, my favorite.

So I decided to add some honey. That’s the best sweetner that brings most any peanut butter up to “American” standards of sweetness.

I managed to get good portion control because of the boney’s packaging. The silly thing has a nipple, for goodness’ sake. I turned it upside down, like in the picture, and squeezed and squeezed, but hardly a drop came out. Finally I collapsed, exhausted, accepting that my bagel would only be medium sweet today.

It was still tasty though. Yum!
