The Platypus That Solves My Peanut Butter Problem

I once tried to eat an entire jar of almond butter in a moving van on the way to a contest in Reno. The spoon hit the bottom and my thumb got sticky.

It was a dark day for my upholstery. That is why I am currently obsessed with this weird little rubber platypus called the Splatypus.

It looks like a cartoon and acts like a precision instrument. It is designed to hug the curves of a jar perfectly.

When you scrape the glass it makes this subtle, rhythmic squeak that is oddly satisfying. It is definitely not life changing because your life remains exactly the same, but your snack game improves by a solid twenty percent.

It is dishwasher safe, flexible enough to survive being jammed into a cramped glove box, and durable enough to handle a rough mountain road. If you find yourself scraping the sides of a jar with your fingernails like some sort of pantry gremlin, just get this thing.

It is cheap, it is rubbery, and it does exactly what it promises without trying to preach about wellness or vitality. Just keep it away from the dogs, because they will definitely try to steal it.
