Instead of issuing partial refunds, he squandered the remaining cash on a ludicrous redesign that nobody asked for or wanted. Everyone told him not to, but he insisted that releasing _something_ - no matter how different from what was pitched - was vastly preferable to abandoning the project. Consequently, the backers are left with _nothing._ Not even the dog toy perk that he claimed to already have in his possession (and he's consistently ignoring questions about it, incidentally).

For these types of food even more powerful pumps are needed, sometimes screw type ones like used in pumping concrete up the building :)

Thank You, was gonna make similar comment. I worked in a Häagen-Dazs cafe in Ireland way back in 2004 so literally 20 years ago and I can confirm that you are 100% correct, this was already a thing that exists. On top of that I can also confirm that the pumps we used could work on chocolate fudge and butterscotch without heating them and the consistency was actually thicker than peanut butter. The big issue was that they were specifically patented and extremely expensive, 1 pump costing €500. From what I remember the design had 3 pipes one being the pump itself, it has a very powerful large spring mechanism on the bottom and 2 smaller but equally powerful springs on the actual pump. Essentially it worked by having the pump pushed down and the entire container simultaneously being pushed up which pushed the butterscotch out. I would say the closest thing to it would be one of those gun shaped devices that’s used in DIY and construction for grouting and tiling.

Well also when you buy Peter Pan and JIF and I think Skippy in a industrial size thing, like if you're running a restaurant, they also sell them with these big pumps on them as well, and they're pretty close to standard consistency, maybe a little thinner than regular peanut butter. At the scout camp that I used to run, we had them out at every meal. You could buy them with or without the pumps and just switch the pumps over. Kind of like buying soap with the pumps on them or without.

The thing is ... when the "industry catches up" and puts peanut butter in pouches (which some popular brands here in the US do sell in smaller snack sizes), you won't even need a pump anymore.

So to make a pump peanut butter jar work, youd need a slightly larger device that requires a plug or small battery to activate a warmer, the peanut butter jar would screw onto the device upside down so that the peanut butter once initially warmed will flow and create a seal around the new lid that houses the tube for excretion, the pump now simply actuates a squeezer that squeezes the (plastic) jar to release peanut butter as desired, preferably just a 2 bar squeezer mechanism. i hope this wouldnt encourage seperation or mold but idk. maybe add like a puncture one-way gasket to insert into the bottom of the jar too so it can reinflate well.

If you choose to not support any crowdfunding site be my guest, but I’ve supported many Kickstarters from trustworthy people that actually delivered what was promised. Yes scams can happen and sometimes a campaign isn’t even a scam, it’s just run by someone incompetent or is too ambitious to be carried out properly as you said. Backers need to do all they can to research red flags of a scam or an overly ambitious campaign. You harm small creators who need these platforms to help them bring their creation into the world without a platform like this. It would be more beneficial if we spoke, for example, about some kind of regulation that can be brought to these sites to better detect scams and have them removed before backers start giving money. Stricter regulations and education for backers on red flags are the main issues that should be dealt with.

I'm still trying to understand what is so horrific about scooping up peanut butter with a knife or spoon. Yes, I get the leftover peanut butter is annoying, but it's not like a pump wouldn't leave even more pb residue.

Jif sells Peanut butter pouches, which are nice but honestly, if you need more convenient Peanut butter, just get PB2, which is basically dehydrated peanut butter. It has less sugar and more protein, tastes great too. You just add a bit of water in a bowl and the PB2 and mix.

As childish as this sounds, peanut butter is my FAVORITE food! Whether I’m just doing a PB sandwich or mixing into a sauce or baking desserts, I LOVE peanut butter. And…just…yeah, a pump IMMEDIATELY seems like a terrible idea. Everything about this just seems way less practical than dirtying a butter knife or rubber spatula. Now if he’d tried inventing his own distinct brand of peanut butter that was specifically designed to work with a pump system then…MAYBE? I feel like even after pumping out the PB I’d still need to dirty a knife to smooth it around and at that point it just kinda defeats the whole purpose, don’t it?

If you need it dispensed that accurately, just use a frosting piping bag, or the budget version, a baggie/Ziploc with a corner snipped off. Of course, then you have to fill the bag, so you'll have to use a spoon or knife to scoop it in there in the first place, so uhh maybe just relax and make your sandwich the normal way.

One key issue here is that there are manufacturers who sell their peanut butter in a pouch, and some of them even have caps that dispense the peanut butter in a wide strip to make it easy to make sandwiches, much like that original example showed with this pump. I could just go buy a pouch of creamy Jif peanut butter for that experience.

If you dump in a boatload of hydrogenized peanut oil ( prevents separation ) to the peanut butter, you could easily pump out the goopy 'butter.

If the peanut butter is in a pouch, surely you don't even need the pump anymore... you could just squeeze it out yourself? It's the juicero thing all over again

I'm sure the peanut-butter guy thought of this, but I wonder if you could partially make it work by taking one of his early designs and adding a heater to warm the entire jar. Like most oily foods, Peanut butter tastes better hot, anyway. This would be absurd, but slightly less so than the Juicero knock-off.

Right? If you COULD pump normal peanut butter (chunky be damned apparently) that’d be heavenly. It would be rad if there was a way to generate positive pressure in the jar to help force the pb to the bottom of the jar and out the nozzle
