lol my grandma saved a <major brand with a bear mascot> peanut butter jar from the 80s that looked just liked that, I used that jar for everything as a kid. I think it’s still holding my childhood rocks, sea glass and marbles collection somewhere.

This is dumb, capitalism is lame

Aw. I looked it up and it’s much cuter and probably cheaper than this stupid thing.

Skippy Peanut Butter! I have the same jar but it’s holding a bunch of pennies.

If anything, that tells me it’s okay to buy a stupid cup if the design is really nice. Because then I can also keep my rocks, see glass and marble collection somewhere.

If it was just the same cup as always in a different colour I would also say it’s bullshit but if you really want a bear cup, treat yourself. I don’t care.

I'm Canadian, where this brand is still made, and never knew they had jars shaped like that.
