Why do they make food jars so tall with narrow openings at the top, like mayonnaise or peanut butter jars? When you get near the bottom it's impossible to get the food out with a knife. Then you have to resort to a spatula and still end up with mayo or peanut butter all over the spatula handle and your hand. I wish they made shorter, wider containers with bigger openings you could actually reach into. A more cubical shape should use less plastic too.
For that matter, why don't they make smaller containers of food products? There are a lot of items we buy like salad dressings, or other condiments that expire before we can use the entire bottle. We just don't use them that much. A little 4-6 ounce container would be more than enough for most items. There would be less waste and they shouldn't cost as much. I have occasionally seen tiny bottles of ketchup, mustard, mayo, and relish. But those are exceptions and aren't reliably available.
