Was having a piece of toast with cinnamon spread for breakfast. Tasty. Then having used up all the cinnamon spread I attempted to wash the container. It went through the dishwasher twice but the stuff just refused to disengage from the plastic.

This got me wondering what the heck is this made out of? Seemed to be some oil based product by the ingredients list on the side of the package.  Should wash off easily I thought. So I took it in hand and with the hottest water possible tried to get it clean. Not much luck.

Then I took a powdered cleanser with bleach to it and a dish brush. This also was to no avail. So I went with a big squirt of the grease removing dish soap. Some luck. It began to loosen from the plastic and…ick…stick to the dish brush and the bottom of the sink.  It took about a gallon of hot water and 20 minutes to get it to finally dissolve.

So my conjecture is that this stuff is made from some kind of silicone based life form that has been discovered by astronauts and is being produced on the international space station for human consumption. Ohhh shades of Soylent Green.

I’ll stay with peanut butter from now on.
