    The photo shows a nonstandard, but not unheard of, way of selling peanut butter in Trinidad and Tobago.

    American here: my high school used to sell lunch milk in clear hand-sized square plastic bags. We were expected to successfully pierce only one side of the bag with a pointed straw.

    The technique was… learned. Some people took a while to master it.

    Oh man I remember those milk bags! But I had them in elementary school, they were phased out long long before I made it to HS.

    After you finished the milk, assuming you’d done so successfully (a lot of kids weren’t trusted to pierce their own), you’d inflate it and shove the straw through the other side to make a balloon on a stick!

    Thank goodness we finally get a choice. Back in my day if you wanted Trinidad, you had to have Tobago too!

    FWIW, I've seen PB sold like this at local Amish stores as well... so not necessarily anathema in the USA.

    The Amish use styrofoam and plastic packaging? That would seem to entirely miss the point..
