They should just sell peanut butter that's loadable into a caulking gun.

This guy is the textbook example of Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"

[darrenlawrence]

It's such a fundamentally flawed concept but I can't help thinking the creator's heart was in the right place. What a weird product.

[thesacredbeast]

I kinda lost my shit when it changed from a neat little gadget that will absolutely never work to peanut butter Juicero.

[jamietre]

dude literally just built a Juicero for peanut butter..

[generalgk]

This is the epitome of a worthless kickstarter gadget. It solves a problem that doesn’t exist and makes a very simple task needlessly complicated.

If you search for high viscosity food grade pumps, well they are not some dinky plastic stuff that our dude attempted to make, those things need power, sometimes the food needs to be in a specific barrel for it to go out. Also peanut butter is non-newtonian fluid, so it's dynamics change with different pressures. For these types of food even more powerful pumps are needed, sometimes screw type ones like used in pumping concrete up the building :)

I have to fight my freaking soap pump to get those last few drops out, I’m only imagining how bad freaking PEANUT BUTTER would be!!!

[StephenHamrick]

I really feel like this was less a scam and just a failure of engineering. The guy seems really dedicated to making the thing work.

[Morbos]

This is one of the most fascinating examples of someone who has what seems like a good idea on first pass just get totally obsessed. Most people would soon realize it is impractical and unnecessary and give up. But he is so fixated on making this work that he has to actively deny reality to greater and greater degrees to keep his dream alive.

Wasnt expecting an Ashens voiceover cameo, I appreciate it.

[Dystopikachu]

1950's expectation of the year 2000: Flying cars, nuclear energy at home, cities on Mars.
Actual year 2024: A man invents a mechanical peanut butter pump, but is unable to manufacture and deliver it despite many years and hundreds of thousands of dollars invested.

[WolfDB]

Once you started doing the whole "Peanut Butter Transfer" process, all I could think was "At this point, just grab a kitchen knife and spread the Peanut Butter the normal way like the rest of us"

[silmarian]

I actually feel kinda bad for this guy. Full props to him for not just washing his hands of it and walking away, and for admitting his mistakes on national TV.

[MaxxJagX]

"Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should "
I think this sums it up nicely.

[mikethetowns]

If he teamed up with the Wonderspray crew they could make the Peanutbuttshower

[miltondelacruz]

I like that you have to do literal witchcraft to get the peanut butter pouch to work. If you told me this was a gen z pagan ritual; I’d believe you.

[HardDriveGuruOfficial]

Bless this guy's heart. I think he's an honest, well-intentioned man who got in over his head with a design that was doomed to fail from the moment the concept was conceived, and I absolutely admire his commitment. Hopefully he finds a way to make this, or some other venture, succeed someday!

[pauleckert]

You made my Alexa start a timer for that stupid demonstration. 😂

[NanoElite]

The AI Wonka nonsense towel is pretty great.
