What are your weird food rules? (lemmy.world)

For example:

When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?
Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

We get cream cheese by the 40 ounce tub because it's insanely cheaper and we cook with it relatively often.

My dad puts crumbs in it all the time.

How hard is it not to do that?

I'm not sure. My partner isn't as pedantic as I am, so I end up scooping his day old crumbs on to my toast the next day.

I love that you buy in bulk because you're right - it definitely is cheaper buying more if you can eat it all before it spoils. What kind of foods do you make with cream cheese? Genuinely curious. I love cream cheese but I can't finish it fast enough.
