Please consider immediately upon return from the grocery store opening
any new jar of peanut butter purchased on the trip and consuming at
least one teaspoon of the delicacy. This practice ensures that the
rest of the jar is fair game the next time you have left-overs!!!!!
You will be rewarded for your forethought and planning!!

totally irrelevant to driving; you should ignore them completely.
