I fully expect a cop here might arrest you over that.

Civil Asset Forfeiture is one hell of a drug.
They would totally steal my hundreds of pounds of loose peanut butter.
But I was thinking more along the lines of how the police have no legal requirements to know the law or what doesn’t violate it.

Broadly speaking, that's true. Narrowly speaking, their job isn't to adjudicate your behavior, just to identify and report certain behaviors that might be criminal. Prosecutors are supposed to know the law and determine whether an actual violation has taken place, then press charges or drop them, accordingly.
But because going through the legal process is expensive - both in terms of time and monetary cost - any interaction with the police that results in an alleged offense sets an enormous burden on the accused. And because our legal system is heavily privatized, police bias can result in huge economic tolls put on people who "look suspicious".
This is why its so hard to get good fresh peanutbutter in America, today.
Time to civil asset forfeit DEEZ (pea)NUTS
Second person next to a second car filled with milky chocolate: But hitting me was a crime.
Is this peanut butter in little jars, big jars, bags, or just shoveled in like one giant trunk tub of creamy peanut butter?
Plastic shopping bags, untied
Oh so like how you stock up on gas when there's a shortage.
I miss azumanga
I’m sorry, but this to me is same type of humor as those rage comics
The real crime is creamy peanut butter
U like chunky normal butter?
Butter with salt crystals is crunchy butter.
If it was meant to be chunky it wouldn't be called butter
Is the phrase "butter rough" or "butter smooth"?
Hey, you can charge good money for a "butter rough".
In Dutch it's called Peanut Cheese
I'm physically sick from this term.
To me, that implies that it's been fermented/cured somehow, which just raises more questions.
Edit: Whoa.
They specifically mention the savory uses and the Dutch I've met do love their satay sauce, a savory peanut butter sauce.
I can't tell if I love this or hate it
Only cavemen eat insufficiently crushed peanut butter.
I like to imagine that it's not jars of peanut butter. Just raw peanut butter, sloshing around when it's warm.
Shhhhhh. I can only get so erect.
Now if it was crunchy peanut butter, I woulda accused the guy of being a pervert.
I got a bunch of free Coca-Cola once, and some dude at taco bell overheard me say something about "all the coke I have in my trunk". He then tried to sell me some of his coke.
Oh, that's why people go to Taco Bell
Either that or because it's a delicious treat
Does someone with a trunk full of coke really need the taco bell guy's supply anyway?
You would think that, if you’ve never used coke
Cop: You a spoon, shovel, backhoe, or “all of the above plus some” kinda person?
Whatever gets it in the hole the easiest. I prefer a douche bag and a thicc tube.
Although filling an entire trunk full of peanut butter, let’s say 500kg worth (assume a 450 litre trunk and density of 1.1 kg/l according to Google), then adding all that weight over the rear axle would affect the handling and balance of the car, potentially making it dangerous and therefore illegal to drive.
So, it’s not actually that clear cut that it wouldn’t be illegal!
Who is buying a car that can't safely transport 500kg of peanut butter at any given moment??? Come on people need that trunkbutt on the go
Sorry for being american but 450 pounds in the trunk in my mirage made it drive considerably different.
Most SUVs cannot handle the weight, let alone a car. A typical SUV will allow for 200-300 lbs in the trunk. At least according to the GVWR and with 2 passengers.
Whoever is down voting me should actually go out and check what the GVWR of their vehicle is and the curb weight + fuel and passengers. It's surprisingly low even for a full sized SUV unless you own a body on frame SUV. Sure you can exceed the GVWR but you are potentially endangering others on the road with increased braking distances and poor handling.
You should look up those values on SUVs vs. regular older cars. I can almost guarantee that many older cars allowed you to transport more than most modern SUVs.
Obviously all serious car buyers shop for sexy, maneuverable dump trucks.
That's why there are so many baby killers on the road, peanut butter!
500kg of PB is NOT an appropriate substitute for a proper baby car seat.
Sadly big pb has tried to make it seem like PB is the solution to all issues. But really, it's just for that one thing
That reminds me:
My mom's from way out in the country. The first and only time she was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving was when she had an entire butchered pig from her parents in the back of her station car making it swerve.
And that was less than 1/4 the weight of that peanut butter collection 😄
