I eat it by using breadsticks as the spoon. When you first dip the breadstick in, you have to be quite delicate because the thickness of the peanut butter requires you to apply a certain amount of force to the breadstick. This is applied along the whole length and there's a danger of the breadstick snapping. As the breadstick gets shorter, it gets more rigid and you can apply more force.
While I'm eating, I'm considering the viscosity of the peanut butter and mentally calculating the inertial force I can apply without shearing the breadstick. The ratio of these is the kinematic viscosity and various combinations of brands of peanut putter and breadstick give different kinematic viscosities. If I'm on a true geekfest, I work out the fluidity too from the fluidity equation which takes the inverse of the mole fractions of the component parts (peanuts and butter).
If you think this is bad, don't even get me started on chilled fizzy drinks, triple points, and condensation nuclei. Or drinks that are advertised as ice cold. If they were ice cold, they'd be ice! This isn't strictly true, by the way, but I've done enough overanalysing for today and I want biryani now.
Is it normal to eat peanut butter by the spoonful?
