I guess I’ve always considered it poor form to let ingredient containers mix at all. The knife is already covered in peanut butter, so putting it in the jelly container would get a bit of peanut butter on the jelly, and that’s no good for some reason.
Also because I find it way easier to scoop jelly with a spoon than a knife.
I have not yet achieved the level of skill with peanut butter required to get all of it off the knife. Most, yes, but there’s still a plainly visible amount left.
But then I’m gonna get peanut butter on the bread I’m going to put jelly on. What if the spoon gets contaminated, and then I put it back in the jar for the next person?
…Wait nevermind, that’s not a problem, I use a squeeze bottle.

Wait, why is the knife covered in PB? Didn’t you put it on the bread?
Why did the knife go in the pb first? It goes in the jelly, then gets washed off in 2 seconds in the sink, then goes in the pb.
Wait, wait, you put the PB on top of the jelly? Like a jelly sandwich garnished with peanut butter? I don’t think I’m understanding you correctly.
What kind of peon eats an open faced pb&j? (Unless it’s on toast)
We are definitely talking past each other at this point.

Use the other slice of bread like a chamois to wipe it clean. Now the skill is within your grasp.

wait, wait, you keep the jelly spoon in the jar?
how deep does this rabbit hole of madness go?!
No, no, just as a kid when multiple of us would be making PBJs in sequence. Whoever’s last gets to lick the spoon before it goes in the sink.
