But who's counting?

I love peanut butter, but alas its high fat and calorie content has kept it off my regular pantry inventory. However, after eating a delicious on-the-go PB&J sandwich the other day, I bought a jar full of the chunky goodness. I saw that the serving size, two tablespoons, contained an appalling 200 calories and 16 grams of fat, so I resolved to use only one tablespoon in my sandwich.
I mentioned this to a huge peanut-butter fan.
"One tablespoon!" he scoffed. "That's how much you lick off the knife!"
He laughed when he spied my 18-oz jar of the brown stuff, stating that he wasn't aware that peanut butter came in a sample size. Or perhaps it was a travel size, sufficient for a trip to, say, Philadelphia.
