If you’re ambitious enough to still use an SLR and happen to break your lens hood, a jar of peanut butter could be your savior. Demonstrated by filmmaker Casey Neistat after dumping his camera — he shows a quick and easy DIY using a few simple tools and a peanut butter jar lid.
And mad respect for choosing Goober Grape, which makes for an extra stylish hood.
Since it unfortunately still exists, Goober Grape is technically not ephemera. But since it is a memory that has been voluntarily suppressed by most people, we’ll suspend disbelief and pretend that the lazy man’s PB & J hasn’t inexplicably survived for four decades.
Introduced by Smucker’s in 1968, Goober Grape is an evil little product that caters to those who may only own one knife, by placing peanut butter and jelly in the same jar. The result is what you might expect — a horrifying presentation of vertical beige and purple stripes, and the flavor of a big pile of suck.

And of course, there is a Facebook Fan page. Does anyone else have parents who tortured them with this?
