When Mary Rickard opened a can labeled Maxwell House coffee Tuesday, the container was full of creamy peanut butter instead of coffee granules. Her son then examined the 34.5-ounce coffee container and found a 4-pound Jif jar wedged inside the otherwise empty coffee can.

surely no one would smuggle peanut butter!
in there?
Mary Kay, I've seen a picture of it. It looks like a norman coffee can, but when she took off the lid, there was a Jiff seal. When she opened that it was solid peanut butter. Looks like for some reason someone took a new empty metal coffee can and jammed a 4lb. container of Jif (it's stiff paper, like a Pringles potato chip can) into it and then put a lid on it.
