Here goes nothing

Edit: I didn’t like it :(

I don’t know if I ate wrong or what but this just tastes super weird. No idea why it’s so popular

Edit 2: I just remembered I loved peanuts dipped in honey as a kid. That’s kinda similar. I wonder why I didn’t like this then.

    Did you do no research at all? White bread, grape jelly, smooth peanut butter.

    Nevertheless, it’s a mediocre sandwich. The popularity is because it’s cheap, shelf-stable ingredients, compatible with a child’s palate. Adults rarely eat them, and when they do it’s mostly out of nostalgia for their childhood.

      smooth peanut butter.

      crunchy peanut butter is just a half job.

      Those guys on city road crews leaning on shovels for three months? they like crunchy.

      Yeah, the reality is, you aren’t gonna find pb&j on a restaurant menu anywhere. pb&j exists because it is a cheap and easy way to feed kids, and you really won’t understand the hype as an adult.

      The only time I or other adults I know eat them is when we are doing something like going for a hike, when the shelf-stable nature of the ingredients and high caloric density are assets.

      Also, for an authentic pb&j experience, you must make the sandwich in the morning, crush it with several books, and then eat it around 11am.
