what new product will they think of next? now they are making CRUSTLESS bread. what? when i saw the ad in sunday's paper, i thought it was a joke. but, no. they are really selling crustless bread. and it being iron kids brand, i don't think it's the type you might use for finger sandwiches...
what do people have against crust? geez. smuckers is now making frozen crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. uncrustables. who came up with that name? why not 'hey, if you're too lazy to make a sandwich, buy these!' pb&j sandwiches have to be one of the easiest snacks to prepare. why do you need an 'instant' one? i think this takes convienience products just a little too far...
now, people who have to ask these kinds of questions must be the ones who don't understand how simple the preparation of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is. get out two slices of bread. a jar of peanut butter. a jar of jelly. (or if you are lazy, the squeeze type) a knife. lay one slice of bread on a plate. apply peanut butter on bread. it's easier to apply peanut butter first, because it's difficult to get it to stay on the jelly. clean knife. or lick it, just make sure no one's watching. then follow the same procedure with the jelly. place the second slice on top of the first. cut in half - making two rectangles or two triangles - or be creative and cut it into fourths. or use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. voila! a pb&j sandwich. now, was that hard?
smucker's also sells pb&j 'kits' - so if you choose to put out a little more effort, you, too, can create your own pb&j!
i can't understand, really, why they always seem to be making more food products - many supposedly for convienience. what about how wasteful they are? how unhealthful many of them are? how full of preservatives all of them are? wonder what would happen if fruits and vegetables were sold by a corporate brand? new! presliced apples! grapes without the stems! i guess you already can by broccoli florets and bagged lettuce...curious. what happened to enjoying food? to knowing where it comes from, what's in it?
hmph. though, the tag line for the instant pb&j? 'pb&j has never been so much fun!'...putting everything in a wasteful plastic box and charging a fortune for it makes is FUN?
