PB&J question

BagCSC · 08-06-2006, 08:40 AM

As a kid, I used to like to take my peanut butter and jelly, put them in a bowl, and mix them before putting them on the sandwich. For some reason, it always tasted different (sweeter) than just putting jelly on one side and peanut butter on the other. Anyone else done this?

I have - it makes spreading easier and the jelly doesn't fall off the peanut butter and onto your lap!

When I was a kid they had a product that was just that. The peanut butter and jelly together in one jar. It was more swirled together instead of being thoroughly mixed as you describe. Can anyone remember what the name of that product was?

That's so funny!

I'm always spilling stuff on myself when I eat. I try not to, but it's fate I guess.

Yeah - it never fails - everytime I go on a picnic my "shelf" collects something! I can eat clean at home - but not on a picnic!!!!

I've learned to spread ketchup and mustard on my hotdog roll and press the roll closed so that they stick to the sides of the bun before I place the hotdog on the bun. Also, I place the relish and onion on the bun first and top it with the hotdog - try to keep the shelf clean - LOL!

The peanut butter and jelly swirl I was talking about was made by Smuckers and was called Goobers. Does anyone remember this product? Do they still make the product?

I think it is still available. Never tried it - I like to "smush" it together myself (still like a kid in some ways!)

That's a great idea, but I've never liked jelly (I'm the guy who just makes them with peanut butter), so I won't ever use that technique, well, at least not for PB&J.
