I've loved peanut butter & jelly forever, and when I told Hailey I'd never eaten an Uncrustable, she kindly brought me one. It disappeared faster than the time it took to take these photos. 😋 My Friday tie looks like a paisley Uncrustables tie. 👔

Not expecting any results, but I just want to know. Which PB&J #Uncrustables is better? My High Schooler has a friend that thinks olive oil is too spicy. But they eat Uncrustables.

Inspired by @TamarYellin, I want to make sure you all know about this absolute classic:

U.S. Patent No. 6,004,596, directed to a "a sealed crustless sandwich." https://patents.google.com/patent/US6004596A/en?oq=country:US+type:DESIGN+6004596+

#UtilityPatents #Uncrustables

US6004596A - Sealed crustless sandwich - Google Patents

A sealed crustless sandwich for providing a convenient sandwich without an outer crust which can be stored for long periods of time without a central filling from leaking outwardly. The sandwich includes a lower bread portion, an upper bread portion, an upper filling and a lower filling between the lower and upper bread portions, a center filling sealed between the upper and lower fillings, and a crimped edge along an outer perimeter of the bread portions for sealing the fillings therebetween. The upper and lower fillings are preferably comprised of peanut butter and the center filling is comprised of at least jelly. The center filling is prevented from radiating outwardly into and through the bread portions from the surrounding peanut butter.

Ok #trademark and #IP folk, thoughts on this? Also, I really want to try one of the possibly infringing ones-- chai spiced pear butter and peanut butter? YUMMMM
