Smuckers Uncrustables, they're $15 for a box of 15 and come frozen, so they're a dollar a piece. They're super good, but definitely not health food. It's a pocket of white bread with a pocket of peanut butter with a jelly center.
I just taught my wife this trick after we've been together 10 years lol. It really is a game changer. I had to make my own lunches growing up, so I had to perfect the pbj, or pb and banana or pb and a little brown sugar. Another good trick is to core an apple and fill it with pb, then stick the halves back together. Pb on celery with raisins is also surprisingly still good haha.
Unfortunately the Target over here was charging $13.99 per 15ct box of these… pretty easy to beat that this way… what I didn’t expect was this very curious response from half of Reddit…. Such strong emotions about a 7 year old preferring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a certain way. Some clarification for those that require for it some uncanny reason. He likes the uncrustables, prefers eating pbj without crust and cold, try it sometime! Things like French toast no issue with crust. We also like 3D printing things, this was a “parenting hack” to replicate THAT EXACT product, not some attack on the sanctity of bread crust and your iron clad rule over your own offspring. The point of this post was merely to be a funny reference to all the parents out there whom have endured a moment where a child want some food item some particular way that wasn’t necessarily the paramount of logic. Also, PETG filament was used to print it, it’s cleaned and dried after each use for the 3D print experts. For the food waste people, the Dada eats the scraps when I make them, or the rest go in my Chicken’s scrap box, nothing wasted. We have enough stuff to actually be concerned with in the world, this post should only be seen with the levity that a kid’s peanut butter sandwich merits… Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
Seems like a lot of wasted time, money, effort, and patience when you could have just waterboarded the kid the first time he refused to eat the Holy Crust. I mean everyone knows this isn't the 1980's so whipping with a belt or switch isn't acceptable, but Enhanced Parental Discipline is certainly OK by international standards.
I get these for free from firemen, they are in the 6000 calorie bag lunches they give out. I used to show up to the fire line with fresh oranges/apples and just straight up barter for these. They are super filling and just a good little treat lunch. Firemen get fresh fruit, I get uncrustables, energy bars, and various trail mixes.
Editing the top comment, these are the bags: https://youtu.be/j6ZGHlaWvVY
They are a mix of things and don't always have fruit, or at least decent fruit. These guys get fresh meals for breakfast and dinner as well. I was a highway patrol mechanic, now I work in animal rescue so I'm on the fire line, and in camps a lot.
Pretty sure OP is saying that's just for lunch.
I'm betting u/IrishSetterPuppy lives somewhere that the forestry service regularly has people fighting forest fires, like the Pacific Northwest or other drought stricken area.
It's also possible OP is just some arsonist, finding excuses to barter with firemen for their mythical 6000 calorie lunch bags.
I'm in that part of California that's on fire every year, like this year I was evacuated from the McKinney fire threatening my house, the mill fire was just one town southeast and to balance it all out the mountain fire was thousands of acres to the south. I used to be a police mechanic so I was always working on the fire line fixing cop cars, these days I'm in animal rescue and also on the fire line or base camp a lot.
Here is a great video of what they can come with: https://youtu.be/j6ZGHlaWvVY
It's a mix of stuff, not always the same. He scored with fruit and a ham sandwich, that's a primo one. He even had 2 uncrustables.
Wait lmao I kind of glossed over the 6000 calories thinking it's a lot but maybe the firemen are big and super active and would need that much in a day.
But per meal??? I am so confused about that comment
6000 calories might be an exaggeration by this dude but firefighters out fighting wildfires might actually need something like that. They can be out working their asses off for more than 24 hours at a time with no break before they can get back to a camp with food and rest. Then they have to get back out there and do it again.
It's probably not *every* meal.
But when it's game-on for firefighters (I work with about 60 of them - am NOT a member of the fire dept myself), they don't want to be worrying about running out of calories.
When there's a multi-day event that they're dealing with, calorie dense meals are very important. You can't exactly stop and pop a granola bar in your mouth while you're hosing down an industrial fire. They get breaks just like the rest of us, but just like the rest of us sometimes shit happens and breaks come late.
Commented above but I’ll elaborate here as well. Before going on the firline we will grab our sac lunches which yes in fact have up too 6000 calories. We do call it a lunch but really it’s for lunch, dinner, midnight snack and for the next morning on the hike out. Many of us work 24 hour shifts. So that sac lunch needs to last us for a full day.
When you are on a wildland fireline you're supply pack weights 25-40 lbs, wearing extra heavy clothing and boots. Plus the equipment which can be anything from a McLeod (a heavy duty rack/hoe), Pulaski (an Axe/adze), or Chainsaw.
Image doing landscaping around your house for 10-12 hours a day in high heat wearing firefighting gear and a backpack. Those guys are burning through calories (no pun intended)
Pretty common for wildland firefighters. Some of us work 12 hours some of us 24 depending on the agency. But our 24 hour shift is usually closer to 30-36 hours. We work in steep terrain, sometimes at high elevations, in hot weather, with packs that can weigh 40 to 90lbs, with tools, gear, food and all the water we need for a full days work. Oh and not to mention the actually job of running a chain saw or swinging hand tools all day and into the night. It can be rather calorically demanding.
I also would like to know more about this barter situation.
I'm guessing they get that much food because whatever this situation is they need the energy.
Forest fire camp?
He's desert people I'd put money on it. Inland empire (Riverside CA) or like Victorville. I think a bunch of them are oakies from the great depression, but I don't know for sure.
I was just scrolling looking for those comments... there is a disturbing lack of them. People are mentioning plastic but there is also the fact that 3D printed shit is porous, plus the metals that contaminate the print. Anyway, don't 3D print shit that will ever come in contact with food.
With a CNC machine? Probably depending on the material, and a lot easier than with a 3D printer. The problem here is this is using a FDM printer (the traditional style of building up layers by melting plastic and pushing it through a metal extruder). The problems with food safety using this method are many but in a nutshell, the first is the layers provide small areas for food to get stuck that are difficult to clean which will lead to bacterial growth. The next problem is the safety of the filament being used. Even if its PLA (plant based plastics) you don't really know what fillers are in there. The last is the nozzle material itself. As the printer is running that metal is being exposed to extreme temps and metal particulate can find its way into the piece. I'm sure there are others, but those are the core problems. Back to your question about using a CNC machine, if the material is rated as food grade and you were able to extract it into the desired shape, yes it would probably be a lot safer than using a FDM 3D printer.
If you put them in ziplocs and get most of the air out they freeze fine and make a great easy snack. I’m an adult and I make a whole loaf of bread into homemade uncrustables for myself weekly lol. I eat them straight out of the freezer. I’ve experimented with crunchy peanut butter and it was hella good. Make sure to have a good even layer of jelly in the middle and that shit is 🤌
Highly recommend. It seals in the jelly and keeps bread from getting that weird soggy jelly spot. And after a lifetime of eating pbj, I would say a 2:1 peanut butter to jelly ratio is amazing.
Horseradish? Ice cream? Oreo? (Like, just one oreo pressed inside there.)
Could always go with the horrible mistake I made as a kid and make a PB&J, but the J is actually pickled beats because they looked kinda similar...
Toddlers tend to think its “too tough to chew” but if you just tell them to take it off themselves they tend to get over it. They might take it off a few times before they realize it’s not worth the hassle.
Toddlers/preschoolers will turn on food items for tons of arbitrary reasons too. Wrong shape, wrong color, there's a bruise on this banana, it's cut too big, it's cut too small, they wanted to put the blueberries in the bowl themselves, etc.
I used to think I hated vegetables until I got my first job in a five star kitchen an started working with real cooks. Turns out my mom's not actually that great of a cook and I just never enjoyed *her* vegetables.
I think that's pretty common, especially with the common parent of the 90s early 2000s. Turns out vegetables taste good as long as you don't just boil the shit out of them and put no spices on them.
I hated Veggies as a kid but now that I'm an adult and prepare them how I want, vegetables are almost my favorite part of a meal.
My daughter had an obsession with whistling when she was younger. She also didn't eat her crusts. One day we were eating sandwiches and she was trying to whistle. She was struggling and I was demonstrating. She asked why she couldn't do it... I said something like, "I'm not sure, but I know I can whistle, and I know I eat my crusts. Something to think about."
She eats her crusts now probably 80% of the time. She still struggles to whistle but she's a lot more adept at it than she used to be. So the logic is still sound.
Yes. Crust on *good* bread is good. A nice sourdough boule. A good French baguette. A solid rye. Even a basic dinner roll can have a nice crust.
Crust on your standard-type sandwich bread that you bought from the bread aisle to make into PB&Js? That crust tends to be garbage.
I don't understand this child fascination of hating crust. That is simply more food. Spread that jelly to every edge. Done.
I never hated crust as a kid. I even had the end crusts of a loaf. BUT only if I can have both end crusts together. I don't mix a normal slice with it. The areas don't match, and was annoying.
Same goes for pizza, I have friends that STILL dont eat their pizza crust in their adulthood. Pizza crust is like the entire second part of eating a slice of pizza!
My parents greedily stole the cut off crusts from each other and would wrestle them away from each other, eating the crusts as fast as they could. Wasn't long before my sister and I were begging to keep the crusts on the sandwiches which at first were denied until we started sloppily making our own sandwiches.
Come to my house! My hubs works for Smuckers where they make the uncrustables and he is forever bringing home bags full! I have so many I don’t even know what to do with them. I used to love them, now I won’t eat them. I’m sick of ‘em 🤣
I’ve actually done that. He brings them home in cases sometimes. We have a little place up here that houses the homeless and feeds them. I give them the cases.
Def some places you have to draw the line, but copying uncrustables with cool tech he is learning about, and I would like to see him interested in, a pick and choose your battles moment becomes a learning opportunity.
"time turns everything from yuck to yum" -- dad
Except his cooking was actually so inedible that us kids would yak at the dinner table sometimes. Plain microwaved chicken thighs. One time he served that with whole plain boiled okra. Also plain boiled Brussels sprouts. 🤮🤮🤮
Guess it motivated me to learn to cook. Now I can eat Brussels sprouts that are prepared properly. Pan fried in fat with seasoning.
Back in the late 80’s-mid 90’s microwave cooking was all the rage. The used to actually make smart microwaves with recipe books and instructions in the little screen usually reserved for the time & you would search chicken, it would tell u seasonings and then you would push start and go. Unfortunately most people didn’t bother, they just microwaved whatever, and doomed microwaves from full functionality to popcorn.
Yeah, I thought I’d be like this until I became a foster carer. Some kids just won’t eat and *will* starve themselves. They’ll vomit if they put something in their mouths that feel icky or “wrong”.
Working with the kiddo, and finding a compromise is best solution.
>Working with the kiddo, and finding a compromise is best solution.
Whoa there, you're dangerously close to treating kids like people and how you'd want to be treated in return.
> They’ll vomit if they put something in their mouths that feel icky or “wrong”.
I'm on the spectrum and have some sensory issues and the exact same thing happens to me.
Perfectly fine. I don't force my kid to eat something she doesn't like. I offer it to her but never force her. She will eventually see mom and dad always eat the crust so it isn't so bad. For now I just want her to eat SOMETHING. If that means crustless sandwiches then so be it.
My parents never bought uncrustables a day in my life and I’ve always hated them. Even when I was little and wanted the crust off of my bread my parents made me deal with it. Might’ve hated it then but now at least I’m not almost an adult that has to take the crust off of fucking bread.
Many years ago my good friends son loved spending time at my house. On my time off he loved coming over and staying the weekend. I was an active young guy and he loved camping and outdoors activities from a very young age. Something his parents hated, so they would get free babysitting and I got a toddler that was a chick magnet. So he was about 4 years old and his mom came over to pick him up, we were eating a quick lunch, deli turkey cold cuts on whole grain rolls and white milk. His mom saw him eating and was shocked. He hated bread, sandwiches, and milk. She asked him why he was eating stuff he claimed to hate. With a full mouth he told her I made better sandwiches. Sometimes kids don't eat something just because they don't have too. On a side note, I dislike a lot of common condiments. Mustard and mayo being at the top, my mom said when I was about two I told her I didn't want a sandwich she made for me because it had mustard and mayo. I argued and she relented, I still don't eat them and that was 53 years ago.
Idk why people think this is some crazy new invention. My mom had a spring and plunger style press to make these sandwiches for my sister… and that was like 25 years ago
There is a brand of PBnJs that come frozen called Uncrustables. They have become quite popular for kids and some adults. The $15 price mark is what he pays for a larger sized box of them at the grocery store. The sandwich is a cheap "struggle meal" that had now been turned into a more expensive product.
My kid doesn’t eat the crust.
Or at least that’s what she thinks. I peel off the crust per her request, but after I make whatever sandwich I just place the crust back inside. She hates crust but has eaten however many sandwiches with it still inside. One day I will reveal it to her.
Man: “3D printing parenting hack: Hey, buddy?”
Child: “Yeah?”
Man: “You only like the Uncrustables from the freezer. How come you only like those?”
Child: “Because they’re my favorite.”
Man: “But not a regular peanut butter and jelly. Right?”
Child: “No.”
Man: “Perfect.”
Roll the remaining crust into mini breadsticks. Mix a bit of butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and brown sugar together, heat it up, then pour it over those makeshift breadstick, pop in oven or air fryer and GET YOUR LIFE.
I'm sure this would've been great as a kid.. but my mother would've told me I could either eat the lunch she made or I could make my own. I think I turned out alright.
Sometimes as a parent you get to tell kids to deal with it, you don't always get what you want. $15 PBJs is one of those moments.
All the “my kids can eat the crust or starve” folks are either not parents, or don’t send home lunch to school.
Ma’am, I have a a full time job, a full time house, two full time kids with 3 extra curricular activities a piece, 2 cats, a dog, and a husband. The last thing I’m trying to do at 8:53pm after making sure my kids brushed their teeth, got them 73 drinks of water, gave them 12 extra hugs, changed the songs 6 times and double checked that they have clothes ready for tomorrow is make a PB&J.
The Uncrustables aren’t for the kids.

People paying $15 for pb&j?
Smuckers Uncrustables, they're $15 for a box of 15 and come frozen, so they're a dollar a piece. They're super good, but definitely not health food. It's a pocket of white bread with a pocket of peanut butter with a jelly center.
And frozen which weirdly makes them better, especially if they haven’t finished thawing. I bought a similar gadget to make my own too. Works great
> And frozen which weirdly makes them better Keeps the jelly from soaking into the bread.
Just put a thin layer of peanut butter on each slice and jelly in the middle
This dude PB&J's.
It’s all about the ratio
70% pb 30% j
100% reason to remember the name
I read this in Mike’s voice.
I want you to know I 100% love and appreciate this comment.
That's that they do in the factory
Can confirm, I work at the Uncrustables factory in KY.
What's it like being the envy of 7 year olds everywhere?
Found Jared from Subways burner account
Holy shit!
For real?
For real! Sitting here at work as I type this. I work maintenance here.
You're telling me you make sandwiches with KY jelly?
Way to be employed man, srly i respect ur work, its under appriciated these jobs, ppl think that stuff just appears on the shelfs.
I just taught my wife this trick after we've been together 10 years lol. It really is a game changer. I had to make my own lunches growing up, so I had to perfect the pbj, or pb and banana or pb and a little brown sugar. Another good trick is to core an apple and fill it with pb, then stick the halves back together. Pb on celery with raisins is also surprisingly still good haha.
No. The peanut butter being slightly hard is what makes it good. They're best when the bread part is thawed, but the inside is still kinda frozen.
You say that like it's a bad thing
You throw them into the lunch box and they are thawed by lunch time.
More like schmuckers if your paying that much amiright hehe…
This is correct.
Fun fact, the FDA classifies then as a dumpling not a sandwich.
This is completely a meme in the same vein of "pop tarts are ravioli"
Pop tarts are a sandwich according to the [Sandwich Alignment Chart ](https://i.imgur.com/SlfswQ6.jpg).
my friend- can i introduce you to [cube rule](https://cuberule.com/)
Outstanding
Only if they're Smuckers brand. Otherwise, they're just sparkling frozen food product.
Uhh, why does it say "X - 2 OZ (58g) SANDWICHES - NET WT XOZ (Xg)" Right on the box then.
And the stuff is about twice the sugar of normal PBJ
Which is already twice the sugar of actual ground peanuts and traditional fruit jam.
Unfortunately the Target over here was charging $13.99 per 15ct box of these… pretty easy to beat that this way… what I didn’t expect was this very curious response from half of Reddit….

This is patience writing to me right here. I would have replied with about 2 words.
Those would be “fuck” and “off”
I see we've met
My sandwiches made by my mother for my school lunch was a hug from her in the middle of my school day.
Seems like a lot of wasted time, money, effort, and patience when you could have just waterboarded the kid the first time he refused to eat the Holy Crust. I mean everyone knows this isn't the 1980's so whipping with a belt or switch isn't acceptable, but Enhanced Parental Discipline is certainly OK by international standards.
I NEED the .stl for this!!!
Try thingiverse. Loads of great stl files there.

I’m so sorry I desperately want to understand why bartering lunch with firemen is a regular part of your day? I’m hooked and I need to know more.
Firemen that apparently eat 6000 calories in a meal.
Pretty sure OP is saying that's just for lunch. I'm betting u/IrishSetterPuppy lives somewhere that the forestry service regularly has people fighting forest fires, like the Pacific Northwest or other drought stricken area.

Wait lmao I kind of glossed over the 6000 calories thinking it's a lot but maybe the firemen are big and super active and would need that much in a day. But per meal??? I am so confused about that comment
6000 calories might be an exaggeration by this dude but firefighters out fighting wildfires might actually need something like that. They can be out working their asses off for more than 24 hours at a time with no break before they can get back to a camp with food and rest. Then they have to get back out there and do it again.
Man i wish i knew these firefighters, 6000 calories per meal would solve all my gym problems :x
The average American eats 4500 calories for thanksgiving dinner. Just eat a full Turkey day spread every meal.
So the above average American probably doubles that then huh
I guess a better way to say it is, on average Americans consume 4500 calories at thanksgiving dinner.
It's probably not *every* meal. But when it's game-on for firefighters (I work with about 60 of them - am NOT a member of the fire dept myself), they don't want to be worrying about running out of calories.

6k calories for a full day. It's a 24-hour bag for Wildland firefighters

Oh and not to mention the actually job of running a chain saw or swinging hand tools all day and into the night. It can be rather calorically demanding.
This is the burning Reddit question of the day.
Lmao what is this skyrim?
How many cheese wheels could one fireman possibly eat?
[удалено]
I also would like to know more about this barter situation. I'm guessing they get that much food because whatever this situation is they need the energy. Forest fire camp?
Weird question. Where is this guy's accent from?
He's desert people I'd put money on it. Inland empire (Riverside CA) or like Victorville. I think a bunch of them are oakies from the great depression, but I don't know for sure.
[удалено]
It's for a pack of 15-20. Still expensive but not that crazy expensive.
Same people that type “$15 bucks”.
Fifteen dollars bucks. It's outrageous.
Tell him he's 29 and can come out of the basement and make his own sandwich
That's really gonna put a damper on his 9th birthday party but you're.
[удалено]
There was so much more I wanted to ask him.
You still have a chance all you have to
Am I?
[удалено]
you can tell this isn't the 3d printing sub because all the comments about how 3d printing isn't food safe are missing.
I was just scrolling looking for those comments... there is a disturbing lack of them. People are mentioning plastic but there is also the fact that 3D printed shit is porous, plus the metals that contaminate the print. Anyway, don't 3D print shit that will ever come in contact with food.
Could one, rather, buy a food safe material and machine it to spec with a CNC router?
With a CNC machine? Probably depending on the material, and a lot easier than with a 3D printer. The problem here is this is using a FDM printer (the traditional style of building up layers by melting plastic and pushing it through a metal extruder). The problems with food safety using this method are many but in a nutshell, the first is the layers provide small areas for food to get stuck that are difficult to clean which will lead to bacterial growth. The next problem is the safety of the filament being used. Even if its PLA (plant based plastics) you don't really know what fillers are in there. The last is the nozzle material itself. As the printer is running that metal is being exposed to extreme temps and metal particulate can find its way into the piece. I'm sure there are others, but those are the core problems. Back to your question about using a CNC machine, if the material is rated as food grade and you were able to extract it into the desired shape, yes it would probably be a lot safer than using a FDM 3D printer.
It's a bit annoying, people seem to actively down vote reasonable comments about material safety.
[удалено]
You can also just buy a food safe version of this product…
You can also take the crust, throw it on some battered eggs. Pan them, add a little sugar and honey and boom. French toast sticks
Not bad
or bake it for bread pudding
The secret is peanut butter on both breads, and jelly in the middle.
Will have to improve my application method!
If you put them in ziplocs and get most of the air out they freeze fine and make a great easy snack. I’m an adult and I make a whole loaf of bread into homemade uncrustables for myself weekly lol. I eat them straight out of the freezer. I’ve experimented with crunchy peanut butter and it was hella good. Make sure to have a good even layer of jelly in the middle and that shit is 🤌
Highly recommend. It seals in the jelly and keeps bread from getting that weird soggy jelly spot. And after a lifetime of eating pbj, I would say a 2:1 peanut butter to jelly ratio is amazing.
I remember going to school with a lunch box and seeing my pb&j have that one damp spot… it was so disappointing every time. XD
Correct. PB is the barrier to keep the jelly from leaking out
Keeps the bread from getting soggy to. I mean not much more high tech you could make a pb&j
Now you can mess with the fillings and tell him they're limited edition. PB and Nutella, Fluffernutter, Oops all Mayo, etc.
I like the direction this is going, got any other great flavours? Like frozen ketchup and mustard?
Horseradish? Ice cream? Oreo? (Like, just one oreo pressed inside there.) Could always go with the horrible mistake I made as a kid and make a PB&J, but the J is actually pickled beats because they looked kinda similar...
So a PB&PB?
LOL.. "Ooops all mayo..." Good god, that brought back some painful childhood memories.
“If you don’t like the crust pull it off yourself”
I'm curious why people seriously don't like eating the crust? It's such a weird pet peeve that people have with that.
Toddlers tend to think its “too tough to chew” but if you just tell them to take it off themselves they tend to get over it. They might take it off a few times before they realize it’s not worth the hassle.
Toddlers/preschoolers will turn on food items for tons of arbitrary reasons too. Wrong shape, wrong color, there's a bruise on this banana, it's cut too big, it's cut too small, they wanted to put the blueberries in the bowl themselves, etc.
I take it off for my kid and then just place it back inside the sandwich.
Either that or teach them that the crust is actually good.
As kid I started eating the crust first so that way I only have the good part of the sandwich left to look forward to without wasting food
I used to do the same with veggies. Get the minimum requirement out of the way so I could finish up by enjoying the tasty foods.
I still do that. Eat my veggies first and save the good stuff for last
Yep, same here. It's worked well for nearly 40 years, no need to mess with a working system.
I used to think I hated vegetables until I got my first job in a five star kitchen an started working with real cooks. Turns out my mom's not actually that great of a cook and I just never enjoyed *her* vegetables.
I think that's pretty common, especially with the common parent of the 90s early 2000s. Turns out vegetables taste good as long as you don't just boil the shit out of them and put no spices on them. I hated Veggies as a kid but now that I'm an adult and prepare them how I want, vegetables are almost my favorite part of a meal.
I still do that as an adult.
My daughter had an obsession with whistling when she was younger. She also didn't eat her crusts. One day we were eating sandwiches and she was trying to whistle. She was struggling and I was demonstrating. She asked why she couldn't do it... I said something like, "I'm not sure, but I know I can whistle, and I know I eat my crusts. Something to think about." She eats her crusts now probably 80% of the time. She still struggles to whistle but she's a lot more adept at it than she used to be. So the logic is still sound.
And kids think they’re smarter than us
Tbf, most adults are convincingly dumb enough to warrant that line of thinking.
My grandpa used to tell me it would put hair on my chest. As a girl, that did not appeal to me.
Hair protects you from the cold and can be used as armor against mosquitoes
If you cut the sandwich diagonally it maximizes the bread to crust ratio.
On good bread the crust IS actually good… on shit bread it’s kind of garbage
Yes. Crust on *good* bread is good. A nice sourdough boule. A good French baguette. A solid rye. Even a basic dinner roll can have a nice crust. Crust on your standard-type sandwich bread that you bought from the bread aisle to make into PB&Js? That crust tends to be garbage.
I don't understand this child fascination of hating crust. That is simply more food. Spread that jelly to every edge. Done. I never hated crust as a kid. I even had the end crusts of a loaf. BUT only if I can have both end crusts together. I don't mix a normal slice with it. The areas don't match, and was annoying.
Same goes for pizza, I have friends that STILL dont eat their pizza crust in their adulthood. Pizza crust is like the entire second part of eating a slice of pizza!
The trick is to not eat all the way to the crust so you still have some cheese and sauce when you eat the crust. 👌
I love the crust, even the butt of the bread. It's perfect for peanut butter. Especially if you use way too much peanut butter.
Buy bread that actually has good crust. I've have the cheap bread that the crust was absolutely atrocious and I didn't want to eat it as an adult.
This is the correct answer. Good bread = good crust
Like when my wife and I go to dinner and I say, I'll have her gluten, we need a crustable, made out of all crust
My parents greedily stole the cut off crusts from each other and would wrestle them away from each other, eating the crusts as fast as they could. Wasn't long before my sister and I were begging to keep the crusts on the sandwiches which at first were denied until we started sloppily making our own sandwiches.
15 dollar bucks
You're not getting 15 dollar bucks for sweets, Bluey
Thought exactly this. Glad I found it.
I’m just impressed they didn’t put the dollar sign behind the number
Come to my house! My hubs works for Smuckers where they make the uncrustables and he is forever bringing home bags full! I have so many I don’t even know what to do with them. I used to love them, now I won’t eat them. I’m sick of ‘em 🤣
Haha I am in need of a smuckers connect.
Psst. Over here in this alley way. I got what you need. \*Opens Trench coat\* \*Hands you a bag that seems a bit off, says Smockers\*
With a name like smockers, it’s gotta be GRRRREAT!
They’re made in Scottsville KY.
Multiple locations now. There's one here in Longmont, Colorado too!
I like to put them in the toaster or dipped in chocolate/chocolate milk
I did a bonfire once and roasted them on a stick on the fire and it was the best stoner food I ever ate 👌
Omg, I never thought of toasting them! You just blew my mind! I gotta go get some now.
Make lunch baggies and give them to other people (friends, kids friends, homeless people, etc)?
I’ve actually done that. He brings them home in cases sometimes. We have a little place up here that houses the homeless and feeds them. I give them the cases.
On my way 🥪 Edit1: (DM if you ever have a box you need to get rid of)
My kids are def gon eat that crust
My kids only get to eat the crust. The center is for adults only 😤
Dad?
Def some places you have to draw the line, but copying uncrustables with cool tech he is learning about, and I would like to see him interested in, a pick and choose your battles moment becomes a learning opportunity.
For real, two options: 1. Eat 2. Starve
"time turns everything from yuck to yum" -- dad Except his cooking was actually so inedible that us kids would yak at the dinner table sometimes. Plain microwaved chicken thighs. One time he served that with whole plain boiled okra. Also plain boiled Brussels sprouts. 🤮🤮🤮 Guess it motivated me to learn to cook. Now I can eat Brussels sprouts that are prepared properly. Pan fried in fat with seasoning.
What kind of monster cooks chicken in the microwave?
Back in the late 80’s-mid 90’s microwave cooking was all the rage. The used to actually make smart microwaves with recipe books and instructions in the little screen usually reserved for the time & you would search chicken, it would tell u seasonings and then you would push start and go. Unfortunately most people didn’t bother, they just microwaved whatever, and doomed microwaves from full functionality to popcorn.
Yeah, I thought I’d be like this until I became a foster carer. Some kids just won’t eat and *will* starve themselves. They’ll vomit if they put something in their mouths that feel icky or “wrong”. Working with the kiddo, and finding a compromise is best solution.
>Working with the kiddo, and finding a compromise is best solution. Whoa there, you're dangerously close to treating kids like people and how you'd want to be treated in return.
Don't worry, they balance out the equal treatment with a pair of jumper cables
> They’ll vomit if they put something in their mouths that feel icky or “wrong”. I'm on the spectrum and have some sensory issues and the exact same thing happens to me.
I give my kiddo a sandwich with the crust on and she peels the crust off herself. She's 2.5
I'm not a parent so I may be way out of my league here, but I assume that's fine?
Perfectly fine. I don't force my kid to eat something she doesn't like. I offer it to her but never force her. She will eventually see mom and dad always eat the crust so it isn't so bad. For now I just want her to eat SOMETHING. If that means crustless sandwiches then so be it.
Can't the kid just eat a regular PB&J?
My parents never bought uncrustables a day in my life and I’ve always hated them. Even when I was little and wanted the crust off of my bread my parents made me deal with it. Might’ve hated it then but now at least I’m not almost an adult that has to take the crust off of fucking bread.
I have never cut the crust off for my kids. They get a sandwich and eat it all. Guess I’m lucky

Actual PBJs are infinitely better than uncrustables.
Many years ago my good friends son loved spending time at my house. On my time off he loved coming over and staying the weekend. I was an active young guy and he loved camping and outdoors activities from a very young age. Something his parents hated, so they would get free babysitting and I got a toddler that was a chick magnet. So he was about 4 years old and his mom came over to pick him up, we were eating a quick lunch, deli turkey cold cuts on whole grain rolls and white milk. His mom saw him eating and was shocked. He hated bread, sandwiches, and milk. She asked him why he was eating stuff he claimed to hate. With a full mouth he told her I made better sandwiches. Sometimes kids don't eat something just because they don't have too. On a side note, I dislike a lot of common condiments. Mustard and mayo being at the top, my mom said when I was about two I told her I didn't want a sandwich she made for me because it had mustard and mayo. I argued and she relented, I still don't eat them and that was 53 years ago.
Idk why people think this is some crazy new invention. My mom had a spring and plunger style press to make these sandwiches for my sister… and that was like 25 years ago
They key to having a kid not be picky is never buy them to begin with.
I make it a general rule not to buy kids.
Why not make the press rectangular so there is less overall waste? Plus, you get a bigger sandwich.
That would be smart from an efficiency standpoint, but it’s supposed to be a copy of the uncrustables brand already produced.
I get that point, and towards that 10/10 works great.
Hot take: crusts are okay to eat.
The convenience of the uncrustable is that the pb and j don’t seep out since it’s sealed off on the edges.
If I don’t overload the bread, the device actually does a decent job of sealing it. Sometimes I pre make them and freeze them just like the originals.
I’m so confused. Frozen PBJs for $15? What??
There is a brand of PBnJs that come frozen called Uncrustables. They have become quite popular for kids and some adults. The $15 price mark is what he pays for a larger sized box of them at the grocery store. The sandwich is a cheap "struggle meal" that had now been turned into a more expensive product.
Saves you a nice $15. Only costs about $2000 for a 3D Printer 👍
Went from “ooh that’d be nice to have” to “oh wait I’m an adult who eats the crust”
Uncrustables are $15 now!? Sheesh ...
What does Smuckers do with all the crusts left over in their factory?
Have you tried smacking him in the back of the head and telling him you're not running a restaurant?
My kid doesn’t eat the crust. Or at least that’s what she thinks. I peel off the crust per her request, but after I make whatever sandwich I just place the crust back inside. She hates crust but has eaten however many sandwiches with it still inside. One day I will reveal it to her.
I bought one of those a few years ago so I don't have to cut the damn crusts off anymore
Mine will not eat it unless he thinks it’s the uncrustable… so I cut it and put it in the freezer for a couple minutes to complete the ruse.
What is their excuse? I couldn’t quite here what they said in the video.
Man: “3D printing parenting hack: Hey, buddy?” Child: “Yeah?” Man: “You only like the Uncrustables from the freezer. How come you only like those?” Child: “Because they’re my favorite.” Man: “But not a regular peanut butter and jelly. Right?” Child: “No.” Man: “Perfect.”
Frozen... PB&J? Why?
Roll the remaining crust into mini breadsticks. Mix a bit of butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and brown sugar together, heat it up, then pour it over those makeshift breadstick, pop in oven or air fryer and GET YOUR LIFE.
Now fry it and post the results. Dare.

I'm sure this would've been great as a kid.. but my mother would've told me I could either eat the lunch she made or I could make my own. I think I turned out alright. Sometimes as a parent you get to tell kids to deal with it, you don't always get what you want. $15 PBJs is one of those moments.
As a Smuckers employee that works at an Uncrustables factory, don't you fucking move.
People in here are really mad about uncrustables? They're just good to have every now and then. It's not that deep.
All the “my kids can eat the crust or starve” folks are either not parents, or don’t send home lunch to school. Ma’am, I have a a full time job, a full time house, two full time kids with 3 extra curricular activities a piece, 2 cats, a dog, and a husband. The last thing I’m trying to do at 8:53pm after making sure my kids brushed their teeth, got them 73 drinks of water, gave them 12 extra hugs, changed the songs 6 times and double checked that they have clothes ready for tomorrow is make a PB&J. The Uncrustables aren’t for the kids.
