  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

It's about what I would expect from the kind of person who buys squeezy jelly.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's Welch's though which actually tastes good and IIRC is owned by a growers collective not a megacorp.

Found this

National Grape Cooperative Association, a co-op of grape growers, since 1956

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is that good? I'm weary of what's behind good news of a major business.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

Just means it’s owned by the farmers

Though at their size, the farmers could be people that just own the farms and use farmhands for all the work

I buy squeeze jelly because the campus-affiliated market that I have a meal plan for only sells jelly in squeeze bottles. Though it's nice how it saves a spoon, it's a bit of a pain to operate. Especially the grape flavor.

GRAPE-jelly in a squeezy, ketchup-style plastic bottle mixed with plastic bottle peanut butter in a standard-issue IKEA bowl, only then applied between two non-wholegrain, untoasted toasts.

Can someone add a YEAH, a guitar, an eagle and the US-American flag as effects?

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

I hear you. That said, Skippy makes a traditional (must stir) version in a glass jar. It's decent, by our available standards (I've never had foreign pb). But the last time I bought Smuker's strawberry spread it had hfcs instead of cane sugar. >:( So I went back to raw honey.

I put some peanut butter on each slice, to “waterproof” it before applying the jelly. That way, the bread doesn’t get soggy and gross.

That’s as advanced as I get with my PB&J engineering. Forget this mixing nonsense.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just toast the bread a bit

[–] The_Che_Banana 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

toasted PBJ on the griddle

[–] I_am_10_squirrels 1 points 5 months ago

Deep fried uncrustable

[–] KuraiWolfGaming@pawb.social 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if it actually changed the flavour a bit.

That's one way to make the "secret sauce" for burgers. Just ketchup, yellow mustard, mayo and sometimes relish. Mixing them before adding to the burger changes the taste considerably.

This pic is some dystopic stuff. How can you eat those fake mixtures full of chemistry? Is this what people in USA eat? Even the bread looks like it would never spoil.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I did this when Smucker's "Goobers" first came out and my mom wouldn't buy it.

It's just a waste of time; doesn't affect the taste. It is however better than Goobers; it's super weird and almost plastic tasting. They did something to the jelly and use an almost candy-like peanut butter that makes it worse than the cheapest individual PB & J's. Absolutely hated it when I finally got to try it.

[–] mlc894@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

I do this - it makes it taste better if you emulsify the jelly into the peanut butter. Qualitative differences ftw!

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

Smucker's Goober be like...

[–] Tulitaa@kbin.social 4 points 5 months ago

More like a misdemeanor

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

now sell it for 18 usd in a café

[–] Dreizehn@kbin.social 3 points 5 months ago

No, but I should try it. Mix in some bananas or honey.

[–] CyanFen@lemmy.one 2 points 5 months ago

I like it like this sometimes

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

What the hell?

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Its like peanut butter and jelly but with extra steps

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

This is from the only episode of Camp Caribou I remember.
