amjensen410 8 months agoI love a PB&J as much as the next person but there was way too much peanut butter and jelly on that thing. You’d get a whole mouthful of jelly in one bite and that’s disgusting.

I’ve picked up most of these here and there on the internet and IRL over the past few years. The one I haven’t come across before that actually blew my mind? THE TACO ONE. I don’t give a crap if the shell cracks, but this should keep the shell from getting soggy (blech). Also notable were shoe stretching/cherry tomato slicing.

Maybe it is because i am not American, and don’t vibe off your vibes, like private healthcare and guys walking round with guns, but come on, the idea of peanut butter and jam (yes, you tossers, i said jam, because that is what it is) is disgusting.
The only right way to eat it is not eat it.
