One day Mr. Peanut Butter called his girlfriend, Miss Fluff, and asked her to meet him for lunch on the kitchen counter.

Unfortunate for him...he forgot that he had made plans with his other girlfriend, Miss Grape Jelly, on the same day.

Oh no Mr. Peanut Butter! Look what you\'ve done.

you're gonna get fucked with comments as well.

come to think of it, is this some sort of screwed up cult, out to piss the bloggers off?

Kelly Kapowski was the best thing about Saved By the Bell.

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich (PBJ or PB&J) is a common sandwich in the United States, and Canada, where it's called a peanut butter & jam sandwich. Children are the largest consumers of PB&J sandwiches, usually eating them for lunch.

The recipe is as simple as the name — one slice of bread spread with peanut butter and another spread with jelly, jam, marmalade, or preserves. The two spread sides are then stuck together, resulting in a sandwich that generally will not drip or spill no matter which way it is held. The simplicity of preparation, storage, and eating makes the sandwich a popular choice for children.

A child's lunch is usually made in the morning before going off to school. While at school it will most likely sit in their lunchbox while in the student's locker. This can lead to the jelly soaking through the bread, especially if the jelly side happens to be on the bottom of the sandwich or some other item in the lunch presses against the jelly side. A popular way to avoid this is to slightly alter the way the sandwich is made by spreading peanut butter on both slices of bread and then jelly on top of the peanut butter thus avoiding the problem of the jelly soaking through. Another option is to spread butter or margarine before spreading the jelly on the bread.

Peanut butter was first widely introduced in 1904 at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition although it had been sold as a medical nutritional supplement in St. Louis, Missouri for about 15 years. There is no mention in print of the PB&J prior to 1940. While no one can take credit for the sandwich's invention, one thing that can be ascertained was that both peanut butter and jelly were packed with United States Army K-rations in World War II. The combination proved so popular that returning GIs made peanut butter and jelly sales soar.[citation needed]

PB&J sandwiches are also popular because they can be kept for relatively long periods without refrigeration (unlike, for example, a ham and cheese with mayonnaise).

The United States Department of Defense is researching ways of preserving a PB&J for up to 3 years for its combat troops in the field. Although peanut butter and jelly has been available in the military instant food Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) for many years, it proved difficult to keep bread from spoiling.

In 1998, a shop called Peanut Butter & Co. opened in New York City - they serve nothing but peanut butter sandwiches, and make six different kinds of all natural gourmet peanut butter. Their peanut butter & jelly sandwich is called "The Lunchbox Special" and includes a side of potato chips and carrot sticks.

In December 1999, two independent inventors, Len Kretchman and David Geske, were granted a U.S. patent, US 6004596, "Sealed Crustless Sandwich" to an improved peanut butter sandwich that would have a long shelf life. The J.M. Smucker Co. bought the patent from the inventors and developed a commercial product based on the patent called Uncrustables. Smuckers then made a US$17 million dollar investment in a new factory to produce the product. By 2005, sales of the product grew to $60 million a year with a 20% per year growth rate. These sales correspond to the creation of 1,500 new jobs assuming an average yearly wage of $30,000.

Smuckers has gone on to enforce their patent rights against those that tried to copy the invention by sending cease and desist letters.

Smuckers has also gone on to expand their patent coverage by patenting a machine to produce Uncrustables sandwiches in high volume (US6874409: Method and apparatus for making commercial crustless sandwiches and the crustless sandwich made thereby)

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, however, rejected an effort by J.M. Smucker Co. to patent its process for the making pocket-size peanut butter and jelly pastries.

Fluff?

Poor bananas.

hmm, i miss peanut butter and fluff sandwiches

Nice design. It's too bad that a coupla bloggers here want to troll.

Props.
$5.

I'm damn sure i see 5 colours. Nice illustration.

I'd make it a 3-way! Can't we all just get along :)

omg 5

i love pb and fluff. best sandwich ever. a strange shirt though....

wtf xiv???? i thought you of all people would love this sub...

It's a really funny shirt, but it isn't obvious enough without the text that it is marshmellow fluff. I looked at it and said "What's peanut butter doing with mayo?!". Other than that, great shirt.

it'd be better without the text 4

I love this shirt, a lot.
I don't think it needs the love triangle text but I do think there should be something that helps identify the fluff

oh god deja vu!!!!!

This shirt really needs a banana.

is your watch half a decade slow? coz your style feels... um...

no that was mean. good luck

I really like it. I'd probably lose the text and I'd prefer the peanut butter to be more peanut butter coloured (rather than nuttella), but I do like it. Yes.

I adore dramatic personfication. I'd so buy this, and not just for me, for others like me.

i wish they were actually in a triangular formation, but splendid concept!

There ARE 5 colors: Red, Purple, Brown, White and Black! :O

OH NO. I like this shirt, though. $5 anyway.

nah if you look at the examples, you'll notice that the "5th" color is actually the shirt color. in the orange shirt, the red is replaced with orange, in the yellow shirt it is replaced with yellow, etc.

anyway, i think this is a clever design. a lot more imaginative than some of the other submissions featuring sandwiches.

nice job...though i can't say i've ever experienced a sandwich with fluff on it...i guess that would taste good[i've just eaten it by dipping stuff into it] =p

ha ha those comments are funny.. yeah what is fluff is it some marshmellow stuff.. you crazy americans. Cute idea.

Mr. Peanut Butter likes taller women

I'm confused... I see bread, but no smiley faces.

grapes on the jelly. check.
marshmallow on the fluff.
peanut on the peanut butter. ... ?????

No doubt your are a good illustrator/designer, Timmy Toons.....but your concept is played. Like a whore on Prom Night.

It would be cooler without the text.

I can't win. It's either "It would be better without the text" or "Without any text...I don't get it." =)

Timmy - allow me to clue you in. No matter what you do, someone will hate it. This site is busting at the seams with petty, sniping wannabes who wouldn't know design from a hole in the ground.

It's peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time. Where he at, Where he at? It's peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat.

shadowboy, you just nailed it on the head. Kudos my friend.

xiv, you bastard, I just read that whole thing! Why did you put it there? Because you know there are people like me out there who can't resist crazy useless, random information like that?! ;)

Timmy Toons, love the style, not so much the concept. No offense, but I have to agree with mezo on this one: there have been peanut butter and jelly love shirts around for a very very long time.

Aaawww, she's peanut butter and jealous. Heh.

Aw, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who likes Fluff. :P

mmm marshmallow
nice!

what the hell is fluff? Designs aren't funny if only 4 people get it and you're constantly having to explain it.

At first I didn't know that was marshmallow fluff. I was a little grossed out that someone would put mayo on a peanut butter sandwich. BUT, marshmallow fluff works. I dig it.

wow...i would not have realized it was only 5 colors until i sat and studied it...that is crazy...good job...not too boring but the actual design confused me a bit before i read the story...and the people actually purchasing the shirt arent going to be toting that little cute story around all day and explaining the significance of their t'shirt.

I thought the fluff was a jar of glue.

Tophy:

If you look closely at the sub, the red/orange/ or yellow on each example is the COLOR of the SHIRT. Black, White, Brown, and Purple are the FOUR colors.

tch... you americans ARE crazy... lulz... PBF... how funny is that?!

me, now... I like PBN: peanut butter and nutella! WHEEE! it's like a ghetto reese's pieces sammich!

I shoulda bought that jar of fluff when i had the chance... but it was so much! I just want to try it... nobody else would have eaten it.... too much of a waste... @.o

Very cute. Definitely need to ID the fluff more, as I agree, it looked like mayo. Also may want to make the fluff look more...girly. Awesome concept!

Fluff is yummy!

Red shirt

I'vwe never heard it called fluffl before, i always just called it
marashmallow creme.

I make an awesome pb sammich with jelly, pudding, and vanilla wafers.....mmmm.
