    That’s the most concerning part of this post, what adult eats PB&J for a real meal? I can understand it as a “there’s literally no other food in the house” thing occasionally but damn. Am*ricans really do eat the unhealthiest shit by choice

      Pbandjs are fucking great, shut the fuck up.

      It’s not a real meal no but still

      a lot of people certainly eat junk especially for work lunch. hell I bet most do. and I've seen posts before in the same literal configuration: adult husband wants/expects adult wife to

      • make his lunch
      • it's a PB&J
      • made with the most sugar-loaded, ultra sweet, industrial brands

      this is what tired parents make little kids because they know the child will eat it and not complain.

      so I've seen it before, but I refuse to let it pass without comment.

      it's making me insane that he says "you make the best PB&J" with the industrial ingredients! like wtf. is she cutting them into dinosaur shapes? including a little note to remind him to share the enclosed famous amos cookies with friends?

          My sorta-partner likes it when I cut her sandwiches into triangles.

        Same energy as saying “I make the best ramen” when it’s instant noodles with an egg thrown in. My heart goes out to all the grown ass people with such limited culinary experiences they’re that easily impressed. Just use fresh ingredients to make things from scratch with your partner, it’s a blast! The heavily processed ready made slop is only needed when you dump all the responsibility on one person

          with your partner

          Absolutely not, no, get out of the kitchen, I'm running this shit like I'm head chef, sous chef, line cook and dishwasher of a Ramsey restaurant all rolled into one.

      A PBJ sandwich is vegan and is probably healthier than what a large majority of Americans eat for lunch.

      American food really is grim, there's better quality fruit and veg at a 7/11 than your average US supermarket
