How do you make a peanut butter & jelly sandwich? A guy on reddit had a question for us: “I asked if my wife would make a pbj for the kid’s lunch, she obliged. I was watching her as I was doing dishes. I was absolutely shocked. I’d NEVER thought about a pbj being constructed any other way than how I do it: peanut butter one side, jelly the other side, close. My wife made it with peanut butter on both sides and then jelly on top of the peanut butter. Is my wife a heathen? My whole life is teetering on madness.” A number of people commented like this person: “By coating both pieces of bread in peanut butter, it creates a barrier between the jelly and the bread which stops the bread from going soggy.” Someone else commented: “That’s nothing. My grandmother mixed the peanut butter and jelly together into a single consistency, then spread that.”
