Peanut Butter Slices
Status: Real
This really shouldn't surprise me, but for some reason it does. A company has developed peanut butter slices that come in packs (similar to packs of sliced cheese). I'm not sure how they made the peanut butter rigid enough, and non-sticky enough, that it could be formed into a plastic-wrapped slice. But somehow they did. I'd be worried that whatever they did to it would affect the taste. No word on whether anyone has developed sliced jam. [Update: they have; see the comments below.] I think if you're going to eat sliced peanut butter, you naturally should have it on Sara Lee's crustless bread. It would be the perfect meal for anyone too lazy to do anything on their own. (Thanks to Kathy for giving me a heads up about this product)

Oh, yum. Now I want a package that, when I press a button, will open itself and fling the "food" into my mouth.
Posted by Reynard Muldrake on Fri Oct 28, 2005 at 07:21 PM
Wow, good timing. As I was reading this I was sitting eating peanut butter on a spoon. Yah, I wanted it on apples but I'm all out, so I was just eating it by itself.
Might be more convienient in slice form, but I can't imagine it would have the same tecture.

They probably partially-hydrogenate all the oil in the peanut butter to harden it (and in the process create whole gobs of trans-fat). You couldn't use the same technique on jam, because it doesn't contain any fat. But jellies are routinely hardened for candy by the addition of extra sugar and pectin or gelatin. Thus there is hope for peanut butter and jelly slices. But doesn't Sara Lee or Pepperedge Farm already make pre-packaged crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? I think one of them recently sued the other over patent infringement for spreading the peanut on the bread slices and putting the jelly in between. Really, I'm not making this up!
Just today I noticed imitation shredded mozzarella on sale at two local supermarkets. It was made from hydrogenated oil and loaded with trans-fat. Get your heart attack cheap.

Still not quite as distrubing as those frozen "Uncrustables", for parents too lazy to put sliced peanut butter on crustless bread themselves.
I'll remember to thank my mom for putting the effort into making peanut butter sandwhiches FROM SCRATCH. She even used to draw a little heart on the PB with the knife and serve them open faced sometimes. I never realized how lucky I was. And she mananged to do all that and work full time.

I've seen those PB "slices" before, but they seemed fairly disgusting, so I didn't touch them.
Next we need sheets of solidified butter for people who are too lazy to butter their own toast.

Apparently, I used to live in a test market for these things, because I bought a package two years ago. While the concept is... amusing, the product itself tastes a bit like licking the devil himself. In fact, I couldn't feed these to stoners. I swear.
Stoners. Would not. Eat them.
I've seen them eat things that AREN'T FOOD, like candles, but one taste of these slices of evil and they vowed to never touch them again.

Jon, how do you know what the devil tastes like?
And what are you doing feeding stoners?!?!
Posted by Cathy in South Dakota on Sun Oct 30, 2005 at 09:56 AM

The devil tastes like heaven fallen to earth. Corrupted. Like something that should be good, like peanut butter, gone quite horribly awry.
As for feeding stoners, they're always hungry. It's a good way to get rid of things you don't want.

I seem to remember actually tasting one of these a while back. If I did, it was a lot like the peanut butter that comes between two crackers for use in children's lunches. If not, then that's what I think it would be like.

Personally, I don't enjoy peanut butter in any form, but my dog loves it. It was hard to use it as a training treat though, until I got a sample of these slices from my dog trainer. So, um, I highly recommend them as dog food, but I'd hesitate before encouraging human consumption.
Posted by Annie in Chapel Hill, NC on Mon Oct 31, 2005 at 03:00 PM
Aha! So it's a dog treat!
It would also probably be handy for baiting mousetraps. Contrary to popular legend, people in the pest control industry say mice aren't all that crazy about cheese. They much prefer peanut butter. I've even seen traps for sale that had a synthetic "bait" shaped and colored like a piece of Swiss cheese, but scented with peanut butter.

This is a link to a combined pb+j slice... yes, I said it. Combined.
I've had these before.... I'm not too fond of them.
Posted by Jackie on Tue Nov 01, 2005 at 07:28 PM
So Amanda, that means someone has created jam slices. I'll need to update what I wrote.
Posted by Alex in San Diego on Wed Nov 02, 2005 at 11:00 AM
And i thought the jar that contained both jelly and peanut butter was outrageous . . .
Posted by Ariel on Fri Nov 04, 2005 at 08:43 PM
I remember at least four years ago that they were selling this. I bought some because I saw this on NBC 5 Chicago. It even had the jelly in it. It was discontinued after I believe a month or two. But now it is back yeah
Posted by John on Mon Nov 14, 2005 at 07:28 PM
What... there is a jar that has both??
How the hell... wouldn't, after a while, the two just sort of... combine within the jar? Peanut Butter and Jam has lost its novelty. I'm telling ya... What about the people who prefer a certain peanut butter to jam ratio? The pre-packages slices and combo jars will never tend to their needs...

I LUV THIS STUFF, THANK GOD FOR P.B. SLICES, YAY!!!!
Posted by terr pickering in fayetteville, nc on Sun Sep 02, 2007 at 11:11 PM
The whole 'P/B' combination is quite common here. Marketed under the name "Goober Grape"...not appealing, though.

can you please tell me which are all the grocery stores that sell peanut butter jelly slices
Posted by indu in west des moines, ia on Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 12:03 PM
I can't see anything wrong in it. The idea is great. This way you don't have to carry you little spoon with you when you wanna eat some peanut butter, you just eat like simple peanuts.
Posted by vitanet on Wed Jul 30, 2008 at 04:25 AM
Most peanut butters on the market have trans fat. Real natural peanut butter has the natural non trans fat oil and peanut solid separate in the jars.
