Now this is just getting silly...

When I logged on to facebook this morning I was greeted by an ad (carefully disguised as a friend's status update) for something called Smucker's Uncrustables Sandwiches. Oh. My. God. This is worse than the go-gurts and that pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly goop. And the pitch is pricelessly absurd:


In case the text is too small, it says: "Simple Pleasures... Made Even Simpler. We sealed the goodness of a Smucker's PB&J sandwich inside soft bread and removed the crust. All you do is thaw and serve - A simple way to enjoy one of life's simple pleasures. Found in the frozen section at your local store."


And other fun details you probably can't see in the image: The grilled cheese is "pre-toasted" and only requires 35-60 seconds in your microwave -or- 10-15 minutes on a baking sheet in a conventional/toaster oven preheated to 350F and then 1-2 minutes to cool. As for the ready-to-eat Peanut Butter selections, keep frozen until ready to eat. Thaw 30-60 minutes at room temperature. So actually keep frozen until 30-60 minutes before you are ready to eat. Then, for best flavor, be sure and eat within 8-10 hours of defrosting.


Flavors? Is that really the best term? Not just a frozen version of what is possibly the simplest sandwich to make, but a grilled cheese flavored one. Almost as funny as the PB & Honey on Wheat, you know, for the health conscious folks. Good grief. This is wrong on so many levels...
