I hope, in your cost comparisons, you'll include waste as an issue.<br /><br />And one needs to carry scissors these days to open dang near everything. (And then there's the inherent frustration involved in opening so many of these plastic coverings. yikes)helltoupeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-74608751006900363852009-08-11T02:06:16.457-07:002009-08-11T02:06:16.457-07:00the radio debut is fantastic! when can we expect t...the radio debut is fantastic! when can we expect the movie?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-79881517617150023702009-08-10T20:54:28.162-07:002009-08-10T20:54:28.162-07:00Thanks for doing the "work" I didn't...Thanks for doing the "work" I didn't of actually trying the Uncrustable yourself--and congrats on the great press!

And I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was right!!<br /><br />It was a great segment - those bagels sound amazing. When you get up the courage to listen to it, you will be pleased. <br /><br />I don't think I would ever like an uncrustable - but I was raised on the Adams Peanut all-natural butter by my hippie parents, and to this day I find all the store brand peanut butter kind of gross.<br /><br />-JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-9429786977911780252009-08-09T22:20:22.264-07:002009-08-09T22:20:22.264-07:00Hi - just heard your story on KQED.

And your blog is so fun and easy to read I read two full pages without being particularly interested in cooking or Vietnam.

I know you did not factor in the cost of labor but in a school like mine where the kitchen workers are hired for the day it certainly doesn't cost less for them to open the package than to make a few sandwiches. I guess the plus side for them is that the uncrustable keeps forever and extra homemade sandwiches would have to be thrown out. but the kids don't eat the uncrustable. they throw THAT out. <br /><br />ARMORED cars??? yikes.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681719574466222768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-49192399494077346262009-08-08T16:25:24.438-07:002009-08-08T16:25:24.438-07:00The thing, too, about Peanut Butter and Jelly Sand...The thing, too, about Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches is that everyone has been making them forever and likes them in a particular way -- more PB than J, more J than PB, butter, type of bread -- so offering packaged PBJ is unnecessary. ... Something like a Pop Tart is sui generis, so there's no comparison. ... <br />I supposed if they were really good, packaged PBJ's could be like Eggo's, which taste like Eggo's, not waffles.Jennifer and Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034986634575514195noreply@blogger.com
