Yeah let me just waste a shit ton of parchment paper for no good damn reason.

 

[ErichWK]

Get the fuck out of here with that honeycomb stick.

 

[Wag]

How does one become a master of the sandwich?

 

[Timeaisis]

Who the has time for all that? I've made pb&js my entire life and I don't think I ever ripped the bread. It's not like I'm clobbering it with a hammer.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

I've never had my bread rip when eating or making or carrying a sandwich.

Is this an actual problem people are having?

Maybe if you're a caveman with no thumbs who has never had peanut butter before.

 

[Frozenprince]

Even $2 loafs of wonder bread don't tear unless you're using the most garbage ass peanut butter imaginable.

 

[shadowkat]

A hack that turns a 3 minute or less process into one that takes several hours.

I've never ripped bread while spreading on peanut butter.

 

[True Savior]

Peanut butter is disgusting. Never crossed my mind to put peanuts in bread. Lets stop this madness US-friends.

 

[Aselith]

Gotta justify your salary, you know? Its a bad idea but they can't all be gold, sometimes you gotta fill the in between with peanut butter cheese.

do people in the US eat white toast with peanut butter and chocolate for breakfast?

asking for a friend

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

This woman reminds me so, so much of "Hip2Save," specifically the "I'm so, so clever for thinking up this really dumb 'life hack.'" A sample: How To Make A Starbucks Latte At Home.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

What a stupid waste of time.

At least the woman in the video you posted seems to be competent at what she's doing. I'd drink the latte, but I wouldn't eat that sandwich.

has anybody tried this foodnetwork recipe? asking for a friend

Generally peanut butter and jelly, sometimes peanut butter and banana.

Usually not peanut better with chocolate.

 

[WoolyNinja]

I don't get it - she just moved the spreading woes onto the parchment paper? It doesn't solve anything!

 

[Angelus Errare]

Is she tipsy? Either way, it's a smart idea.

No, the traditional American pb sandwich has bacon and fried bananas.

I thought the Food Network would have more subscribers?

3 stars

But this way you get to throw away parchment paper instead of torn bread!

 

[Conciliator]

it's frozen

 

[Arcteryx]

Or just spread it with a spoon like an intelligent being.

I eat whole wheat bread with peanut butter for breakfast, with a glass of milk and a banana.

I'm in Canada though.

 

[oti]

I'm glad this video is blocked in Germany.

 

[Ctlead]

I never realized spreading peanut butter onto bread was such a struggle for some people.

 

[Tugatrix]

Is this a parody?

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Kill me. This woman has got to be an insufferable parody of what a millennial parent is "supposed" to look like and believe.

Like who the fuck are they trying to fool with this shit? This could literally be something published in the Onion illustrating how ironically inefficient and non-pragmatic most purported "life hacks" actually are. And how Millennials just eat them up regardless.

Life hack: buy real bread not the shit she lets her kids eat.

Things like this have been around since forever. You're just exposed to it now because of the internet.

Stay-at-home parents get bored easily and frequently look for "creative" ways of doing ordinary things.

 

[ZoronMaro]

I have never had this problem, but even if I ever did, I would probably, y'know heat it up to make it easier to spread and not freeze it and make in impossible to spread.

I make PB&J every day, and I buy the cheapest bread and cheapest PB, and never understood how people tear their bread. This isn't hard people.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

They did.

It failed miserably.

Sweet merciful crap

 

[Snagret]

God peanut butter is so disgusting. Nutella all the way. Come at me bros

Feeling frisky but misplaced your favourite dildo? Squeeze out a hot turd and stick it in the damned freezer. #lyfhack

lol

no joke, I watched that video.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

I wouldn't give her that much credit, haha. She fucks up pretty much every single step in that video. First off, she didn't make espresso, she made French press coffee. When she frothed the milk, she made something more akin to a cappuccino than a latte, and she then poured the coffee into the milk, instead of the other way around.

I mean, I'm sure it tastes "fine." Hell, I have a pretty low bar for coffee, personally. It just irks me a bit when people claim they can perfectly recreate (or even improve, as she claims) what a $1000+ machine and a professional coffee maker can do. It implies that those that enjoy professional lattes are suckers or something, wasting their money. If you want the cheaper stuff -- and I usually do, TBH -- then cool. But don't act like you've cracked some code and exposed the business, when all you did was make some cheap, creamy French press coffee.

That being said, this comes across as me being more upset than I am. TBH, I just love to hate-watch Hip2Save. I may even go on a binge now, as it's been a while since I've indulged myself, haha.

 

[TalonJH]

Do people really have that much trouble spreading peanut butter without ripping the bread?

Oh is this the part where the thread gets really weird for some reason?

 

[Baroquemantic]

I've never had a problem spreading peanut butter on bread, and I've never had bread tear while doing so.

 

[Lambtron]

The only thing I can imagine is she's one of those weirdos that keeps her peanut butter in the fridge? My grandma did that and god damn it was a pain in the ass.

Also "gluggies" smh.

 

[Kayhan]

Don't put peanut butter in fridge.

If its natural peanut butter you have to keep it refrigerated. Its only the hydrogenized stuff that is pantry safe.

 

[SapientWolf]

This isn't a terrible idea because it's impossible for kids (or slobby roommates) to fuck it up. They can make their own lunch and you don't have to come home and find dried up peanut butter all over the kitchen. And there's no crusty peanut butter spoons or knives to deal with afterwards.

You might even be able to layer thinly sliced fruit with the peanut butter in the parchment. They would keep just fine in the freezer and it would save some more time.

 

[shaneo632]

This HAS to be satire or fishing for outrage traffic right?

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

If its natural peanut butter you have to keep it refrigerated. Its only the hydrogenized stuff that is pantry safe.

You can keep natural in the pantry, it just lasts a month vs 6 months but for most that is enough time. Just have to give it a stir at times. It goes on much smoother than regular PB too.
