I had this idea years ago to rank movies based on the best and worst making of a peanut butter sandwich. It struck me the number of times I saw an actor awkwardly smear a piece of soft white bread with a giant clump of peanut butter then just slap another piece of bread on top and eat it. It might have only been one movie but all I could think was, "Of course they don't know how to make a peanut butter sandwich... they're not a real person who has to make peanut butter sandwiches for lunch every day, they're a big time Hollywood actor." You might think the scene from War of the Worlds would rate high on the worst list, but to me it fits. Of course Tom Cruise's character has no idea how to make a peanut butter sandwich. He's an absent father who is in way over his head.
I take a couple of Uncrustables with me to work every day.
Not one single regret.
I salute you 🫡 PB&J’s are the backbone of many a genius imho
