Peanut Butter Slices
If you hate the best part about peanut butter—licking it off the spoon or butter knife—then P.B Slices are just the product for you. Watch out Kraft Singles. These individually packaged, peel-off sheets of peanut butter are totally inviting themselves to your party. [via Thursday Night Smackdown]

I can't believe it! My million dollar idea has been stolen from me!

Oh geez....why does the world even need this?

Ewwwwwwww. And what nasty-ness do you think is rolled into that peanut butter, to make it so tractable? Yuck-a roo.

I feel like this could be brilliant.

I guess one good thing from this would be that airplane passengers can bring this on the plane without having to conform to the "3 oz. liquid" rule. But I personally would rather stick to the old fashioned kind.

once again, a waste of packaging and a product aimed at lazy Americans...

And according to Thursday Night Smackdown, PB Slices were the brainchildren of students at Oklahoma State:

Yea, i'll stick with the good ol' jar.
I guess for the really lazy, you can slap a slice of PB on some bread, then throw on a fruit roll-up in place of the jelly.

i like my peanut butter extra extra crunchy, so i doubt i'd dig these.

I hate us.

I think most of you guys are missing the point of these -- I really doubt they're meant for adults who like peanut butter but can't be bothered to get out a jar and spread it themselves. They're clearly meant for kids, who tend to love stupid gimmicky stuff like this.

next up... individually wrapped jam!

Over in Italy Nutella comes packaged in slices like that for easy sandwich making. The laziness factor totally reminds me of brian reegan's bit on peanut butter and jelly in one jar.

I showed this to a friend and she was immediately reminded of the Mr. Show sketch about "mayostard" and "mustardayonnaise": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OuPEubf-UY
My response was that PB Slices are actually less realistic, but they actually exist. The worst part is that in the recipes section, they have a recipe for a milkshake using PB Slices! And notably absent from pbslices.com is their ingredient list. Hm, I wonder why...

In order to be called peanut butter, its got to be 95% peanuts (I think that's right). Also, the "old fashioned" kind isn't pure or anything (presuming that "old fashioned" means Jif or Peter Pan or Skippy or what-have-you). I agree, though, I'm curious to see an ingredient list.

I think the idea of peanut butter slices is so wrong, but I wonder if it tastes like the peanut butter you find in the packages of peanut butter cracker sandwiches: shamefully wrong yet sweetly delicious. Half the fun of eating those cracker sandwiches is taking out the peanut butter and folding it or flopping it around a little bit ... you know you've done it!

I'm the only one that remembers PJ Squares?! They had peanut butter on one side and either strawberry or grape on the other.

@poke87-- exactly!! I sincerely doubt these are meant to really resemble actual peanut butter. It's all about the nostalgic faux-peanut butter!
Christina at 12:47PM on 10/05/08
Saw these a while ago but forgot about them! I really need to get some but they're not in any stores near me. These are even better than those portable squeeze pouches of peanut butter you can get (cheaper and more importantly you don't waste any!)

"wow, you're mom homemade your pb and j? mines the uncrustable circle kind."
"yea, she made it from scratch with peanut butter and jelly slices. Sandra Lee taught her how, on the t.v! Yours is still cooler though, because it's a circle."
"Yea, I can't wait for dinner tonight, we're having microwavable Manwitch uncrustables and watching t.v"
delilah at 3:29PM on 10/06/08
All that's left is for Sandra Lee to figure out how to use peanut butter slices to bastardize a store-bought angel food cake. Perhaps by whipping them into some store-bought vanilla frosting, to get rid of that "packaged flavor"?

This is grossing me out.

Make a "banana sheet" and i'm sold!
bellyspeak at 10:21AM on 10/08/08
I first discovered these in the supermarket about 3 years ago (maybe more). I shook my head the same way I do when I see:
"pre" boiled potatoes
canned potatoes
Un Crustables
hard boiled eggs
Just file it under "Shamdra Lee Ingredients" and we can move on with our lives.

Here's the thing I don't get. I presume they're marketed either for people who are too lazy, or they're meant for on-the-go snacking. So it boggles my mind that they have this recipe on their website: http://www.pbslices.com/parents/recipe_mama.laubach.fpb.brownies.html WHY would you put the effort into baking brownies, but then resort to using these slices instead of grabbing a spoon and a jar of peanut butter?
