Dr Pepper is a “native Texan,” originating at Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store. It is the oldest of the major brand soft drinks in America. Like its flavor, the origin of Dr Pepper is out-of-the-ordinary. Charles Alderton, a young pharmacist working at Morrison’s store, is believed to be the inventor of the now famous drink. Alderton spent most of his time mixing up medicine for the people of Waco, but in his spare time he liked to serve carbonated drinks at the soda fountain. He liked the way the drug store smelled, with all of the fruit syrup flavor smells mixing together in the air. He decided to create a drink that tasted like that smell. He kept a journal, and after numerous experiments he finally hit upon a mixture of fruit syrups that he liked. 23 flavors in all were in the mix.

Grape is most definitely the popular favorite as far as I know. But I have found that strawberry is also pretty popular, especially among adults. The sandwiches are definitely some thing that get put in children’s lunches, and they can be seen on picnics and trips to the park as well. The first PB&J sandwich was apparently introduced in 1901, only about five years after the introduction of peanut butter at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1895.

i agree, there are 2 major makers of jam/jelly here in the states, BAMA and SMUCKERS, i would say that SMUCKERS was a more popular brand, either jam or jelly would do on a PB&J. how much peanut butter and jelly you put on the bread is up to you, there is something you might want to try at some time PB&J on toast also on different types of bread, it all depends on how much you want to experiment, i do nit advise using jam, but, like i said, it all depends on how much you want to experiment with, the BEST thing to put with a PB&J, in my opinion, is SMUCKERS SEEDLESS BLACKBERRY JAM it is amazing, i have had it my entire life, you will not regret it.

[@MK3SupraSteve]

This!!!

[@MGmirkin]

Jam/jelly are fairly interchangeable here. Basically the same thing. Jelly is more just using jellied fruit juice. Jam, on the other hand tends to have more of the fruit, pulp, sometimes seeds, etc. Preserves tends to have like more whole fruit pieces, etc. But, yeah, either jam or jelly works fine in PB&J. So, if you have "jam," use jam. I recommend trying blackberry and/or apricot jam. Both are great! You can also go way outside the box and use something like sweet chutneys. I once tried a mango-habanero chutney (basically a sweet sauce / marinade with mango and hot habanero pepper), and it was delicious (and spicy, which is rather different/interesting, but perhaps only for the adventurous [once you've acclimated to all the "basic" versions] and not for the timid). You can also try a peanut butter + banana/honey/both sandwich. Also quite lovely. :)

Smucker's jellies, jams and preserves are my favorites. Yum! They make varieties (including no added sugar) in strawberry, concord grape, triple berry, blueberry, peach/raspberry, orange marmalade, apple, red plum, apricot, peach, pineapple and blackberry. They also make ice cream syrup toppings and apple butter and peanut butter. In general, jelly is fruit juice, sugar and pectin to make it gel. Jam is made with smashed fruit, sugar and perhaps pectin and a pinch of salt. Preserves have fruit, pectin, sugar and a little acid (lemon juice). Recipes vary from cook to cook, or company. I currently have both raspberry jam and orange marmalade in the fridge. My favorites. Marmalade is a fruit preserve with citrus peel boiled in sugar. Marmalade mixed with chili garlic sauce makes a great dip for egg rolls. I prefer Peter Pan peanut butter, but Jif is more common as is Skippy's.

This will stop the jelly from soaking through the bread. 2. We use jam or preserves a lot more than jelly. I actually haven’t had jelly since I was a kid. I don’t even think I’ve ever even purchased it in my own. 🤣🤗

[@ds.nedsong]

You can buy Grape preserves? I have never seen that like ever ... It's Welch's Grape Jelly in the squeeze bottle for me. The long thin opening you squeeze the jelly through breaks it up into perfectly smooth spreadability. It makes me feel down right spoilt. But, I don't mind jam, as it is just as smooth.

Smuckers is probably the most famous brand but everytime I go to someone's house usually they have store brand jelly because all the brands flavors pretty much taste the same. 3. White bread is definitely preferable with a pb&j but in the last couple decades there has definitely been a pb&j version of a lot of things so just put it on whatever, a hamburger bun works if you prefer more bread in the ratio... 4. Speaking of ratio, as far as jelly goes you don't want to go too thin but you definitely don't want to put it too thick because jelly likes to gush out and it is a popular food to achieve new eating medals(clothes stains) from. And as for peanut butter, you just go with what feels right to you, when you know... You know... It's a spiritual thing.

My mother has always enjoyed canning her own jams and jellies. The difference: what we call "jam" can have seeds and pulp in (because it is made with mashed up bits of whole fruit), and what we call "jelly" has no seeds (because it is made with fruit juice). Other than that, it's basically the same process: fruit, heat, pectin, sugar.

[@garymcgregor5951]

[@sandrasamuelson4796]

I was born in the Midwest U.S.--Missouri. Jelly is clear (light shows through) Although my mother made grape jelly I couldn't tell you much about the process except that she ran the fruit through a kind of cone-shaped sieve on a stand with a big wooden cone-shaped "pestle" , so I think what was mostly used was the juice as most of the pulp, peal and seeds stayed inside the "sieve". At county fairs they hold it up to the light when they judge it to check it's clarity (like wine HAHA). Jam has the pulp and is opaque. It is easier to spread than Jelly. If the whole fruit is used it is Preserves. Try all three with PNB. My favorites now are Grape Jelly, blackraspberry Jam, and Strawberry Preserves. I am 75. In the 50s I ate PBJ several times a week at lunchtime. (I went home for lunch.) Often with a bowl of soup. It was on white bread with grape jelly--always. As I grew up I did explore a lot of variations which I think almost everyone does! Although some people do seem to become obsessed with what they grew up with. I knew one boy who would eat nothing else BUT PBJ for lunch--even on picnics. I gave PBJ to my children for lunch fairly often. The first variation was "chunky" peanut butter. I understand this is quite controversial to some people. I used to favor chunky but now I like smooth. Some people actually scatter peanuts in the sandwich. Toast is excellent for PBJ. Also explore different kinds of bread. My mother taught me a PNB sandwich that most people don't know about. It sounds very strange but I love it. It is PNB and Miracle Whip (a mayonnaise-like salad dressing by Kraft) yum. And even better with bacon on it. I call it a "fat sandwich". It is my all-time favorite, (except maybe "Reubens" (dark rye bread with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sour Kraut)

[@coolstamper]

You have a beautiful family!!! Here in America when we say “peanut butter and jelly”, the “jelly” includes jelly, jam, and preserves. Jelly is made with the juice from fruit, jam is made with the fruit mashed up, and preserves is similar to jam, but has larger pieces of the fruit in it. My personal favorite is jam. These are totally different than jello. Not the same at all. Jello is used as a salad, side dish, or a dessert, whereas jam, etc. is used on sandwiches, toast, biscuits, pancakes, etc. They pair wonderful with peanut butter, cream cheese, etc. If you don’t have jelly/jam/preserves in NZ, there are many recipes for them on Pinterest and they’re very easy to make. They can be made in large or small portions and kept in the refrigerator, frozen, or canned.

I'm an American who has watched a lot of first-time PBJ reactions. Growing up, I would have never guessed that this was such a strange combination outside of the US. It's a downright staple for us. The key is to use the most enriched, soft white bread you can buy. I've seen people try to use fancy bread, and you're just doing it wrong. Also, you need a very cold glass of milk. They pack really well too. Don't require refrigeration for a long time. But, if you're gong to pack one for any amount of time, the jelly will eventually soak through the bread. If you're going to pack it for a long time, put the PB on both side of the bread, then put jelly in between. Problem solved.

There is also a great rift between the preference for "chunky" or "smooth" peanut butter varieties and is something that is not brought up in polite conversation.

I've found that doing it like that helps to seal the sandwich from leaking, but not everyone likes peanut butter that much.

[@chrisgoetz544]

Jams, jellies, preserves and Marmalades. Jam- I think would be the same as NZ jam where it would have mashed up bits of the berries in the jam. Jelly-Which is a jam that has been strained/filtered to make a smoother product that does NOT contain bits of the fruit in it. Marmalade-Same as Jam except instead of berries its made with citrus , usually orange and it has the bits in it as well as made with juice and rind parts. And preserves could be used for all of them since they were "preserved".

We usually have PB&Js with milk, and either for lunch or an afternoon snack, but (especially in the opinion of the kids) can be eaten any time, for any meal. I like my ratios pretty much equal, but everyone has their own preferences. Grape is probably the most classic and popular, followed by strawberry, but I like just about any and every flavor or combo of flavors. We have one called "Traffic Jam" that's a combination of peach, strawberry, cherry and raspberry, (some recipes also add cranberry) and one called "Frog" jam that's Fig, Raspberry, Orange, and Grape. Probably the most popular brands of jelly (as well as jams and preserves) are Smuckers and Welch's, and the most popular peanut butter brands are Jiff, Skippy, and Peter Pan. I've never heard of those Splits, but they seem like a convenient travel option to have them paired like that, so you can make your sandwich fresh when you want it, instead of making ahead of time and possibly having a soggy jelly side. Toasting, panini-press-ing, or even grilling are absolutely acceptable. I think food experimentation is the American way! I love a toasted peanut butter, honey, banana & raisin sandwich! [Edit: I also don't mind whether it's smooth or crunchy peanut butter. I know some people have very strong preferences and opinions on that topic.]

"I think food experimentation is the American way" poetry my friend and *absolutely* true. Well said.

[@belkyhernandez8281]

"When do you eat this? Breakfast, lunch, snack, kids lunch box" .....yes. PB is inexpensive, easy to prepare, nutritious (if you get the natural stuff), travels well, and has a long shelf life. So if you aren't allergic to peanuts or fruit, it's the kind of thing you keep in the pantry for emergencies (storms), work/school packed lunches, travel, picnics, busy days, sick days.

[@Great_Wall_of_Text]

"...yes."...yup. Anytime food right there. My kids eat PB and honey about twice a week. Meanwhile, I lightly butter the outside of a peanut butter sandwich and fry it in a pan. It's so good I even skip the jelly. Somehow I spent forty years eating PB sandwiches of all sorts without frying them. All those years, wasted : (

[@belkyhernandez8281]

@@Great_Wall_of_Text lol... I can't be bothered to fry but you gave me the idea to butter the inside.

Very Nice Snacks TRY MACADAMIA NUT BUTTER DELICIOUS VERY TASTY WITH RIPE BANANAS ELVIS PRESLEY WOULD APPROVE WITH A SIDE OF WELL DONE BACON NOT TO BE EATEN DAILY BUT A STICK TO THE RIB'S DISH RESPECT ENJOY THE COMING HOLIDAYS

[@timacrow]

More like when do we NOT eat peanut butter and jelly?

[@oliviasorenson1336]

The peanut butter (creamy JIF) you used in the video is my favorite. We always bought that no matter the cost growing up. My go-to jelly (or jam or preserves) is strawberry. Smuckers is my go-to nowadays, but you really can’t go wrong. Store brand jelly was the norm as a kid. My sister prefers crunchy peanut butter and grape jelly.

[@kayleighandhercat1351]

Crunchy peanut butter is my favorite!

[@catw6998]

Same here. We have both Jifs in the pantry closet. I like Smucker’s seedless in strawberry and blackberry. I may have mine - pb&j with hot tea, or Pure Leaf subtly sweet iced tea, or Fair Life-chocolate milk. Anyone suggest to them a Fluffer nutter? I might have a bit more peanut butter on mine or try for 50 50 . A thicker version of both pb and jam is better than a thin version. My spouse sometimes adds a slice from a banana to his and almost always does the very cold milk.

[@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time]

Jif is too sweet, tastes more sugar than peanut.

[@lizzygraham748]

Skippy peanut butter is awesome also.

[@whitegoldakarawstahh]

there is a huge coca cola factory in atl GA , and used to be a really cool underground mall rite by it

[@Xhal123]

I'd say Strawberry and Grape are the two most common flavors you're going to use, but Strawberry takes the right company making it honestly, there is some amazing ones out there which I think hands down is better than any grape jelly.

[@LordSteeleCastleClashPsteele68]

I love pb&j but I only eat it with strawberry jelly grape being the most popular is blowing my mind

[@jimmybishop993]

By the way I’m American and haven’t ever had “sour cherry” even with 2 daughters we stick to the Grape and strawberry.. smuckers makes good PB and jelly . Great video as always

[@exblondie57]

You can enjoy a PB&J any time but it's a pretty traditional school lunch staple! It's great with toast for breakfast though and I'll sometimes take a single slice of bread, PB on one half, jelly on the other, and eat it as a snack 😍

[@Azsunes]

To bad peanuts are banned in schools around here, use to be my go to. We had a peanut allergy back then in the school but he just ate with the teachers.

[@richardtew6811]

The main difference from jelly and jam is the amount of fruit fiber left in the final product. Preserves has the most fruit fiber, jam the second most, and jelly is mostly rendered down juice. When rendered down some fruits (like grapes and apples) don't leave much fruit fiber left which is why you see less preserves and jam from grapes. I enjoy your videos guys! Your a blessing.

[@kevinjohnson613]

Cheap, easy to make, tasty, and filling. These are the main reasons the pb&j is so popular.

[@daniel_sc1024]

And its sweet, so kids like it.

[@blueangelsfan4072]

Our PB&J is our go to, best with Milk. My favorite PB is Chunky super chunk. Mixed fruit jelly rocks. Its for any meal or snack. Similar to Beans on Toast. 😉🕊♻

[@TauniAdams]

Not bad nutritionally either. Only negative is the sugar. But it is soooo good.

[@dayzeystephie]

You guys crack me up! Here in America, we just assume that everyone eats PB&J sandwiches. When I travel and see people who find those flavors together to be odd, I think those PEOPLE are odd.🤔 You are absolutely correct about the PB and jelly ratio, however. Everyone has their own liking and it is the jelly that makes the sandwich, everytime. Keep making us smile!

[@mikemann1960]

We need to send them all flavors of Smuckers jelly.

[@laraismyname821]

This was the lunch I brought to work every single day when I worked in an office (mostly bc it doesn't require refrigeration & I could keep it in my desk). Pro-tip: If you're packing a PB&J to eat later, spread a thin layer of PB on each side of the bread & put the J in the middle. The PB will keep the J from soaking into the bread & getting soggy. I prefer strawberry preserves though. Specifically, Bonne Maman--a French brand.

[@romanduran4829]

I like how it gets a little soggy though lol

[@laraismyname821]

@@romanduran4829 LOL. Yeah but after about 6 hrs your fingers will go right through.

[@tcschenks]

Jam will work just as well as jelly. Concord grape, blackberry (if no seeds), blueberry, strawberry, or apple jelly are all fine. I’ve even used strawberry preserves. And yes…you need a glass of cold milk.
