  • Over the weekend, I went into my kitchen to conduct a very serious, hard-hitting interview.

  • What is your name?

  • Bedford.

  • What's your full name?

  • Bedford.

  • An interview with my son, Bedford.

  • And how old are you?

  • Two.

  • And who am I?

  • Daddy.

  • I wanted to ask him about one of his favorite foods.

  • the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

  • So we've got two sandwiches here.

  • Okay, let's open them up.

  • Specifically, I wanted to ask him about two competing versions of the PB&J.

  • The Uncrustable, which is made by J.M.

  • Smucker, and an alleged copycat made by Trader Joe's.

  • If you're unfamiliar, these packaged sandwiches both contain peanut butter and jelly on white bread.

  • They're both crustless, crimped at the edges.

  • They kind of look like giant round dumplings.
