Nothing shows income inequality more than Uncrustables. Think about it. The fact that this product exits shows that there are people who can and are willing to pay more for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich just to get less of it. There are people in America dying of hunger, and we have people spending more on less food. If you grew up with Curstables you better check your privilege. Uncrustables privilege is stronger than white privilege.
This proves that all the company is doing is making regular peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and then demolishing the crust. I hope they use it for something afterwards, like a protein bar or something. Just relabel it as something else and you have a whole new product to sell. Call it The Upper Crust Bar, as in the upper crust of society.
