I love Pringles. They're no more bogus than bread.
If I still ate carbs, I'd eat Pringles any day of the week!
Mmmmm . . .
What's really weird and artificial is JELLO.
If it wasn't for massive advertising and marketing,
and the long head start of history, nobody would
eat this stuff. If they were introducing the product
new today, from scratch, it would be a massive flop.
Who would eat a brightly colored, transparent,
quivering food? Terribly sweet, made from meat!
Gross out!

Pringles do not taste the way they used to when they first came out 30 some odd
years ago. They used to taste like potato chips. Now they taste almost
doughy. I think they're using more filler and less potato, hence the name
"Potato Crisps."

Yes, PB does come in slices, individually wrapped like cheese slices and
about the same thickness, but it's ****ty brown in color.

There's probably a product designer driving around in a Porsche

I wonder what else could be packaged that way -- jelly,

I saw a TV segment on the stuff. They basically roll out regular peanut
butter--just like what you buy in a jar--and wrap it up like they do the
individual cheese things. I don't eat much peanut butter, but if I did I
think I'd actually appreciate the convenience even though the slices may
look disgusting. Although they probably wouldn't make my short list of
overprocessed food, that rubbery cheese food or worse yet, cheese "product"
that even the law prohibits the manufacturers from calling food sure would,
though.

Gee, it's sweetened, flavored gelatin - what's
"weird and artificial" about that?
I think this thread is going to show more about peoples'
irrational attitudes toward food than much of anything
about the food itself.

Ah. I had a vision of some peanut butter product with the consistency of
single-slice American cheese. Still, I don't see any added convenience
in unwrapping a "slice" of peanut butter versus dipping the knife into
jar. If it's transportation, how do you keep the peanut butter slice
from getting squished and leaking all over the place?

I'm pretty sure they are called Crustables. I think it's so

WAIT! Let me try again. They are like large peanut butter and jelly
ravioli, if that makes any sense. No crust, just ? bread crimped

Uncrustables -- the lack of crust is a selling point. Small Child

It depends on the peanut butter and jam in question -- a low-carb
peanut butter might have fewer calories than a full sugar jam. The
OPs best bet is to compare labels before buying...

From a randomly googled website:
http://www.oc.edu/staff/phil.heffin...oodCalories.htm
Peanut butter: 166 cal/oz
Jams and Jellies: 80 cal/oz
So, yeah, twice as much. I'd wager I do a 2/1 ratio of PB to J, so
that doubles the double.
Of course, the Peanut butter brings along lots of nutrition that is
missing in the Jelly, so the quality of the calories are different.

The carbs in the peanut butter aren't the issue--it's the naturally high
fat content of the peanuts that add the calories.

If you compare low-fat peanut butters to regular, though the fat content
is lower, the actual caloric content is usually about the same--often
exactly the same. E.g.,
<http://www.jif.com/products/details.asp?prodID=325>
<http://www.jif.com/products/details.asp?prodID=330>
Reduced Fat Jif Creamy and Regular Jif Creamy. The regular has 16g of
fat, the reduced fat has 12g of fat. But the reduced fat has 15g of
carbs, the regular, 7g. Both have 190 calories.

My own version of "reduced fat" peanut butter is made by taking a jar of
Laura Scudder's or Smucker's natural peanut butter, allow it to separate
as much as possible, and disposing of all the oil. I suppose I could
calculate how much fat and calories have been removed by measuring the
oil, but I've never bothered. It has to be lower in both than if the
oil was mixed back in. The flavor doesn't suffer a bit, but it can be a
little bit dry.

I don't buy reduced fat peanut butter, so I wasn't aware of this.
I wonder what carbs they're replacing the fat with...

It looks like those Kraft individually wrapped cheese slices, except
a different color. Those PB slices are ocassionally available at the
ShopRight supermarket in Cherry Hill, NJ where I do most of my
grocery shopping. Since I am not a fan of peanut butter, I have
never tried them, and I doubt I would try them even if I liked
peanut butter.

Perhaps. How about those cans of powdered ice tea?
The stuff in there is heavily processed.
Than again, heavy processing is not necessarily a bad
thing. My favorite condiment, Heinz Ketchup, is heavily
processed, as is any other version of ketchup, even a
recipe that's made at home.

And in this case the Heinz product is pretty much *far* superior to any
