With 5 kids, my parents economised big time on school lunches. The majority of the time it was (smooth) pb with cheap jelly (not jam) on white bread. Before sandwich bags were invented, my mom would put a
cookie on top of the sandwich and wrap it in wax paper. By lunch time,
the cookie had absorbed moisture from the bread and was soggy; the sandwich had a big stale spot in the middle from the cookie. Turned me
off from pb&j by the time I hit first grade but had to endure it until senior year when I got to buy lunch. By the time I got to high school, sandwich bags had come out so mom would fold in the flap, then put the cookie on top of that. Didn't make a whole lot of difference as
usually the cookie overlapped the flap enough to soak up moisture from
the bread.

I knew that your dislike of PB came from its constant presence in your school lunches, but I did not recall the part about the cookie. I
presume you have gotten over your dislike for stale bread and cookies? :-}}
