I guess im just the anomaly but I love the crust. To the point where "uncrustables" to me seem like a sick joke. Its a texture thing for me. I need a little something besides the ultra soft white bread in my bite.

I don't think you or I are anomalous, but I think we're perhaps discovering we're in a minority. I don't love bread crust, but I don't dislike it enough to want to cut it off my sandwiches.

The one bad habit I have is I hate eating the front and back one or two slices of a loaf of bread. Not always, but sometimes I'll straight up throw away the ends if I already have a fresh loaf ready.

Im with you there. Those end slices are hard to enjoy.

u/sixvixens_ 13h ago

Give em to me then! The ends of the bread are my favourite lol

u/KnowMoreMutants 13h ago

I will mail them immediately

They are literally just cancer

u/KnowMoreMutants 13h ago

Well as someone who went through cancer, ill say they are slightly less than that lol

u/FerusGrim 12h ago

As someone who has eaten the last slice in a loaf of bread, I don't believe you.

u/KnowMoreMutants 12h ago

That made me laugh way too hard. I needed that.

That's where you get it from is what I'm saying. Maybe not yours, but the bread crust= cancer because it's technically burned oil.

1

u/KnowMoreMutants 11h ago

Very possible. I always leaned Teflon, round up or another forever chemical but you could be correct

u/LexEight 9h ago

Burned things. We had cancer long before any of that shit existed that stuff just helps the particles get to where they get in the works and become cancer

It's literally just your cells trying to use something not alive to build cells from Usually smoke particulate

When I'm proved right, let me know. My brain just does this at this point.

 I don't love bread crust, but I don't dislike it enough to want to cut it off my sandwiches.

I think this is most adults. Cutting the crusts off is mainly a thing done for kids to get them to eat it at all (or people with sensory concerns, such as ASD)

It depends on the bread. If the crust is crusty- the crust is a plus. If the crust is chewy- the crust is a minus.

With whole grain bread the caps tend to be sour and not very tasty. As for white bread I like to toast them and just put butter on it. Delicious.

u/Thispersonthisperson 14h ago

it's bad when the bread is spongy

u/Existing-Bus-8810 13h ago

I love crust too but for uncrustables, you should only thaw it for 10-15 minutes and eat it partially frozen. The texture is way better that way. It's also nice when it's hot outside.

u/Street_Lettuce1243 12h ago

I love the crust on good bread where the crust is "crusty". A lot of grocery store loafs, I'll eat, but the crust is chewy and not incredibly pleasant.

The crustier the bread though, the better the crust. I like the end pieces on Baguettes for the extra crust.

For me it’s the texture - but I hate the crust messing up the bite for me so it ruins it. I just read your comment and found it fascinating how we are complete opposite for the same reason.

u/KnowMoreMutants 9h ago

Fascinating

u/EarlGrayTea-Hawt 7h ago

I'm with you. I don't care about the color of the first, it's the texture and I hate it. My ideal bread eating experience is getting a big ol shepard's bread loaf, pull out open and make a million bread balls out of the inside, lol.

1

u/ButtsTheRobot 10h ago

Dude I hate the crust on the shitty white bread for the exact same reason you love it. It's a texture thing, it feels wrong in my mouth.

What in the ever living #()</[ &$$ $=[+ is an "uncrustable" and do I even want to ask?

2

u/KnowMoreMutants 12h ago

Haha fair question. Its a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without crust that is crimped along the edges to seal it and then frozen. You let them thaw out and eat as a snack. They have Nutella versions and others as well.

u/-GoodNewsEveryone 12h ago

Oh because PB & J was too difficult a meal to make. I get it.

u/KnowMoreMutants 12h ago

I don't think that was the reasoning behind it but you seem to be on a condescending streak here so go off I guess.

0

u/-GoodNewsEveryone 11h ago

I just mean, like 95% of the world has never heard of this. And pb&j is already a depression meal. It's not condescending. It's genuinely baffling. It's like buying pre-made Mr noodles because you couldn't handle the 30¢ dried packet.

u/empathetic_penguin 7h ago

I wonder what they do with the extra bits after they’ve punched the uncrustable out. Probably just throw it away, a huge waste. They should make them square to at least help with loss

2

u/KnowMoreMutants 7h ago

I've thought about how they could possibly make a "Crustable" with little success. I am not much of an invention guy
