    The strugglewich. You try to get as many calories into one sandwich as you can because you know its going to be a hot minute before you get to eat again and you don’t wanna get hunger pangs.

    The trick is having something to help wash it down. I usually do the same, except without the jelly… or the bread for that matter. Give me a jar of Pb and a spoon and I’m happy.

    That’s what the coffees for. I don’t…love pb&j but it slaps together quick in the morning and delivers a lot of calories quickly so it was my go to during my construction worker days. I’m actually wondering how he got it not to smoosh everywhere

    I’ll sing you a poem of a silly young king
    Who played with the world at the end of a string,
    But he only loved one single thing—
    And that was just a peanut-butter sandwich.

    His scepter and his royal gowns,
    His regal throne and golden crowns
    Were brown and sticky from the mounds
    And drippings from each peanut-butter sandwich.

    His subjects all were silly fools
    For he had passed a royal rule
    That all that they could learn in school
    Was how to make a peanut-butter sandwich.

    He would not eat his sovereign steak,
    He scorned his soup and kingly cake,
    And told his courtly cook to bake
    An extra-sticky peanut-butter sandwich.

    And then one day he took a bit
    And started chewing with delight,
    But found his mouth was stuck quite tight
    From that last bite of peanut-butter sandwich.

    His brother pulled, his sister pried,
    The wizard pushed, his mother cried,
    “My boy’s committed suicide. From eating his last peanut-butter sandwich!”

    The dentist came, and the royal doc.
    The royal plumber banged and knocked,
    But still those jaws stayed tightly locked.
    Oh darn that sticky peanut-butter sandwich!

    The carpenter, he tried with pliers,
    The telephone man tried with wires,
    The firemen, they tried with fire,
    But couldn’t melt that peanut-butter sandwich.

    With ropes and pulleys, drills and coil,
    With steam and lubricating oil—
    For twenty years of tears and toil—
    They fought that awful peanut-butter sandwich.

    Then all his royal subjects came.
    They hooked his jaws with grapplin’ chains
    And pulled both ways with might and main
    Against that stubborn peanut-butter sandwich.

    Each man and woman, girl and boy
    Put down their ploughs and pots and toys
    And pulled until kerack! Oh, joy—
    They broke right through that peanut-butter sandwich

    A puff of dust, a screech, a squeak—
    The king’s jaw opened with a creak.
    And then in voice so faint and weak—
    The first words that they heard him speak
    Were, “How about a peanut butter sandwich?”

    Peanut Butter Sandwich by Shel Silverstein

    Priority order of beverages for peanut butter consumption:

    1. Milk
    2. Coffee
    3. Carbonated beverage of choice
    4. sweet iced tea (unsweetened becomes a horrible flavor, and doesn’t cut through the fats as well.
    5. Hot teas.
    6. After that point, you’re playing with your life if you try to use other drinks.
