30 years of creamy only. we're done.

Jerome Monroe Smucker sets up shop in Orrville, Ohio. No idea what he's eventually going to do to the chunky community. Completely innocent at this point. We hold no grudge against Jerome. Chunky status: Not yet invented. But already being failed.

David Geske and Len Kretchman — a former college wide receiver and his wife Emily — make the first Uncrustable in their kitchen using a literal drinking glass to cut the bread. The name came from an 11-year-old kid. They called it "The Incredible Uncrustable." They distribute to Midwestern school cafeterias. At this moment, the world was 35,000 Uncrustables a day closer to greatness. Chunky status: Not considered. Two dads. Probably smooth guys. Forgiven — they were busy being geniuses.

The J.M. Smucker Company — a jelly empire — acquires Geske and Kretchman's patent and company. They rename it, secure U.S. Patent No. 6,004,596 for a "sealed crustless sandwich," and immediately begin aggressive legal action against anyone who makes a round sandwich. Power move Chunky status: Nobody at this meeting was asking the right questions.

Uncrustables hit grocery stores nationwide: Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly and Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam. The product is an immediate hit. The chunky peanut butter section of every grocery store watches from a distance, confused. Chunky status: Passed over at the founding. The original sin.

Having already sued Albie's E.Z. Jammers for patent infringement, Smucker's attempts to expand their patent to cover the manufacturing method of sealed sandwiches. The U.S. Court of Appeals eventually rules against them. A federal judge — reportedly with a straight face — noted that his wife had been making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for years and might be infringing. Meanwhile: still no chunky. Chunky status: Smucker's had time to litigate sandwiches for 4 years but not add one ingredient.

Demand is so high that Smucker's builds an entire factory exclusively for Uncrustables in Scottsville, Kentucky. Then another in Longmont, Colorado (2019). Then another in McCalla, Alabama (2024). Three. Whole. Factories. Each one chugging along, producing exclusively smooth peanut butter sandwiches. Chunky status: Three factories. Zero chunky. The math is personal.

"I eat an Uncrustable probably more than I eat anything else in the world," Kelce said on the New Heights podcast. Smucker's responded with a full sponsorship deal at remarkable speed. The Kelce brothers became the "Bread Brothers." Actual mascots

NFL teams eat 3,600–4,300 Uncrustables per week. The Ravens consumed 7,500 in a single season. The Phillies eat them in the dugout. Charles Barkley keeps a full freezer. Drake was caught eating one on stage. All smooth. Every single one. Chunky status: Kelce never once said "I wish these were chunky" publicly. A missed opportunity for all of us.

Trader Joe's releases a sealed crustless sandwich. Smucker's files suit in federal court, citing trademark infringement and dilution. They have spent over $1 billion on marketing and product development for Uncrustables — a figure that could have funded approximately one (1) chunky test run. Chunky status: Smucker's had $1 billion and chose lawsuits. We're not saying that's wrong. We're just saying.

Uncrustables is closing in on a billion dollars a year. Three factories. Full NFL sponsorships. Honey variety. Hazelnut variety. Reduced sugar on wheat. Raspberry. But you — chunky peanut butter person — still have to make your own sandwich like an animal.

So we made this website. You're here. Let's fix this together. Chunky status: Present. Pissed. Organized.
