A buddy of mine from Michigan is trying to tell me that peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches were actually a thing when he was growing up. Has anyone actually heard of this? Is this for real? If so, gross. Double gross.

It's not a real thing. It can't be a real thing. It just can't be.

Hi, Michigan Guy checking in here. PB & Mayonnaise is an abomination unto all things sacred, and most certainly not a local delicacy. Your friend is either working the long con to get you to eat a sandwich full of regrets, or is a complete sociopath and shan't be trusted alone with the good silverware.

Or your friend is from the Upper Peninsula, in which case I'd believe it. Like the Inuits who hunt seal for their rich, rich blubber (which in turn provides the 10,000 calories a day you need to survive in the tundra), I could imagine Yoopers having to eat calorie-dense sandwiches to survive... because outdoor plumbing. If in fact your buddy IS from the Upper Peninsula, tell him that you know what his life was like because you watched "The Red Green Show" once. This will piss him off, but then he'll start making jokes with you about fishing on Possum Lake. Because art imitates life.

THIS is how you answer a question.

And if this potential yooper son of a bitch is pushing these sandwiches on people tell him to get back above his damn bridge and stay there.

What a horrible thing that would be to eat.

I went through several weird sandwich phases growing up, including cream cheese & jelly sandwiches and sardine sandwiches. I was more adventurous back then, and likely to eat whatever my parents put in front of me.

Could be worse.

Not too sure on the origin, but I was visiting some cousins in deep south Texas. We stopped at a gas station and went it to get some random snacks. My little sister wanted some Hot Cheetoes. When I went to pay the cashier asked me if I wanted a bag of pickle juice. I didn't know why, but my cousin said he'll show me. When we got home, he took out a small bowl, put Hot Cheetoes in it, poured in the bag of pickle juice in, and was eating it like cereal. YUUUCK!!!

The very thought of it curdles my blood. That said, I don't believe this is a Yooper invention. Actually, I rather enjoy ethnic-yooper food. Pasties are delicious, Elk is passable for bison, and a Kessler's & Vernor's makes everything taste better.

I must have had an aneurysm or be reading this incorrectly: certainly you did not say "hot cheetos and pickle juice" and "eating it like cereal"? That could never possibly exist, it violates the laws of science and decency.

That makes my taste buds curl just thinking about it. My Dad used to try and turn me on to PB & Butter sandwiches, but I tried a bite once and they were fucking awful. I just chalked it up to him being from The Netherlands. You crazy Euros, you.

I ate them as a kid, but now I can't believe I did.

I pretty much eat everything even now :P Favourite sarnies must be tomato sarnies or Marmite and crisps though.

Let me guess. Your cousin also drinks Mountain Dew like it's water.

yeah dude, every gas station down there asks you if you want pickle juice for your Hot cheetoes. They have them in plastic bags at the front counter. I remember someone saying they knew of this also in Oregon or Ohio, one of those. It might be spreading. I surely hope not

I do enjoy some Pasties.

Haven't had Elk, but I certainly would give it a try.

Vernor's is the devil.

Sorry. I grew up on the east coast (NJ) and that people all over our state of Michigan try to pass that shit off as Ginger Ale makes it the most evilest substance in existence. I don't mind a cream soda and I don't mind a ginger ale. There's no reason to combine them!

Another Michigan expat here and you have a goddamn yooper on your hands.

What you need to do is tell him his snowmobile is aflame. He'll know it's a joke, but you're going to see him get more and more uncomfortable the longer you talk to him.

LOL maybe :] . He does however use Elmer's Wood Glue as hair gel. His spikes are like steel needles.

As a once resident of Michigan (for many years). I can attest that it is a variation on a sandwich we used to consume from time to time. The only difference was we put banana's on it as well

In Kansas, according to my wife, they eat Peanut Butter, Miracle Whip (not mayo) and American Cheese sandwiches. Ick.

I'm from West Michigan and have never heard of such an abomination being eaten there.

Brilliant

The question is, when will the urge to check on it out weigh his trust in his snowmobile?

I have heard of PB and marshmallow fluff but not mayo...

That is one of my favorite Yooper jokes ever. And they all hate it, which adds to the levity. :)

Or the plane crash joke.

"A two-seater Cessna 152 crashed earlier today just outside of Marquette. Shortly after takeoff the plane hit a Canadian goose and crashed into a nearby church cemetery. Both the pilot and copilot suffered minor injuries. Marquette County Sheriff's deputies have begun search and rescue operations. Early reports are grim, as they have already recovered 862 bodies, and expect to find more as digging continues into the evening."

I used to think you were an okay guy... but dissing on Vernor's?

Although for what it's worth, I hate all ginger ale, unless bottom shelf whiskey is in it.

One of the best ways to drink cheap whiskey, that or some sprite/7up.

And I just use the Montego to make up for other character flaws.

So that's definitely a redneck thing? I thought it was just me who noticed that.

Never had PB and mayo, but PB and marshmallow fluff is delicious. You can even add some chocolate syrup for a smore-like effect. Yummy.

I had a friend in high school from MN that used to eat gold fish and italian dressing. A similar if not disgusting habit.
