The worst thing here is that this isn't even over PB&J. It would be rather silly if it was just someone who was copying their "original" idea for crustless PB&J, but it's even worse than that. The issue at hand here is a sandwich called the pasty. All kinds of places in the northern part of Michigan sell them. Drive around and you'll see signs for them everywhere. Anyone who lives in Michigan who has ever been "up north" can tell you that they know what a pasty is. They've been around for as long as I can remember, and the article seems to indicate that they've been around since the 19th century! I'm not exactly sure why Smuckers thinks they're going to win this..
