- 0:00Speaker 1: Did you guys see what I was eating this morning?
- 0:02Speaker 1: Am I breaking the law? It's one of six pointy
- 0:04Speaker 1: seven m breaking the law. Cubby Christine, producer Christen So
- 0:09Speaker 1: my wife told me, and then Kristin reminded me this
- 0:12Speaker 1: morning that I was eating a I don't know what
- 0:16Speaker 1: to call it because I don't want to get sued.
- 0:18Speaker 1: But Trader joe Trader Joe's has their version of an
- 0:21Speaker 1: uncrustable basically yeah, and it's called Crustalis. It's peanut butter
- 0:26Speaker 1: and jelly. It's just like the Uncrustables. They're frozen. You
- 0:31Speaker 1: have to take them out like an hour before we
- 0:32Speaker 1: eat it. Then it's perfect. And anyway. JM. Smucker has
- 0:37Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit against Trader Joe's, and the suit accuses
- 0:41Speaker 1: Trader Joe's of creating a Crustal's peanut butter and jelly
- 0:44Speaker 1: sandwich too similar to Smucker's own Uncrustables, particularly with the
- 0:49Speaker 1: crimped edge design and a distinctive shade of blue used
- 0:53Speaker 1: on the packaging. Now, I threw it away already. I
- 0:57Speaker 1: ate it like an hour and a half ago. But
- 0:58Speaker 1: it was very inhale. Those things.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Well, when you when you took it out of the package.
- 1:03Speaker 2: If I didn't see the package, I would have thought
- 1:04Speaker 2: it was a regular uncrustable.
- 1:06Speaker 1: But what is it? Look, it's bread, peanut butter, and jelly.
- 1:10Speaker 1: What's the big deal? Like, can't they have the same product.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I mean, there's tons of different pizzas out there from
- 1:16Speaker 1: different frozen pizza companies. Yeah.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Sure, but I guess so Smuckers invented the uncrustable.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It's a peanut, butter and jelly sandwich. They didn't invent that.
- 1:25Speaker 3: They took the crust off it and they crimped around
- 1:29Speaker 3: the Listen, I'm the biggest Trader Joe's fan on the planet,
- 1:32Speaker 3: so I'm not. I'm not the biggest panu butter and
- 1:34Speaker 3: jelly fan on the planet. We want you to be happy.
- 1:37Speaker 3: But Smucker says that that was ours, like they trademark.
- 1:41Speaker 3: They did trademark it.
- 1:42Speaker 2: They said, you know, you can go on like Amazon
- 1:45Speaker 2: and buy the maker. There's like an actual maker where
- 1:48Speaker 2: you make your own sandwich. Show them too, That's what
- 1:51Speaker 2: I'm saying. What's the difference. It's like a little mechanism,
- 1:55Speaker 2: you know, and you you press it down and you
- 1:58Speaker 2: make your own uncrustable.
- 1:59Speaker 1: So the Muckers have a case. That's my question, Like,
- 2:01Speaker 1: whose side are you on?
- 2:02Speaker 3: Because they have a trademark, they might have a case.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I don't know where do they have the trade market?
- 2:08Speaker 1: I mean in trademark land. But Trader Joe's is not
- 2:11Speaker 1: calling it uncrustable. The name is different.
- 2:14Speaker 2: They know better than that.
- 2:15Speaker 3: It's so close.
- 2:16Speaker 1: It's very close. I'll give you that.
- 2:18Speaker 3: But Trader Joe's does this a lot, like, you know,
- 2:20Speaker 3: instead of Oreole cookies, they have like the JoJo's. Correct,
- 2:24Speaker 3: they you know, they do a lot of every supermarket
- 2:27Speaker 3: all the brands do stuff like this. So I don't know, right,
- 2:31Speaker 3: I am certainly not a lawyer.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Oh, here, come the police down the hall. I'm being
- 2:34Speaker 1: arrested for eating a Trader Joe's uncrustables. Yeah, it's the same,
