I never knew anyone who called them Jaffles, they were always just called toasties in my family but literally everyone else called them Breville's after the brand.

I had to look this up but the Breville wasn't made until 1974, 25 years after the jaffle weirdo patented his thing, so I guess the Aussies are technically right about this one :shrug:

Also Brevilles are also Australian apparently

e: personally I'd have called them chazwozzers

I had those crimped toasted sandwiches as a child but I don’t remember what we called them. It wasn’t jaffles. Jaffles is a made up word for pretend people.

they're called Uncrustables, as dubbed by the rightful owner of the concept Smuckers, though the left wing communist judicial system may say otherwise.

I had no idea all those fast food places sold single-serving packets of all those sauces even. Red Robin? In-n-out burger spread? :aaaaa:

I only kept watching to see *how many* sauces they had, it was honestly impressive.

Now that I think of it, it must’ve taken a while to collect all those packets. Shame.

They don't usually sell the franchise-branded sauces, is the trick, but they always have them on hand to throw into your drive-thru order or have at the table (in the case of Red Robin) or w/e.

SlothfulCobra

Yeah, you have to do some kind of of shenanigans to really stockpile branded fast food sauce.

But also sometimes you'll just find an option in the order menu to order like an industrial sauce packet and get 7 dollars' worth of sauce all at once.

Depends on the restaurant, but catered fast food sometimes comes with sauces on the side. Less mushy bread, easier to accommodate people who don't want a particular sauce/condiment.
