The product consists of a crustless sandwich that's filled with peanut butter and comes served with a jam-inspired dip to encourage the consumer to have as much or as little on each bite as they want. The sandwiches are refrigerated and don't require thawing like other similar products on the market to maximize convenience for consumers who simply want to grab them and go. Lunchables PB&J are hitting the US market now where shoppers can find them in [Grape and Strawberry flavor options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-pop-grape-and-strawberry), which are each inspired by their respective classic jam flavors.
