According to Zagat, the state sandwich for Minnesota is the "Juicy Lucy", which is a hamburger with a melted cheese core. I think I've had that once or twice before in my life. It seems like a Minneapolis thing rather than a Minnesota thing.

The North Dakota sandwich (Sloppy Joe) is a regular summer dinner staple here. Brats (Wisconsin) are also very popular.

The Dairyette 2 blocks from my house serves them as well and has for years.

They are ok, but not my fav, by any means.

Well, something must have happened because almost overnight they quit selling it. No tv ads and not as many jars in the stores. Seem like the bigger grocery stores had 3 or 4 shelves, and they went all the way down to about 5 jars lined up one right after another on a shelf right above the ice cream freezer with jars of Chocalate, carmel and butterscotch ice cream toppings. Those Fluffernutters looked like they weren't having any fun lined up with the ice cream toppings. They seemed out of place with those ice cream toppings who never got the notoriety that the Fluffernutters got. It's very insulting.

The years 1965-1968 had to have been Fluffernutter's prime years. I remember it being one of the most popular food with kids and the grown-ups like it, too. It was just so good and so easy to make, and it was cheap, back during that time. They had tv commercilas, the labels on the jars were original and fun to look at. If I remember right, the label was colorful and the drawing on the label looked like whipped marshmellows and it looked so good and inviting you couldn't hardly wait to get it home and open the jar and see how good it tastes. It was good by itself, but it was best with peanut butter.

But, it seems like it was one night in 1968, Fluffernutter's disappeared from our lives.

Seems like everybody loved Flufernutter sandwiches, but you know, in all the years since 1968, I have never ever heard anybody say anything at all, like, "Gee, I sure do miss Fluffernutter, I sure would love to have me one right now".

I had not given a thought of Fluffernutter until I read your post, and it took me back. Thank-you so much for bringing it up.

As I was typing and telling this story, I got very hongree for a Fluffernutter. I was thinking how good it was tasting. Soon as finish typing this up, I'll go to the store and get some. That was my thought.

Now that I'm done with this short trip back to my childhood, I'm not hongree for a Fluffernutter anymore.

I think I'll go to bed instead, and listen to the rain until fall asleep.

Make yourself a fluffernutter they're still good. As an adult I make mine between two caramel (carmel in this area) flavored rice cakes instead of white bread. Originally marshmellow fluff was sold as a hot chocolate topping instead of marshmello puffs. Who thought of combining fluff with peanut butter is beyond me but I still eat them every now and then

In NYC I would say the overstuffed meat sandwiches that one gets at a local deli.
