Charles Barkley showered praise on Uncrustables

Charles Barkley’s stint at the NCAA tournament gaming desk appears to involve undeclared work as a restaurant critic. During halftime of Saturday afternoon’s 4-5 game between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Duke Blue Devils in the East Region, Barkley revealed the most correct attitude he’s ever had in his life: Uncrustables are good.

“One of the greatest things that was ever created was these Uncrustables,” Barkley said.

Clark Kellogg was very happy that Barkley said so, which is the exact opposite of what he said about Barkley’s story Friday about showering in his full uniform when he was in college. Apparently Greg Gumbel turned him into a big Uncrustables guy since he didn’t grow up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

“Oh my god, I discovered these very late in life,” Kellogg said of something you can find in any grocery store. “Growing up, I didn’t like peanut butter and jelly, and then this guy told me about them, Greg told me about them, and I stacked them in the freezer at home.”

There’s no word on where the boys stand on other quick meals you can stash in your freezer like Hot Pockets or those microwavable pretzels that are really good.
