Toast, US Patent #6,080,436A Patent for a varation on the theme of Peanut Butter and Jelly, UP Patent #6,004,596
James Randi on PB & J:
When I found out they'd issued a patent recently on "toast" and on a variety of the peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, I was sufficiently stunned, but this one is The Winner in the Stupid Field, hands-down. I cannot, in my widest imaginings (and I'm adept at that art, I assure you) come up with any means of turning a profit on 6,368,227, unless the intent is to close down playgrounds all over the globe.... Look it up, but be seated when you read it....

Thanks for the silly patents. My husband collects silly patents, I need to make sure he has those.
The one I asked about earlier he says is for a perpetual motion machine, but it's being reviewed.
He says food patents are really hard to do because there are no engineering specialties that are related. A close friend of his did food for years -- she hated it -- as a reward they made her an Administrative Law Judge.
A lot of it has to do with making food different colors. Design patents aren't as hard to get as utility patents.
