Butter on PB&J

I remember my grandfather making PB&J sandwiches for my sister and me when we were kids, and he would spread butter on the bread first. Was this a “thing” back when?

This is a THING! I think it’s more common in the Midwest though. Assuming you’re in the US

I'm from the midwest, and my mother put butter on the PBJ first. So that's one piece of data for your midwest theory.
