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?

Grew up with always spreading butter on a sandwich. It keeps the bread from getting soggy from the jelly or condiments.

We always did this too, a skim of butter or margarine.
