    Default Where do you find jelly packets?

    Shoot, just went to KFC for lunch specifically to grab some jelly packets, and they don't have grape jelly packets anymore. Does anyone know where to get squeezable jelly packets? I can order them online if I have to but don't need 200! Happy to buy food at a place where I can grab a handful.

    Minimus.biz sells them by the packet. I'm only used to jelly or jam in those little plastic containers. Is that what you are looking for? My local breakfast restaurant carries those. You might try Bob Evans or Denny's or a local diner as well.

    I was looking for Strawberry jam in a squeeze tube to cut down on the waste production, but all they have in the store are big 20 oz tubes, which is a bit more than I need for 6 days.

    Hardees or Bojangles might be worth checking.

    I've ordered from Minimus, too, when I need more than a couple of packets but less than hundreds.

    Remember that old fashioned diner? Try breakfast. - loads of Smuckers and Kraft.

    When someone from work gets a dozen biscuits in the morning to bring in for everyone, Mcdonalds puts a couple of handfulls of jelly packets in the bag. So we always have a pile of them with the condiments in our break room.

    Make sure you get a wide variety of flavors. It will keep everyday a new adventure.

    They are usually easy to find.
    Backpacking light, feels so right.

    Small, cheap, plastic squeeze bottle or Coughlins food tube. Pack your own and no sticky trash to contend with.

    Make sure you stick the traditional flavors like grape or strawberry. I had some of that Kentucky Jelly once and it tasted terrible.

    Yes, WOO gave a good suggestion. Many diners have those Smucker's packs(not really squeezable tubes though) in asst flavors. The other thing I've done is as Chiefiepoo said. Get a squeezable Coughlins or GoToob. The GoToob's are easier to refill/clean(they have a large mouth), are colored so you know what's in each one, can be used for toiletries or food, etc. I've found the GoToob's sold in a pack of 3 @ 3oz each tube at Harmon's, Cosmetics stores, Pharmacies, and even WalMarts for about $8-9. Put whatever you want in them. The caps stay on pretty tight and don't leak in my experience. I like taking along almond butter, tahini(sesame seed butter), peanut butter, hummus, ghee, etc
