What does this mean?

0A magician (in the U.S.) says "Abracadabra" when doing a magic trick. "Ala peanut butter sandwiches" just sounds funny together. Children know what peanut butter sandwiches are (and eat them in great quantities) so it's just an expression to make children laugh.0-

0I know this expression is used when a magician uses a trick. What I want to know is the meaning of "Ala peanut butter sandwiches".02br
02br
00Would anyone explain it more? 0-

0It has no meaning. It is intended to make children who hear it laugh because it's silly.0-

0I'd never heard the expression. But it does remind me of the play on the Biblical quote: Man cannot live by bread alone; he must also have peanut butter.0-
