==Overview==
"Sandwiches Time" was first recorded by Cuomo in [[2001]]. It was later demoed as a band, first at Sage and Sound Recording in late August, and then beginning in late December during the proper studio sessions for ''[[Maladroit]]'' at [[Cello Studios]]. The demo from Sage and Sound, as well as three demos from Cello, were released to fans on [[weezer.com]]. "Sandwiches Time" ultimately did not make the cut for ''Maladroit''. Weezer's A&R representative, [[Todd Sullivan]], was reportedly against the song's inclusion on the album.{{Citation needed}}
 
Cuomo's early demos of "Sandwiches Time" were released as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' in [[2020]].

The three versions that followed it were recorded in December and January 2002, as a part of the official ''Maladroit'' recording sessions. The 12/28 Version does not feature falsetto vocals by Cuomo and also has a different guitar intro. [[Todd Sullivan]] was supposedly against the inclusion of "Sandwiches Time" on ''Maladroit.'' During a Ustream video chat on June 7, 2011 in Austin, TX, [[Pat Wilson]] responded to a fan question regarding the song by saying: "''I love Sandwiches Time''" and continued to sing the chorus throughout the video{{citation needed}}.
