Toobworld is full of inanimate objects that talk. Some of them are due to reincarnation, like the car in 'My Mother The Car', Milton the Toaster in those Pop-Tarts blipverts, and the Geisler shopping cart in the commercial for Geisler Supermarkets.
But there could be other reasons for other talking objects, including this talking sandwich:
In the TV reunion movie "I Still Dream Of Jeannie", the genie's twin sister (known as Jeannie II because their mother was an "efficiency expert") played a dirty trick on Jeannie I. She reminded the head of the genies that a genie on Earth cannot go more than 3 months without an earthly master. And since Colonel Nelson was off on a top-secret space mission and technically no longer "earthly", Jeannie had to find a new master.
What happened since then?
I think Jeannie II eventually found herself in the same straits as her sister and she was forced to get a new master. But that doesn't mean she had to be happy about it.
Here's a pozz'bility: the master chosen by Jeannie II was some schmuck who worked public relations for the orange juice industry's advisory board. Perhaps Jeannie didn't choose him at all; maybe he gained control of her genie bottle and forced her to do his bidding.
Of course, he may not have trusted her; he probably figured he should test her abilities to serve him first. He decided to start off simple with his wish-list.
And so he commanded her - and I'm sure you saw this coming a mile away - "Make me a sandwich."
And now that schmuck is stuck living with his brother's family* where at least he's relatively safe from being eaten.......
So long as that growing teen doesn't need to keep stoking that bottomless pit
BCnU!
* At least it should be his brother's family since that's how such sitcoms work. Besides, you're less likely to get eaten by family....
