National Sandwich Month --

Here's some sandwich stats from Redbook:

  • 2.19 billion Oscar Mayer bologna sandwiches are eaten each year. That works out to more than 6 million daily, or 69 every second.
  • 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are eaten by the average child by the time he graduates from high school.
  • 5,440 pounds is the weight of the largest sandwich ever made it was corned beef by Wild Woody's Chill and Grill in Roseville, MI, in 2005.
  • New York-based restaurant Serendipity 3 has earned a Guinness World Records title after crafting the most expensive sandwich ever. The confidently named "Quintessential Grilled Cheese" is sold for an eye-watering $214.
  • A grilled cheese sandwich said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary sold on eBay in 2004 for $28,000.
  • 41 grams of fat are in an Elvis sandwich which is white bread, butter, smooth peanut butter, and banana. The King himself is reported to have eaten 12 in a single sitting.
