Dropout in the Press

Move over, Uncrustables. There’s now an official PB&J sandwich for NFL players — and it’s not the longtime favorite.

The NFL Players Association has a new official peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and Uncrustables are out. Somebody should check on the Eagles locker room. On Tuesday, the NFLPA announced its first licensing agreement in the food and nutrition category: JAMS peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The announcement sent shock waves through social media as Smuckers’ Uncrustable sandwiches have long held a PB&J monopoly in NFL locker rooms. In 2023, The Athletic found that NFL teams go through at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year — and the Eagles are no exception.

Move aside, Uncrustables. Ohio native releases new spin on classic PB&J backed by athletes

Ohio-based Smucker's and its Uncrustables brand of pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches may have some competition, thanks to one Ohio native's latest idea. Cleveland native Connor Blakley founded Jams, which his company describes as "the revolutionary reinvention of the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich," and it's available in the freezer aisles of more than 3,000 Walmart stores nationwide, according to a news release.
