After a number of people criticized his choice, Earnhardt pointed to Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich.
“The banana mayo sandwich combo reaction is always so passionate. What if you added peanut butter? That’s always an option you know,” he wrote an hour after posting the photo on Twitter.
ESPN’s Darren Rovell points out that Earnhardt has some kind of sponsorship deal with Hellmann’s mayonaisse.
Junior has a Hellman’s deal, but revealing that your favorite sandwich is MAYO + BANANA is next level. https://t.co/eidOGwPhUZ
