April 2nd is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day

National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day is observed on April 02, 2014. It celebrates the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich or PB&J is a sandwich, popular in North America, that includes a layer of peanut butter and either jam or jelly on bread, commonly between two slices, but sometimes eaten open-faced or with one slice folded over. 

A 2002 survey showed the average American will have eaten 2,500 of these sandwiches before graduating from high school. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich made from white bread, with two tablespoons each of peanut butter and grape jelly, provides 27% of a person's Recommended Daily Intake of fat and 22% of their calories.
