NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. blew America’s culinary mind a few years back when he professed his love for banana and mayonnaise sandwiches.
In a tweet promoting sponsor Hellmann’s Mayonnaise that showed a photo of the snack, Earnhardt wrote “Making my favorite sandwich. I swear it’s delicious.”

I personally have never tried this sandwich as I think peanut butter and banana is about as far as I would take the ‘banana sandwich’, but apparently it is a local favorite in the south.

Earnhardt Jr. claims that you don’t need a lot of mayo to make the sandwich tasty…”just go easy on it” he told NBC Sports.
When asked if he would dip a banana into mayo and eat it, he replied, “Absolutely not.”
