Minnesota boy chosen as a finalist in national sandwich competition

| No Comments

When Jif created a contest asking for the "Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwiches," Sullivan Jacobs answered their call.

A first-grader from Mankato, Sullivan is one of five finalists in the running for a $25,000 college fund and $10,000 for educational products, the Mankato Free Press reported.

The Blue Monkey Pita, as named by Sullivan, is a healthy concoction that combines blueberries, agave nectar, banana, maple syrup and peanut butter on whole-wheat pita bread.

When asked how this unique blend of ingredients came to be, Sullivan explained that he wanted french toast for breakfast, but his 4-year-old brother wanted peanut butter and bananas, according to the Pioneer Press.

Sullivan and his family are headed to New York where he will appear on the Today show, and the Blue Monkey will be put to the test.

The winner will be announced on March 30.
