FULL STORY:  National Sandwich Day is this Sunday.  Subway, Popeyes, and a bunch of other places have deals.

A poll for it looked at the most popular sandwiches in America.  Can you guess what #1 is?  Here’s a hint:  It’s not the healthiest.

2,000 people were asked to name the sandwiches they consider to be one of their “favorites.”  And good old GRILLED CHEESE took the top spot.

1.  Grilled cheese.  42% said it’s a favorite.

2.  Chicken sandwiches, 40%.  That included fried chicken sandwiches.

3.  Turkey, 30%.

4.  Ham, 27%.

5.  Tuna, 24%.

6.  Egg sandos, 21%.  That might also include egg salad.

7.  Peanut butter and jelly, 21%.

8.  Meatball subs, 19%.

Here are a few more sandwich stats . . .

1.  The average American eats six sandwiches a week, or just over 300 a year.  They make up around 30% of the average person’s diet.

2.  46% said they could eat ONLY sandwiches for the rest of their life, and it wouldn’t be a big deal.

3.  The top reasons we like sandwiches include:  They’re easy to customize with different ingredients, and they don’t require any cooking.

4.  The most critical components of a good sandwich are high-quality meat, good bread, the right condiments, and fresh vegies.

5.  How do you cut your sandwich?  Down the middle, or diagonal?  32% prefer them cut in half . . . 35% said diagonal . . . and 33% prefer to leave their sandwich intact.  They don’t cut it at all.
