It’s kind of ironic. I just did an ad, uh, for cacao bliss. Talk about those sweet cravings and. Here’s another story about sweets that broke over the weekend that I could not believe. So I’ve talked about this in the past.
I am obsessed with Uncrustables. I didn’t eat them for a long time and then obviously since I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I haven’t eaten them as much. I’ll have them occasionally here and there, but it’s not a snack, obviously a go to snack because it is just nothing but sugar and processed food.
So you would think that athletes, people that are in the top 1 percent of their profession would probably stay away from a snack like Uncrustables, right? Come to find out, there was a story about The weekly consumption of Uncrustables across all NFL teams, and this is fascinating to me, because I just didn’t think this would be a snack that NFL teams would have around the locker room.
You know, they probably all have spreads, and You walking in the locker room, snacks, you know, probably fruit, carrots. Yeah, I don’t know what’s in the locker room, but what shocked me was that there’s even the thought of Uncrustables. Hey, take one as you head out to the field. So they had a breakdown of all what?
Six, like literally 24 of the 32 NFL teams and the weekly Uncrustable consumption leading the way. Is the Denver Broncos. They consume 700 uncrustables a week, the team, not one person, the team. And then the Seahawks are at three 20, the Jaguars at three 15, the dolphins at 300 Atlanta at two 50, the giants at two 40, by the way, Every single one of those teams outside of Denver, I think is a 500 team or worse.
So maybe you should swap out the Uncrustables shitty teams for, I don’t know, protein bars. I love me some Uncrustables and don’t come at me with fucking strawberry Uncrustables. No, thank you. I’m a grape guy through and through. I just, I don’t get strawberry jelly. I’m sorry. Never have, never will. Tastes like ass.
No, no, don’t like it. Give me grape every day of the week and twice on Sundays. But I’m blown away that NFL teams are consuming this by the hundreds on a weekly basis. The Saints are only at 50 a week. That’s literally like, one a person, one day of the week. How are some teams consuming 700 and some are consuming 50?
Dallas Cowboys, 75. Chiefs, 80. So yeah. That’s not a lot. Why is this even a snack? And this isn’t some made up thing. This is done by the athletic, which is a very reputable online sports site. 24 of the 32 NFL teams provided the athletic with approximate ranges for weekly uncrustables eaten. And that was the graphic that showed.
So 24 teams. I’m just like, what? How is this even a thing? Why are top of the line athletes? Now, maybe it’s the offensive lineman that is eating this stuff and not the receiver that has 1 percent body fat. I don’t know. Because it doesn’t say who’s eating them, it just says how many are consumed by each team and each team sent in their actual amount.
The Denver Broncos are consuming twice as many as any other team in the league. And they’re actually playing well. They’re at five wins already on the year. By the way, anybody that has followed the sports daily, did you know that my best bet on NFL win total over unders for the year was on the Denver Broncos over five and a half wins.
And here we are eight games into the season and they’re five and three. So unless they go, Oh, and nine the rest of the season, I’m going to win my bet. Shit. They can go one and eight. I’m still going to win my bet. Cause all I got to do is win one more game. I just. The Denver Broncos. Hey, good for you on the uncrossables.
It’s just that the remaining teams in that top six Seattle, Jacksonville, Miami, Atlanta giants, only Atlanta is over 500 and they’re five and three. Everyone else sucks.
I blows me away. I thought those type of athletes literally only put good shit in their body. Apparently not. Finally wanted to end with this. Last week talked all week about how Back to the Future day, October 21st, last Monday, was the day that Marty and Doc and Jennifer went to the future. Well, October 25th was this past Friday.
And October 25th in the Back to the Future trilogy into the 26th was the day that Marty went back to 1955. The movie, when it opens in 1985, Back to the Future 1, is October 25th, 1985. Well remember, Doc tells him, meet me at Lone Pine’s Mall. Twin Pines Mall. Lone Pines Mall. Lone Pine. Twin Pines. Twin Pines Mall.
At 1am. Well, 1am obviously was the next day, so October 26th. So, Back to the Future had a meetup. Lone Pine slash Twin Pines mall, which is the 20 Hills mall in Southern California off the 60 freeway. I’ve been there once myself, long time ago, and I had been seeing it being reported on Instagram, like, Hey, there’s going to be an appearance.
There’s going to be DeLoreans there. There’s going to be some cars from the movie. And the woman who played Jennifer in the first film, not Elizabeth Shue, who played her in two and three, the woman who played Jennifer in the first film was going to be there signing autographs. And I went to the Instagram page over the weekend on Saturday and they posted, there were thousands of people there.
Man, I’m telling you, if I was in Southern California, which I will be in a couple weeks, if I was in Southern California, I 1000% would’ve driven out there just to be part of Back to the Future reunion night, whatever they were calling it. But it looked really cool. You can, uh, you can go to Back to the Future HQ on Instagram if you wanna see videos and pictures of that night, but I knew people would show up for this thing because.
As much as I talk about Back to the Future, I know that there are people out there, thousands of people out there, just like myself, who are just obsessed with the movie and the franchise and look like a really cool event.
