Jaromir Jagr Loves Peanut Butter
There may only be one thing that Jaromir Jagr, the eighth leading scorer in NHL history, loves more than doing his famous salute to the crowd after scoring a goal. This thing he loves is a creamy (and sometimes crunchy, but he's not into anything that perverse) spread that has been a staple of American households for generations and calls jelly its best friend. If you guessed peanut butter (or if you simply read the title of this post), you would be correct. It makes sense. Jagr in his prime may have been the smoothest player to ever lace up skates. Creamy even. Let's face it, they're a match made in heaven, or on Wonderbread with the crusts cut off.
Jagr's fascinating and protein-rich condiment first hit store shelves in 1996. Jagr was a superstar at the time, one year removed from his first of five Art Ross trophies for leading scorer in the NHL. Naturally, endorsements were flying his way. Michael Jordan chose sneakers. Jaromir Jagr chose peanut butter. I think we all know who made the right choice. You can't eat sneakers, but if you could, I bet they'd taste better with 'Jagr's Creamy Peanut Butter' on them.
The only thing better than 'Jagrs Creamy Peanut Butter' might be the shirt he's sporting in the picture to the right. The only thing better than his shirt might be his mullet. It makes the "business in the front, party in the back" look the 93' Phillies proudly displayed look like "high and tight" military fades by comparison.
If you're a fan of collecting bizarre sports memorabilia, or just want to live dangerously and see how your body reacts to eating expired peanut butter (not recommended), you can purchase Jagr's Creamy Peanut Butter on eBay right now! Starting bid is just $10.00. STEAL OF THE CENTURY.
