The Hellmann's® Build Your Perfect Sandwich Sweepstake






CELEBRITY CHEF BOBBY FLAY TEAMS UP WITH HELLMANN’S® AND BEST FOODS ® MAYONNAISE TO ENCOURAGE SANDWICH LOVERS TO SHARE THEIR PASSIONATE PREFERENCES FOR SANDWICH-MAKING TECHNIQUES


To help celebrate America’s passionate preferences for building the perfect sandwich, Hellmann’s® and Best Foods® are partnering with Chef Bobby Flay to show families how to make real, simple, delicious sandwiches and to uncover unique and personal sandwich-making techniques.   Beginning today, consumers can go to Facebook.com/hellmanns to share their sandwich-making tips, tricks, techniques and secrets.  They’ll also have the opportunity to build their perfect sandwich and enter the Hellmann’s® Build Your Perfect Sandwich Sweepstakes for a chance to win great prizes including a kitchen essentials bundle, grocery gift cards and Hellmann’s® and Best Foods® products.** 

“Everyone has an opinion about how to make the perfect sandwich, from the must-have ingredients to the highly personal sandwich architecture,” said Flay.  No matter the sandwich recipe, I always use Hellmann’s® mayonnaise to bring out the best in my sandwich, plus I have to cut the bread diagonally and only put condiments on one side of the bread to make it just right.   That’s my idea of a perfect sandwich.”

When it comes to how – and why – America’s sandwich fans build their perfect sandwich, the survey also reveals:

·         Mom always knows best:  Thirty-three percent of Americans who eat sandwiches credit their mom with teaching them how to make a great sandwich. And nearly three-quarters (71 percent) of moms with sandwich-loving kids say they serve their families the favorites they ate growing up.
·         Cutting-edge connoisseurs: Close to three-quarters (74 percent) typically take a knife to their sandwich after it’s been made, either slicing it diagonally (60 percent) or straight down the middle (38 percent).  More sandwich eaters in the Midwest than those in other regions make sure that their crusts always remain on the bread (73 percent vs. 63 percent). They also prefer to eat their subs whole – not cut in half (34 percent vs. 23 percent).
·         The condiment of choice:  When it comes to condiments, nearly two in three (61 percent) would choose mayo over mustard (22 percent) or oil and vinegar (8 percent) if they could only use one type of condiment on their sandwiches for the rest of their lives! When it comes to applying their mayo, many of those who use this creamy condiment prefer to spread the love right on the bread, either on both slices (52 percent) or only on one side (33 percent).

“The survey confirms everything we've always suspected about how people feel about the sandwiches they make and enjoy,” said Melissa Weingarten, Hellmann’s® and Best Foods® senior brand manager. “We’re delighted to be partnering with Bobby Flay once again as we help people everywhere build their perfect sandwich by offering a wide variety of inspiring recipe ideas and sandwich-making tips.” 

Hellmann’s® has been helping families prepare delicious food made with real, simple ingredients for more than 70 years, and now, as part of the brand’s ongoing commitment to real, simple ingredients, Hellmann’s Light®, Hellmann's® Canola Cholesterol Free Mayonnaise and Hellmann's® Reduced Fat Mayonnaise with Olive Oil are all made with 100 percent certified cage-free eggs offering more options to consumers seeking out ingredients to help perfect their favorite sandwiches.
