An apple a day did not get the Kelce brothers into the Super Bowl.

Jason Kelce added that there was also the occasional “Hamburger Helper.”

The brothers also refuted the claim that they never drank soda. 

“We had more soda in our basement than WaWa’s have in their refrigerators,” Jason Kelce joked. 

But both Kelce brothers admitted that one of their childhood favorites that they still enjoy, especially on game day, is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
