The Guinness World Records' record for the most sandwiches made in one hour is 20,975 and was achieved by Youth Central & Cenovus Energy Inc. (both Canada) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on 1 October 2014.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most people making sandwiches simultaneously; it is 1,363 and was achieved by TangoTab and Friends (USA), at the Hilton Anatole Dallas in Dallas, Texas, USA, on 22 February 2014.

 During the hour-long creation of the 26,710 sandwiches, the team used 2,210 loaves of bread, 2,550 pounds of peanut butter, and 2,065 pounds of jelly.

   By the end of the hour, all of the sandwiches were wrapped and packaged for immediate delivery to a variety of area charities and organizations. The event was in support of Which Wich's newly launched philanthropic campaign, Project PB&J®, where for every PB&J sandwich purchased in a Which Wich location, the company donates a PB&J to a local cause and banks one for their global initiative trust.

   "Today, we used a lot of peanut butter and a lot of jelly but most of all we used a lot of love, which is the secret ingredient in our PB&J sandwiches," said Jeff Sinelli, founder, CEO and "Chief Vibe Officer" behind the booming sandwich brand.

  "With these sandwiches we are able to feed thousands in the Greater Dallas area, and we couldn't be happier to provide food to those that need it most in our home city."

    The event was in support of Which Wich's newly launched philanthropic campaign, Project PB&J®, where for every PB&J sandwich purchased in a Which Wich location, the company donates a PB&J to a local cause and banks one for their global initiative trust.

    The brand has a goal of making and donating over 1-million sandwiches in 2015.

    Which Wich's Project PB&J® program aims to aid in the fight against hunger by allowing customers the chance to donate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to organizations in local communities who provide food for those in need.
    Which Wich founders, Jeff and Courtney Sinelli, share a love for the PB&J sandwich and after supporting hundreds of charitable causes over the last decade, Jeff and Courtney wanted a more direct path to helping people. It occurred to them that maybe they could change the world by giving away PB&Js.
