Elvis didn’t die from poor nutrition. Still, the King’s mania for fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches couldn’t have helped. That doesn’t trouble Hershey’s Reese’s brand, which is launching limited-edition Elvis Cups with peanut butter and banana cream filling. There’s a broad pop-culture joke in there somewhere, I suppose. It would probably mention Cass Elliot, ham sandwiches and potential promotions from cold-cut purveyors. But that would be in extremely bad taste. Just like the Elvis Cup.
