Awards show hosts in need of a fun, non-threatening bit between categories know the power of passing out snacks to an audience of hungry celebrities. Ellen Degeneres passed out pizza at the 2014 Oscars, Chris Rock sold Girl Scout Cookies at the 2016 Oscars and on Sunday, Jimmy Kimmel handed out bags of peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches.

The kids of Stranger Things hit the aisles to pass out paper sacks full of sandwiches, juice boxes and a note from Kimmel's mom, Joan.

Silicon Valley star Kumail Nanjiani was lucky enough to snag a bag and tweeted the paper sack's contents, as well as a sweet message from Joan.
