Ant-Man And The Wasp: 21 Easter Eggs & References Explained

19. Peanut Butter & Jelly

As with the first Ant-Man movie, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) lovingly refers to his adorable daughter Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson) as "peanut", and in the sequel, we also learn that Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) has always referred to Hope (Evangeline Lilly) as "jelly bean."

Anyone who's ever eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich should be able to appreciate the link between these two cutesy pet names.

They're both pretty unimaginative monikers at the end of the day, but using two inextricably linked food stuffs as pet names is an agreeably bizarre way to tie the Lang and Pym families together.
