Pop-tarts and palm trees … I can dig it.
When it comes to iconic championship trophies, you think of the Stanley Cup, the Lombardi Trophy, the Commissioner’s Trophy, the Larry O’Brien Trophy … But ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got a new one on our hands courtesy of the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and it’s an instant legend.

Bowl games these days all have a gimmick. It’s become the in-thing to do with corporations taking over everything we love. And though normally some of us get annoyed with the Perpetual Income & Growth Investment Trust PLC Toilet Bowl, or something like that, the Pop-Tarts Bowl has given us a gimmicky bowl that’s, well, delicious.
And the most tasty thing from their festivities?

Squaring off for the Pop-Tarts Bowl trophy will be the Kansas State Wildcats and NC State Wolfpack, and the game takes place Thursday — a game I will surely be watching, betting on and waiting to see the celebration with that gorgeous piece of glory.
The trophy is a multi-tier design featuring a chrome football on top and some straight up cool chromed-out Pop-Tarts on the side. Oh, and to make it even better, there’s also functional slots where you can put real Pop-Tarts.
Bowl games don’t mean anything, my ass.
In all its glory!
