The Pop-Tarts Bowl’s trophy is scrumptious

The Pop-Tarts Bowl could have the best trophy of any bowl game

The first Pop-Tarts Bowl will take place on Thursday.

The game matches North Carolina State and Kansas State.

The stakes will be high once the schools get a look at the trophy that goes to the winner.

They will want s’mores.

We just got a reason to want Notre Dame in the Pop-Tarts Bowl

Don’t say you don’t want to see this.

With Notre Dame waiting to see what bowl game it will be invited to, speculation about it is running wild. At this point, your guess is as good as mine. But what if I told you there now is something to look forward to should the Irish play in the renamed Pop-Tarts Bowl? College football insider Nicole Auerbach has the scoop:

Yes, you read that right. If the Irish are invited to the Pop-Tarts Bowl and win it, they will be helping themselves to a bite out of the giant Pop-Tart that is serving as the game’s mascot. Now isn’t that better than the thought of [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] having mayonnaise poured on him after a Duke’s Mayo Bowl victory?

To make things even more interesting, the Irish won this bowl in 2019 when it was the Camping World Bowl. So it’s not out of the question to see them in this game again. I personally am rooting for it because who doesn’t love Pop-Tarts?

The Cheez-It Bowl is now the Pop-Tarts Bowl

The Cheez-It Bowl is no more, now we will see the first Pop-Tarts Bowl in 2023.

There is now a new bowl sponsor for the annual game featuring the ACC and Big 12.

The Dec. 28 game will now be known as the Pop-Tarts Bowl according to a press release from Florida Citrus Sports. Last season it was known as the Cheez-It Bowl and featured the Florida State-Oklahoma matchup. Ultimately the Seminoles were able to pick up the win, their 10th of the season.

The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl will remain the same and that game will kick off on Jan. 1 featuring a matchup of the Big Ten and SEC. The newly named Pop-Tarts Bowl will kick off at 5:45 ET and will be live on ESPN.

“Since turning toast and jam into an ingenious toaster pastry almost 60 years ago, Pop-Tarts has always been about making the world more fun, more unexpected and more delicious for fans of all kinds,” said Heidi Ray, Senior Director of Marketing, Pop-Tarts. “We’re ecstatic to be the new title sponsor of the Pop-Tarts Bowl with our partners at Florida Citrus Sports and cannot wait to host Crazy Good experiences for fans and players alike in Orlando, and for those joining us from home.” via Florida Citrus Sports press release

It remains to be seen if Pop-Tart will have anything like what we saw from Cheez-It.
