We’ve seen a Duke’s Mayo bath. We’ve seen a Cheez-Its bath. But get ready for bowl season’s next big gimmick: Welcome the edible mascot of the Pop-Tarts Bowl. The bowl, which will take place on Thursday, December 28 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, announced that it will feature the first ever edible mascot of a bowl.
Very important news: The @PopTartsBowl will have the first-ever edible mascot.

The winning team will get to feast on the edible mascot after the game. But first, we have some questions:
- What flavor will the giant Pop-Tart be?
- Will there be a person inside of it, or will it just be a giant Pop-Tart with eyes and a mouth drawn onto the frosting?
- Will every player get to take a bite, or will it be more of a coach thing?
- Most importantly: Will the Pop-Tart be toasted? People do eat cold Pop-Tarts, but we find they’re just being lazy.
The bowl lineups will be announced on Sunday, December 4, so check in then to find out which college football teams will have a chance to participate in this historic bowl season moment.
