It’s been almost a year since the unforgettable Pop-Tarts sponsored bowl game between the Kansas City Wildcats and the North Carolina State Wolfpack. While the Wildcats emerged victorious, the real star of the show was Strawberry, the first-ever edible mascot. The sight of Strawberry being lowered into an oversized toaster, only to emerge without arms and legs, left a lasting impression on viewers. Despite the bizarre spectacle, the game went on, with the players eventually devouring poor Strawberry while Donna Summer’s music played in the background.
Now, the Pop-Tarts Bowl is set to make a return on December 28th, featuring teams from the Atlantic Coast and Big 12 Conferences. The question on everyone’s mind is whether Strawberry will make a comeback or if a new flavor will take the spotlight. In an unexpected twist, Pop-Tarts has teamed up with Spirit Halloween to offer fans the chance to dress up as Frosted Strawberry for Halloween. While it may be a fun way to pay tribute to the fallen mascot, it’s important to remember that the costume does not come with a guarantee of safety from overzealous friends.
As the excitement builds for the upcoming game, fans are eager to see what surprises Pop-Tarts has in store this time around. Will Strawberry make a triumphant return, or will a new flavor take center stage? One thing is for sure – the combination of Pop-Tarts and Spirit Halloween is sure to add an extra layer of fun to this year’s festivities. So get ready to show off your love for toaster pastries in style this Halloween, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll keep the memory of Strawberry alive in spooky fashion.
