What's Happening?
The Pop-Tarts Bowl, a unique sports event, took place featuring a game between the BYU Cougars and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. This event is known for its unconventional and entertaining approach, incorporating
edible Pop-Tarts mascots. The mascots, including a notably muscular strawberry Pop-Tart, added a whimsical element to the game. The event, held at Camping World Stadium, included various Pop-Tarts-themed foods such as deep-fried toaster pastries and Pop-Tarts nachos. The game itself was competitive, with Georgia Tech nearly scoring a late touchdown, but ultimately, the BYU Cougars secured the win. The event concluded with a playful ceremony where mascots were 'toasted' in a giant toaster, a tradition of the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
