The Pop-Tarts Bowl has announced that for the 2025 game, there will be six mascots and the “biggest sacrifice ever.”
The bowl game gained its popularity in 2023 when it included a live ritual where the winning team ate a giant, edible Pop-Tarts mascot that had been lowered into a toaster. The Pop-Tart held a sign that read, “Dreams Really Do Come True.” Kansas State won the game over NC State in 2023, and they were the team that enjoyed the Pop-Tarts.
Now in 2025, we will see six mascots at the Pop-Tarts Bowl. It makes you wonder what flavors will be at the bowl game this year.
The birth of the Pop-Tarts Bowl is an interesting story. After being named the Cheez-It Bowl, the name changed to the Pop-Tarts Bowl in 2023 after Kellogg’s had acquired the naming rights to the Citrus Bowl and moved the Cheez-It sponsorship to that game.
The new trophy for the Pop-Tarts Bowl was unveiled in December 2023, and it featured a football with two slots for Pop-Tarts. As mentioned earlier, the mascot “Strawberry” was lowered into a toaster and replaced with an edible replica for the winning team to eat.
In 2024, the Pop-Tarts Bowl left it up to fans to decide on the flavor that would serve as the mascot. The fans chose Cinnamon Roll, but Strawberry once again stole the show as he was resurrected following a tribute during the first half.
The Pop-Tarts Bowl has been a fan favorite for a couple of years now, and it appears that in 2025, they will bring the laughs to fans again.
