Football Fans Are Making A Pre-New Year's Toast To These 'Deranged,' 'Sexy' Pop-Tart Mascots

"And now it's time for America's Greatest Tradition: murdering a Pop Tart on live TV."
Several life-sized Pop-Tarts made it onto national TV on Saturday and college football fans had a crazy good time with the toaster pastry madness.
The No. 18 Iowa State Cyclones took on the No. 15 Miami Hurricanes in Orlando, Florida in a bowl game that’s cycled through several names over its 30-plus year history before landing on the Pop-Tarts Bowl last year.
Sports fans meme’d out the bowl game in its first go-around when a smiling, frosted strawberry-flavored Pop-Tart mascot was lowered into what looked to be a massive toaster and a giant, edible Pop-Tart slid out of the bottom of the set-up as if the mascot was toasted (they hopefully weren’t).
The game’s winning team, the Kansas State Wildcats, presumably ate the edible Pop-Tart at the time.
But this year’s contest, which the Cyclones won 42-41, unwrapped a bizarre twist early on.
