College football fans mourned the death of the Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot after Kansas State’s victory

December 28, 2023 9:48 pm ET

The Pop-Tarts Bowl is no doubt a college football fan favorite after Thursday night’s showing. Between the non-edible mascot’s iconic entrance and its other shenanigans throughout the game, college football fans were truly blessed with some good food during the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

However, all good things must come to an end, and after the Kansas State Wildcats bested the NC State Wolfpack 28-19, fans had to say goodbye to the Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot. It’s been known for some time that this bowl game would feature an edible mascot and after an elaborate ritual that saw the (non-edible) Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot lowered into a toaster, we finally feasted our eyes on the sweet, edible treat itself.

Yes, really. It’s a ceremony you absolutely have to watch to believe.

Everything about this moment was perfect. From the Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot’s bittersweet final moments to Kansas State finally digging into the edible creation, this was a moment college football fans will never forget.

And on social media, fans took to giving the Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot a final farewell as it was eaten on national television for our enjoyment.
