The Pop-Tarts Bowl got off to a hot start Saturday … with three giant Pop-Tart mascots stripping off their silver wrappings in the pregame festivities.
Here’s the deal … the bowl game — which has become a fan-favorite since the popular snackfood brand took over the naming rights last year — kicked off earlier Saturday in Orlando, Florida.

If you don’t know, the MVP of the game’s winning team gets to choose a flavor of giant Pop-Tart to toast — and the team gets to dig into the bad boy postgame.
To show the fans the options the winner would get to choose from, three Pop-Tart mascots ran out covered in the silver packaging fans of the food know all too well … and, as they were announced, they ripped off their silver cloaks.
The only time it’s okay to play favorites! Who’s gettin’ toasted tonight? #PopTartsBowl pic.twitter.com/x8YxvDWWwv

Watch the clip … the two teams are playing for either a Hot Fudge Sundae, a Wild Berry or a Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tart — and the mascots came out to get the teams hyped.
Not only will they get to partake in a giant Pop-Tart, but check out the trophy … a toaster has been attached to the top of it — and, it can be used to heat up real Pop-Tarts!

Remember … last year, one of the mascots was “sacrificed” when Kansas State defeated North Carolina State 28-19 — with the Wildcats digging in and eating him. Clearly he’s fine though — ’cause he was resurrected during a break in the action today.
Unclear who’s going to win this one — Miami is favored by 3.5 points — but, one thing is for sure … victory has never tasted so sweet!
