College
Football’s
“bowl
weekend”
had
an
unlikely
highlight
in
the
form
of
the
Pop-Tarts
mascot
who
instantly
won
fans
over.
January
is
the
most
stressful
time
for
college
football
fans
as
Bowl
Season
is
underway
signaling
that
the
end
of
the
season
is
near.
For
the
second
year
in
a
row,
a
mascot
has
transcended
the
actual
game
and
dominated
the
chatter
on
social
media.
Last
year
the
Cheez-It
mascot
stole
the
show
by
jumping
into
teams’
touchdown
celebrations
and
being
everywhere
all
at
once.
Now
this
year,
the
Pop-Tarts
mascot
made
waves
by
successfully
entertaining
the
masses.
After
being
captured
on
camera,
the
adorable
mascot
almost
immediately
went
viral
and
was
a
highlight
of
the
forgettable
Pop-Tarts
Bowl
matchup
between
Kansas
State
and
NC
State.
Once
the
Pop-Tarts
Bowl
championship
celebration
began,
the
Mascot
pulled
out
all
the
stops.
They
were
front
and
center
plugging
the
brand
and
dishing
out
viral
moments
back
to
back.
According
to
CBS
Sports,
the
mascot
was
played
by
the
same
person
who
performs
as
the
Chicago
Bulls’
“Benny
The
Bull.”
To
end
the
night,
The
Pop-Tart
climbed
atop
a
toaster,
waved
goodbye,
and
came
out
as
an
edible
Pop-Tart
much
to
fans’
delight.
This
sparked
dozens
of
videos
and
memes
going
viral,
and
you
can
see
the
best
ones
below.
