Poptarts Bowl is finally here
- Thread starter CatManTrue
- Start date
Pop Tarts Bowl at Camping World Stadium. Going to be a picnic.
This bowl thing is out of control. Rose, Orange, Peach and so forth, fine. People naming bowls after their latest business venture is only self-serving and not in any way supportive of college football. Lots of bowl games, sure, but the commercialization is sick. No, really sick, and self-serving.
I'll say just one word and then get off your lawn: capitalism.
Both Cheez-Its and Pop Tarts are part of the emerging company Kellanova, the snack division of the company formerly universally known as Kellogg’s.
Not sure why it was deemed that Cheez-Its were in need of replacement, but it’s the same thing as replacing a bowl named for KFC with the new moniker of Taco Bell (both “Yum” brands).

Just wait until this and the Cheezits Bowl finally give us the Ozempic Bowl at Wegovy Stadium.
I'm not entirely unsympathetic, but didn't that ship sail like 15+ years ago???
Yes, however... soon, even the game ball will have a corporate sponsor, and when the announcer mentions the football, he or she will have to refer to its corporate name--"The Jiffy-Lube ball is at the Northwestern 26 yard line."
What if every yard line were sponsored?
"He's at the Jiffy Lube 25, the Exxon 20, the McDonald's 15, the Royal Crown Cola 10, the Nike 5, and it's a touchdown, brought to you by Ken-L-Ration Tenderchunks!"

7 Eleven would get really confusing.
This is becoming just too ridiculous. Judge's Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, but in fact is indeed turning into reality. When the networks have cartoon characters from upcoming movies superimposed in the stands, you know the s#$& is hitting the fan. Pretty soon it will be Christmas, brought to you by Amazon.
Christmas already is brought by Amazon
"I'm shocked, shocked to find out gambling is going on here"
"Your winnings, sir"
"Thank you."
CHZIT Citrus Bowl. Great Jan 1 game. Kelloggs also supported Sun Bowl. I like bowl games and the bowls supported are good games.
Definitely chocolate.
Here's the other poll question for the crowd: when is the last time you actually ate a pop tart?
Lordy, probably not since my 20s, maybe mid 30s at the latest - so about 30 years ago. I gave up cereals like Capn Crunch about the same time. I've graduated to the large containers of fresh bakery chocolate chip cookies at Costco now (not for breakfast, just my main sugar fix).
I have young kids so I eat leftover poptarts infrequently.
My favorite is either the half eaten strawberry or mostly whole brown sugar. Whatever they leave me.
I didn’t realize that this post should have been a poll. Given, naturally, that Rivals polls are the finest unscientific sources of market research that one can get for free.
Odd bowl names are one of the greatest aspects of the current CFB system.
I care; and others who consume Cheezits, Poptarts, and Gasparilla Weed Eaters do too.
Pop Tarts belong on a paper plate not in a bowl.
It's those f****** food scientists from Purdue. This. The Boilers deserve the Pop Tarts Bowl. Getting to a bowl game in 2023 should be a goal for NU, but the Pop Tarts Bowl should be avoided at all cost. It would make NU look even sillier than they have the past few years.
Last week. I stumbled across a box of unfrosted strawberry Pop Tarts at K Mart a few days ago. It had been years since I had one before that though.
Then why so much response about a Pop Tart bowl?

This last week which included a few days ago - premised upon Sunday being the beginning of a new week. At least that is how my wall calendar divides the weeks. On the other hand is that non-Biblical with resting on the 7th day as Sunday?
