Orlando, FL – K-State is the first-ever Pop-Tarts Bowl champion by beating the NC State Thursday night 28-19. Pop-Tarts didn’t sell itself short by providing entertaining firsts before and after the game. The excitement started when the Pop-Tarts Bowl announced it would have the ‘first edible mascot’ and the winning team would get to devour it after the game.
Adding to that postgame excitement before the game even began, the live Pop-Tart had to make a grand entrance.
Oh my god the edible Pop-Tart mascot is here and has emerged from his firework-and-smoke-machine-enabled toaster.

It danced a little with both mascots…

But when the game was all said and done, only one team got to eat it. That team was K-State. It will go down in history. The first people ever to eat a deceased Pop-Tart was K-State head coach Chris Klieman and Pop-Tarts Bowl MVP Avery Johnson.
