The Pop-Tarts Bowl Is Truly The Most Unhinged American Thing I've Ever Seen, And The Internet Can't Get Enough

I need one of these for every food.

The 2023 Pop-Tarts Bowl was last night in Orlando, and it's easily one of the wildest things I've ever seen.

The game between the Kansas City Wildcats and the NC State Wolfpack featured an edible mascot named "Strawberry."

The whole thing was so incredibly unhinged.

The Pop-Tart lived a relatively short but happy life.

I love him so much. I will mourn him as he’s devoured in just mere hours pic.twitter.com/Y0GJa1vrRQ

At the end of the game, things got even weirder when the Pop-Tart was lowered into a giant toaster.

The Pop-Tart holding up a sign that says "Dreams really do come true" as it is lowered into a toaster to be cooked alive is the darkest thing I've ever seen https://t.co/ujJyD8i1Ml

this is an accurate portrayal of what Catholic doctrine teaches about Transubstantiation with the pop-tart as the body of Christ https://t.co/CL6ESLssDu
