Monday Overnight Open Thread - December 30, 2024 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings, and welcome to the final Monday night ONT of 2024. Nothing serious on the agenda tonight. Just some stuff to make your Monday a Funday! Thanks for stopping by. Wouldn't be as nice without you!

Make College Football Bowl Games Fun Again

The organizers of this past Saturday's Pop-Tarts Bowl did their part.

The second annual Pop-Tarts Bowl was nothing short of a sweet treat.

Amid the nail-biting matchup between Iowa State University and the University of Miami, which ended in a 42-41 victory for the Cyclones, Pop-Tarts caused chaos on the field.

At the 2024 bowl game, fans met three mascots, Hot Fudge Sundae, Wild Berry and Cinnamon Roll, via a stripping - sorry, unwrapping - reveal prior to the start of the game.

"just when you thought the pop tarts bowl couldn't get ANY sexier," one X user wrote about Hot Fudge Sundae's reveal, which involved the mascot ripping his aluminum wrapper open right down the middle.

Aside from the mascots, the game featured plenty of Pop-Tarts references. Sprinkles were painted along the sidelines and the winning team's trophy featured a working toaster.

Instead of dumping gallons of Gatorade on each other after winning the game, players covered their coaches in tons of mini Pop-Tarts.

Some video highlights here

Having worked many years in retail in the 80s and 90s, your humble host has a personal appreciation for this guy's humor. If you've never worked in retail, it may not hit you the same way.

As you hit the stores for your Christmas returns keep this in mind. Very rarely does someone create a perfect video. This is one.

Looks like something that could have been in the the fantastic music video for the song "Take on Me" back in the 80s!

Bang!

Guilty as charged!

Anyone else lay the roll out and run a rock along the whole length to create a machine gun effect? If not, can we even be friends?

Are these things still available?
