As is now customary at the Pop-Tarts Bowl, another Pop-Tarts mascot has been sacrificed for the winners of the bowl game.
This year’s Pop-Tarts Bowl winners, the Iowa State Cyclones, chose the Frosted Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts flavor as their victory snack.
That meant the Frosted Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot earned the distinct honor of being lowered into the giant toaster and cooked for the Cyclones to enjoy.
There is quite literally no better way for this absurdly fun college football bowl game to end than watching one of the Pop-Tarts mascots sacrificed for the good of the sport.

Of course, tributes poured in for this dearly departed Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot.
The college football tradition of killing and eating the mascot has finished.

I will honour the Pop-Tarts Bowl in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of Cinnamon Roll and Strawberry shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.

Hey, if Frosted Strawberry can make it back to life, maybe Cinnamon Roll can, too? One can dream.
