The MVP of the Pop-Tarts Bowl will get to choose which flavor will be eaten by the winning team.
Last year’s game was the debut of the edible mascot, with the Kansas State Wildcats chowing down on Strawberry after their 28-19 victory over the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
The 2024 Pop-Tarts Bowl will air live from Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, on Dec. 28 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
