The Pop-Tarts Brand Introduces Team Sprinkles and Team Swirls
References: prnewswire
The Pop-Tarts brand is expanding its promotional activities for its titular college football bowl game by introducing a thematic narrative centered on six Edible Mascots – three on Team Sprinkles and three on Team Swirls. The event is designated with the title 'The People's National Championship.'
This latest marketing effort is interactive as the public will be able to vote to select which group of three mascots will be ceremonially consumed by the winning team's players at the conclusion of the game — a spectacle the brand has labeled its most significant "sacrifice" to date.
Pop-Tarts introduced Team Sprinkles and Team Swirls to build on its momentum and perceived consumer enthusiasm for the game's previous, similarly unconventional mascot-related stunts.
