Football fans are loving the design of the Pop-Tarts Bowl Trophy after it was unveiled on Sunday.
This year, the Miami Hurricanes will play the Iowa State Cyclones in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Last year, the Kansas State Wildcats won the bowl game with a 28-19 victory over the NC State Wolfpack.
On Sunday, the trophy for the bowl game was unveiled to the public. And here’s where it gets even cooler: Aside from the slick design of the trophy itself, it includes a fully functional built-in toaster:
