OT: Bowl mascot nightmare fuel
For some reason, this season it appears almost all the corporate bowl sponsors have their own mascots, which are all terrifying (see the Cheez-It King), but this must take the cake. In the Duke's Mayo Bowl, they have a mascot of a giant tub of mayo, and had it in the booth while the announcers took turns dunking food in mayo and eating it on air.
Clearly, their expression says it all.

This might be a bowl game you want to lose.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
Are the masks for COVID or the mayo?
December 30th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
I guess I'd rather be the winning coach in this one that the Down Home Hogshit Fertilizer Bowl.
December 30th, 2022 at 4:56 PM ^
Frankly, I can't wait for MSU to win the Horseshit Bowl. Tuck's bald, sweaty head awaits the most appropriate coronation.
December 30th, 2022 at 5:29 PM ^
Wait, I thought they did this for the WINNING coach?
December 30th, 2022 at 5:48 PM ^
Tucks comin’!
December 30th, 2022 at 2:29 PM ^
I enjoy mayo, particularly is on a sandwich or burger. However, I'm not sure about dunking. Also, these corporate sponsors are hilarious. The Cheez-It Bowl? really? Duke's Mayo Bowl? Ugh....
December 30th, 2022 at 2:38 PM ^
They featured some dude who was going to eat a large jug of that mayo. It looked like a half gallon to me. He was a big guy, I think an O lineman from another team. But how would he not get sick? Maybe that's the hope, that he pukes it all up. Let alone that stuff is 100% saturated fat.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:45 PM ^
Yes, I saw the clip of him in the stands eating mayo by the spoonful out of a HUGE jug. Do people actually eat mayo that way?
December 30th, 2022 at 2:51 PM ^
I think mayo is gross. I'd rather wipe it off the sandwich than drink it.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:05 PM ^
Not like its the first time. I watched an olineman for the Washington Sentinels down dozens of eggs before a game and then puke them up in the huddle. Wasn't pretty.
December 30th, 2022 at 7:15 PM ^
Yeah but then them all moved the Huddle together to get sway from the smell. First thing they did as a team
December 30th, 2022 at 3:07 PM ^
I love Duke's mayo and even dip fries in it from time to time, but downing it by the spoonful or jug just makes my stomach turn.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:16 PM ^
Yeah, Dukes is some top notch mayo but there are limits.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:32 PM ^
Really gross. I hope they paid him a bunch of money to do that.
December 30th, 2022 at 6:58 PM ^
There's a video of Will Levis putting Duke's mayo in his coffee and drinking it. That's when I knew he'd be a Detroit Lions draft pick.
December 30th, 2022 at 8:11 PM ^
He just needs to add some kneecaps...
December 30th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
Can it be possible that one sells enough marginally additional mayo to justify the cost of sponsoring a bowl? Or even Cheese-its. I guess I don’t understand marketing/branding, but if your margin on a big jar of mayo is fifty cents (?), you have to sell a ton of it to make your nut.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:41 PM ^
I'd hate to be the analyst responsible for attributing sales to the bowl game.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:48 PM ^
I have wondered this same thing. I don't know what it costs to sponsor a bowl game, but I'm sure it is astronomical. I mean, it must be worth it.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:53 PM ^
It could be worth if it gets people to drink jugs of mayo from a brand I never heard of before.
December 30th, 2022 at 8:03 PM ^
Duke's is some good mayo - way better than Kraft! Still not good enough to drink, though. I recommend trying it.
December 30th, 2022 at 5:55 PM ^
Well, from my time in the MMB in the 90’s, 2 out of 4 of our bowl sponsors went out of business fairly soon afterward: Builder’s Square (‘95 Alamo Bowl) and Comp USA (‘99 Citrus Bowl).
December 30th, 2022 at 3:18 PM ^
They got me a a couple years ago. Went out and looked for it. Honestly better than the stuff I was using.
December 30th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
I think you're vastly underestimating the mark up on everyday goods.
December 30th, 2022 at 6:15 PM ^
I’m from Detroit. Honestly, never heard of Duke’s Mayo (only hellmans and Miracle Whip) until the bowl game a couple years ago. So it worked somewhat.
December 30th, 2022 at 7:04 PM ^
The real Bill Brasky uses mayo as a personal lubricant
with grizzly bears.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:37 PM ^
Not gonna lie, I enjoy the heck out of the fact that the Duke's Mayo Bowl and Cheezit Bowl are weird, crazy and silly. If you don't have the grand tradition of the Rose Bowl, go on, carve out some space and an identity of your own.

RIP Poulan Weed Eater Bowl

Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl:
December 30th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
Is that an actual bowl game now?
December 30th, 2022 at 5:32 PM ^
Yup. It was on broadcast TV, too.
December 30th, 2022 at 2:46 PM ^
Fun fact: mayo that is not homemade does not spoil. Whether its Dukes, Hellman's, Heinz, etc. they will not spoil. You can store it at room temp if you want...even after opening the jar.
December 30th, 2022 at 4:33 PM ^
I feel like you're trying to ruin some people's new year's. This can't be true.
December 30th, 2022 at 5:00 PM ^
It's not. It's an excellent way to get salmonella.

I can testify to this, after eating a sandwich left over from a picnic. The results were spectacular, but I will spare the details.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:06 PM ^
Dude. Just wrong.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:10 PM ^
You know what they put on French fries in Holland instead of ketchup? Mayonnaise. I seen them do it man they drown them in that shit.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:14 PM ^
I grew up eating that. But even better than either one is using both mayo and ketchup.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:23 PM ^
Fancy sauce!!!
December 30th, 2022 at 4:56 PM ^
Mayo and mustard. FIFY
December 30th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
Boricua style.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:15 PM ^
That's some fucked up shit.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:37 PM ^
What do they call a quarter pounder with cheese?
December 30th, 2022 at 3:46 PM ^
2 am at the Tastee Diner in Bethesda not long after Pulp Fiction came out. They had a burger on the menu called the Royal Cheeseburger. Of course, like a smartass, I order "the Royale with cheese".
A tired waitress full of attitude says, "I've never heard that before."
December 30th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
Did you ask her for a tasty beverage to wash it down? Or, should i say tastee beverage?
December 30th, 2022 at 3:37 PM ^
I spent a bunch of time in Belgium and they do it there too. In fact, french fries are the part of the "national food" of Belgium, moules frites (or mussels and fries in english) and they have fritteries on most street corners where you can walk up and get some french fries with mayo to go.
it's delicious
December 30th, 2022 at 4:38 PM ^
Canadiens also eat fries with mayo.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:10 PM ^
As much as I enjoy mayonnaise, I don't know that I would want to be doused in it, especially when there is likely to be no large vat of tuna nearby.
December 30th, 2022 at 3:19 PM ^
Not his first time swallowing something gross.
