On PRNewswire, a news story provided by Kellanova informs readers of the new edible Pop-Tarts mascot for the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Pop-Tarts describes how the winning team of the College Football Pop-Tarts Bowl will be able to celebrate by eating the mascot. The process on how the team will be able to eat the mascot remains unclear, however, as the only description of how it will happen is a link to a Pop-Tarts advertisement.
This news story is vastly different than anything we/I have covered in class. This story is about an edible mascot for a college football game, nothing that particularly impacts the lives of many people. In addition, the one thing that I read this article for was to determine how the mascot would be edible, for which I was left without an answer. This story has very little in common with the news stories that I have been exposed to, perhaps the only similarity with some news stories could be the sensationalism (but not most news stories). The story just seems like an advertisement for Pop-Tarts, which I would be more inclined to purchase had they shown what their edible mascot would be, which they did not.
