The Strawberry Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot rose from the dead during this year's edition

The first Pop-Tarts Bowl featured the brave Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot sacrificing itself for the hungry Kansas State Wildcats.

We thought that was the end of the Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot, but the Pop-Tart Bowl gods had other plans.

Even though a memorial statue had been displayed in the Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot's honor outside Orlando's Camping World Stadium, Saturday's Pop-Tarts Bowl brought our beloved Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot back to us.

As the big board showed a tribute video in the Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot's memory, a half-eaten Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot stood high at the stadium and waved to all the guests in attendance.

He's alive! Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot lives! Sure, it looks like the Terminator with a damaged face, but who cares? Our sweet, sweet Strawberry Pop-Tart mascot has returned to us.
