As if 2018 couldn’t get any more crazier…
Minor League Baseball will do anything to get fans into their stadium. No promotion is too wacky. And this year, the Erie Seawolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, stepped up to the plate and said, “Hold my beer.”
What you see above is the special food product for their Sugar Rush promotion – a day dedicated to all things sweet. This pièce de résistance is the cotton candy hotdog. As Deadspin eloquently summarized, “a hot dog, but the bun’s been replaced by a cotton candy exterior, and the ketchup and mustard are now Nerds™.”
According to the team’s website, several of the Seawolves tried this abomination. One player allegedly said, “it was not too bad.” Considering how sticky cotton candy is, I wouldn’t be surprised if the pitcher threw a no-hitter that night.
Maybe someone is a little too psyched for Wreck-It Ralph 2. Even Vanellope von Schweetz thinks this is going a bit too far.
