One of the highlights of this year's football bowl games was watching the Duke's Mayo Bowl. Last year's bowl fun, but it was missing key component. At the end of the game, Gatorade was poured on the winning coach. Cameron and I, along with the rest of the nation, were completely disappointed. We were sure that the cooler would be filled with mayonnaise.
Someone associated with EPSN and the bowl game must have read all of the Twitter feeds complaining about the lack of mayo at the celebration last year and decided to rectify it this year. All week long the media hype on the four and a half gallons of Duke's Mayo that would be dumped on the winning coach was enormous. Cameron and I definitely tuned in to the game. Neither of us cared if South Carolina or North Carolina won, we just wanted to see the mayonnaise dump. It was as much fun as we expected it to be and as added bonus Duke's Mayo donated $10,000 to charity in the coach's name.
As entertaining as it was watching the end of the game, I enjoyed the announcers even more. At different points of the game, they would break away from the game to try different foods dipped in Duke's mayo. Oreos and donuts were two of their favorites. I couldn't imagine mayonnaise on either of those two. One of the food items did catch Cameron's eye - an Uncrustable peanut butter and jelly sandwich with mayo as a topping. Once he saw that, he instantly decided that he would make the new sandwich his lunch choice on Monday when Bethany returned to school. All weekend long, he posted on SnapChat about it. He had a lot of friends and family members question his thought process, but he decided to go through with it anyway. Last night we bought the sandwiches and mayonnaise and today Cameron packed them in his lunchbox. Once he arrived home, he was proud to report that he had completed the challenge. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to keep the sandwich down afterward. I have to say that I wasn't surprised by that at all.
