“Since turning toast and jam into an ingenious toaster pastry almost 60 years ago, Pop-Tarts has always been about making the world more fun, more unexpected and more delicious for fans of all kinds,” said Heidi Ray, senior director of marketing for Pop-Tarts. “We’re ecstatic to be the new title sponsor of the Pop-Tarts Bowl with our partners at Florida Citrus Sports.”

Most recently, the game was known as the Cheez-It Bowl.

“We’re excited to partner with Pop-Tarts and look forward to welcoming another one of America’s most beloved brands to Orlando,” Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan said.

Cheez-It will remain the sponsor of the Citrus Bowl, also organized by Florida Citrus Sports and held at Camping World Stadium.

The 78th Cheez-It Citrus Bowl will kick off at 1 p.m. on New Year’s Day and will air on ABC.
