It's not uncommon for pro teams to sell unnecessarily fatty yet incredibly delicious food items. The Twins offer a bacon cheeseburger Bloody Mary and the Diamondbacks will debut something called a churro dog this season.
But the Rangers are taking America's obsession with monster foods to a whole new level.
This season, Globe Life Park will be offering both chicken-friend corn on a cob and deep-fried S'mOres, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.
Rangers to sell S'mOres & chicken fried corn on a cob, debut bacon stand http://t.co/Sk3fljweAH pic.twitter.com/4sS3eFwU9T
— Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) March 18, 2015The chicken-fried corn on a cob will be sold for $5 while the deep-fried S'mOres will cost $8.
Oh, there will also be a vendor stand superficially devoted to bacon. From Rovell:
Fresh off the team's success of selling hundreds of pieces of bacon on a stick at each game last season, general manager of the Rangers' food and beverage operations Shawn Mattox said the team will also have a Just Bacon stand, where it will sell such items as candied bacon, bacon cotton candy and bacon beer.
"Bacon has been trending for a long time now, but the popularity hasn't died down," Mattox said.
Forget peanuts, hot dogs, and lemonade. You can literally eat and drink nothing but fried food and bacon at a Rangers home game. Why the Rangers are trying to fatten all of us up is anyone's guess, but it's hard to imagine anyone will say "no" to deep-fried S'mOres.
