NEW YORK — Bad news for Arizona dentists, but great news for sugar-addicted football fans. The NFL’s Arizona Cardinals unveiled a cotton candy burrito at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, for the 2024 season.
Think of it like a normal burrito, but instead of a tortilla, someone is wrapping sugary insides in sheets of cotton candy. The contents in question include cotton candy flavored ice cream, Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, marshmallows, Skittles, M&M’s minis, gummy bears and sprinkles, according to a press release from the NFL team.
The candy-wrapped burrito, which is priced at $15, is one of 50 new food items for Cardinals games at State Farm Stadium this season, senior vice president of media relations Mark Dalton said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
