In a move that could only be described as peak fandom, Philadelphia Eagles enthusiasts have rapidly snatched up all available pints of snow from the team’s recent playoff win over the Los Angeles Rams. The idea, to literally sell fans a piece of the game, has proven to be an icy-hot success. According to FOX29, the end zone snow from the NFC Divisional Round, packaged in "insulated containers with dry ice and detailed care instructions," was available for $50 a pint and sold out within just three hours after launch.
Yes, it's one hundred percent authentic frozen precipitation collected from Lincoln Financial Field, with the sales taking place via The Realest online platform. The team ensures that buyers are not blindly, to unknowingly ingest the game-day snow, as it could contain ground elements that are less than savory. This memorabilia frenzy has also extended to grass clippings available for purchase but let's stick to the snow for now. In a statement obtained by 6abc, the Eagles confirmed that the snow was "carefully preserved and authenticated," ensuring that the flakes of winter wonder are no ordinary slush.
Purchasing this unique memento wasn't without its costs beyond the base price. Those opting for delivery had to cough up an additional $15 shipping fee, while local fans had the opportunity to pick their orders up at the stadium ticket office. To preserve the chilly charm of the moment, the team announced that each snow pint would be shipped with a hefty 2 pounds of dry ice—talk about digging into one's pocket for a piece of the frosty action!
Setting aside the marketing spectacle and heading back to the field, the Eagles have their eyes on further glory as they’re slated to play against the Commanders in the NFC Championship game, as CBS News Philadelphia reports. Meanwhile, fans clinging to their precious pints might be hoping for a touch of magic or, perhaps, just a cool conversation piece. After all, who wouldn't want quickly to start thawing out the excitement of a winning game captured in a pint-sized winter diorama?
