The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies at the Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina, The New York Times reports.

The real highlight of the game, though, is the tradition of dumping 5 gallons of mayonnaise (Duke's, of course) on the winning coach's head.

Other condiment-related attractions include mayo bobbing (trying to catch mayo packets swimming in mayo) and mayo giveaways with team logos.

And for 2025, Flavor Flav was revealed as the Duke's Mayo celebrity mascot.

Duke's had a record day of online sales during the contest. They may-o be doing something right!
