It can never be said that a sports franchise won't find any way possible to make money, based on the Philadelphia Eagles' attempt to market the snow from their 28-22 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round game on Sunday.
The Eagles are selling snow collected from Lincoln Financial Field for $50 per pint.
Per the official listing on The Realest, which authenticated the snow to make sure you're getting the real thing, the pints will be delivered in insulated containers with dry ice and detailed instructions to protect the flakes from being ruined.
Will Stern of CLLCT.com noted the $50 price point was determined using the total number of points scored in the game and only 100 pints will be made available.
Considering the Eagles would only make $5,000 if they sell all 100 pints, it's far from the most egregious thing a sports organization has ever done to make money.
Of course, sports fans and memorabilia collectors are notorious for obsessively buying idiotic items just because it has a logo on it or it's from a historic game. We've all got something we look at now wondering what we were thinking.
Unfortunately, Eagles fans may not have a second chance to get official snow from another playoff game this season. The forecast in Philadelphia on Sunday for the NFC Championship Game is boring with calls for cloudy skies and temperatures between 25-44 degrees.
