One of the newest foods Arizona Cardinals fans will be treated to this season at State Farm Stadium is sure to give dentists a headache: a cotton candy burrito.
Craft Culinary Creations executive chef Sean Kavanaugh told Fox News Digital that the creation was inspired by a similar item he saw in Las Vegas.
“I wish I could say I made it up, but I saw it at an ice cream parlor in Las Vegas,” he said in a telephone interview.

The sugar-coated item is a mix of cotton candy, ice cream, candy and cereal, according to a statement from the Arizona Cardinals, who said it and the other new items are “designed for the modern fan.” (See the video at the top of this article.)
The Cardinals describe the offering as “cotton candy-flavored ice cream topped with Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, marshmallows, Skittles, mini M&M's, gummy bears and sprinkles all wrapped in a melt-in-your-mouth cotton candy coating.”

“We just filled it with candy and cereal and then ice cream,” Kavanaugh said.

News that the Arizona Cardinals would be selling a burrito with cotton candy instead of a tortilla and ice cream instead of rice went viral online shortly after the team's media day, leading to a change of plans in terms of where the item would be sold.
Initially, the cotton candy burrito was going to be exclusive to the club level of State Farm Stadium, Kavanaugh said.
That changed after the article went viral online.

“We are making a laptop [food stand] “In our main lobby and now our upper lobby is also lending it,” he said. “So it's available on all levels.”

So far, following the NFL preseason, the reaction to the cotton candy burrito has been good, Kavanaugh said.
“All [who has] “I ordered one, I'm excited about it and I loved it,” Kavanaugh said.
“My teeth itch just looking at him.”
He said there was a mixed reaction online, which he thought was “both funny and very strange.”
On Reddit, an image of the burrito was widely shared across the website, including on food- and sports-related pages, prompting a variety of humorous responses.

“If I was seven years old, I'd be in heaven seeing this. If I tried this now, I'd go to heaven,” said user “ZappaOMatic.”

“This sounds like a nightmare, but I'm embarrassed to say that I would definitely try it,” admitted user “mrb4.”
It's possible to eat the cotton candy burrito like a standard tortilla burrito, Kavanaugh told Fox News Digital, but that “depends on how dirty you want to get.”

The article is “definitely shareable,” Kavanaugh noted, since “it's pretty big when we get it up and running.”
But above all, Kavanaugh stressed that the cotton candy burrito is “fun,” from its concept and creation to the viral reaction it generated.

“It's very funny and it's a funny article. That's why we're doing it,” he said. “I don't know how… [else] to describe it.”
The Cardinals will play the Los Angeles Rams in their home opener on Sunday, September 15.
