QR Code Link to This Post
This is a super rare, limited release novelty item that was a prize in the Snickers summer sweepstakes.
Only 76 sweeps winners received these.
Whether you are a Rome Odunze fan, a Chicago Bears fan, a Snickers fan or a collector of harder-to-find sports memorabilia - this is a terrific item for your collection.
This giant rubberized fist measures approximately 12 inches long and 8 inches wide.
It is truly a unique and different sports memorabilia item.
The knuckle side of the fist is emblazoned with a Snickers ice cream bar and the words “ALL CHILL. NO FUMBLES.” At the base of the fist is a facsimile signature of Rome Odunze’s autograph followed by “#1” and the words “LIMITED EDITION.” The fist is hollow with handle inside so you can easily insert your own hand and wear this. There is a hollowed out square on the side where you can keep your Snickers ice cream bar.
In their news release about this ‘gripper’ Snickers wrote: “Dropping your ice cream is one of the worst fumbles you can make – but lucky for us, Rome Odunze is one of the nation's best receivers. That's why, ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, SNICKERS® Ice Cream has enlisted top NFL wide receiver pick, Rome Odunze, to help fans hold onto their ice cream all season long with SNICKERS Ice Cream Chiller – a first-of-its-kind ice cream holder that captures Odunze's famous hands and keeps a SNICKERS Ice Cream bar nice and cold.”
“Known for his elite reception skills that propelled his team to the national championship game, Odunze's outstanding contested catch rate can help fans chill out knowing their SNICKERS Ice Cream is safe in his hands throughout all the excitement of one of the most stressful pre-season moments.”
"SNICKERS Ice Cream is excited to return to the NFL Draft for the second year in a row, and there is no one we'd rather partner with to help fans chill out all season long than one of the nation's best receivers, who is known for making dynamic catches, Rome Odunze," said Jayesh Shah, Mars Ice Cream Marketing Director. "As NFL fans prepare for an exciting Draft Day and the NFL season ahead, one thing they won't have to worry about is dropping their satisfyingly delicious SNICKERS Ice Cream Bars.”
Odunze himself wrote: “"It's an honor to have SNICKERS Ice Cream model their first-ever ice cream Chiller after me," said Rome Odunze. "I couldn't be more excited to be part of the 2024 NFL Draft alongside SNICKERS Ice Cream, and I can't wait to see fans all over the country 'chilling out' with our SNICKERS Ice Cream Chillers on game days.”
At the time of this listing, I find only one of these for sale on ebay asking $199.
Yours for only $75.
