Jason Kelce Ready to Betray $7B Giant After Being Tempted by $180B Conglomerate’s Latest Creation

In the world of the NFL, where every pound counts, Jason Kelce was a titan. At 295 pounds, he anchored the Philadelphia Eagles‘ offensive line like an immovable boulder.

But now, with his cleats hung up, Kelce’s tackling a new opponent: the scale. And just when you thought he was all about protein shakes and salads, he throws us a juicy curveball that’s as unexpected as a Philly Special.

McDonald’s recently unveiled their new Kit Kat banana split McFlurry, a summer treat that’s caught Kelce’s eye faster than a linebacker spotting a fumble. The NFL star retweeted the announcement, declaring, “There is a zero percent chance I’m not trying this.”

This enthusiasm might seem as out of place as a vegetarian at a tailgate, especially for a man who’s been shedding pounds since retiring.

But it’s exactly the kind of relatable moment that makes fans love Kelce more than a fourth-quarter comeback. Kelce’s McFlurry excitement is particularly eyebrow-raising, given his past loyalty to Burger King.

The $7 billion fast-food giant has long been a favorite of the Kelce brothers. In fact, during a podcast episode featuring Patrick Mahomes, the Kelce brothers praised Burger King’s burgers as their top pick. Mahomes, however, stood firm in his Texas roots, declaring Whataburger as “world-class” and even bringing the chain to Kansas City through his investments.

But it seems the Golden Arches’ latest creation was too tempting to resist, even for a Whopper loyalist.

The $180 billion conglomerate has struck gold with this fusion of Kit Kat and banana split flavors, luring even health-conscious retired athletes like Kelce into its sweet embrace.

This playful ‘betrayal’ highlights the stark contrast between Kelce’s strict NFL diet and his post-retirement freedom to indulge. It’s a reminder that even elite athletes are human, with the same cravings and temptations as the rest of us.

As Kelce himself once said about his NFL eating habits, “I can go to McDonald’s and eat food that I can figure out… If that’s what’s required of me to play in the NFL, I probably wouldn’t do it.”
