Fans Thank Pope As Beer Cooler Ice Remains Unmelted After ‘Ice Blessing’
VATICAN CITY – In a move hailed as the greatest papal intervention since the invention of the fish fry, Pope Francis has inadvertently blessed the nation’s beer cooler ice during an “ice blessing” at the Vatican this week. The act ensured the ice remains unmelted for entire NFL tailgating sessions. Fans across the country erupted in cheers, dubbing him “the best Pope ever” as their brews stayed frosty without the need for constant ice runs.
“This is a game-changer,” said Cleveland Browns fan Harrah Tick, cracking open a miraculously chilled can. “The Pope blesses our ice, and suddenly we’re not blowing half our paycheck on bags of frozen water. If he could bless our hot dogs, brats, maybe some nachos, I’d convert faster than you can say ‘fourth-quarter collapse.’”
The papal blessing, delivered during a Vatican address on “stewardship of refreshment,” has turned tailgating into a near-sacred ritual. NFL fans, long burdened by the weekly expense of ice, are now redirecting their savings to essential tailgating gear—portable grills, team-branded koozies, and, for Browns fans, an alarming number of paper bags to wear over their heads.
“This awesome Pope just made ice a once-a-season purchase,” Tick added, gesturing to his cooler, still brimming with pristine cubes after six hours in the Ohio sun. “It’s like buying a Personal Seat License—except this actually works.”
While the blessing has united fans in gratitude, not all are celebrating equally. Browns supporters, despite their icy windfall, remain mired in despair. “Sure, the beer’s cold,” sighed Tick, pulling a brown bag over his face. “But no amount of papal magic can fix third-and-19 with a backup quarterback.”
The Vatican has yet to comment on requests to bless nacho cheese or prevent fumbles, but sources say the Pope is “considering all tailgating-related miracles.” Meanwhile, fans nationwide raise their frosty cans in a toast to the pontiff who finally made tailgating great again—just don’t tell the Browns.
