The Coachella Valley Firebirds are apparently going to the next level to show their disdain toward their 2023 Calder Cup Final opponent, the Hershey Bears.
In a tweet posted on Thursday, the team showed their mascot Fuego destroying candy at the team’s concession stands with the caption “no chocolate allowed.”

A steaming mad Fuego can be seen ripping open a bag of M&M’s onto the floor and punting a box of peanut M&M’s like he’s Pat McAfee in his NFL prime. At the end of the video, the chocolate is magically in a bowl and being melted into some kind of weird Mascot-created fondue.
That folks will send a message.
There are a few problems with the Firebirds’ logic here.
- These chocolate products are made by Mars not Hershey
- Taking a popular concession item off the menu will likely result in a loss of revenue
- They are punishing their own children-aged fans for a social media bit
So basically, this is a self-own. Not a great start for the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
Game One of the Calder Cup Finals begins tonight at 10 pm.
