Krystal Lovers Root For New Orleans Saints In 2010 Super Bowl XLIV

Join the Krystal team on Sunday, Feb. 7 as we all root for the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV!

Join Krystal Lovers across the South on Feb. 7 as we all root for the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV!

Because Krystal loves to give back to its guests for all of their continued support and loyalty to the brand, the fast food icon promised fans that the company would in turn root for its Krystal Lovers’ football team of choice in the 2010 Super Bowl game. To do so, Krystal turned to its online communities on Facebook and Twitter.

All week long, Krystal guests spoke out with great excitement about who they want to win. 2009 Krystal Hall of Famer Kris Underwood exclaimed, “Indianapolis Colts! GO BLUE!!” Many other Krystal Lovers including Adam Johnson and Tyler Peterson stated, “SAINTS! Who Dat!”

But after a great response – hearing from more than 100 Krystal Fans, the clear winner is… THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!

Now we do realize that this might not come as that big of a surprise, considering there are more Krystal Lovers in the South than in the Midwest. However, there are Krystal Lovers like Chad Littleton who totally go against that train of thought as you can see with his response here, “Colts! This Falcons fan will never pull for the Saints.”

Either way, what we can tell you with absolute certainty is that on February 7th at 7:20 p.m. EST, we here at Krystalist along with the entire Krystal Team and all of our Krystal Lovers across the South will be pulling for the Saints. Now let us hear you say, “WHO DAT!”
