The Washington Nationals have been putting an interesting — albeit sticky — spin on the custom of assaulting a game hero with some kind of barrage during his postgame interview. Typically, it used to involve dumping a big jug of water or sports drink — or even the good old shaving cream pie — but the Nationals have kicked it up a notch with slathering a teammate with a downpour of chocolate syrup.
The folks at Hershey’s have noticed and in a bid to make sure the team never runs short on the sweet stuff — not to mention pulling off a great PR move — the company is sending the Nationals a supply of chocolate syrup … 108 bottles to be exact, which amounts to 200 pounds of the dessert topping.
