You can buy a pint of snow from the Eagles’ win on Sunday. We have some questions.
The snow that fell during the Birds’ win over the Rams can now be yours. But what exactly do you do with it?
Miss Sunday’s snow game vs. the Rams?
Well, now you can purchase the snow that fell inside Lincoln Financial Field in an ice-cream-sized container. The Realest, which sells game-used memorabilia for the Eagles and other teams, is selling containers of snow taken directly from the field after the game for $50. I have so many questions.
How do you authenticate snow? The Realest posted a video of Eagles grounds crew members just scooping the snow up and putting it into what looks like a regular cooler.
According to The Realest, it’s the first snow memorabilia of its kind, but a reader reached out to share that after the last season at the Spectrum, Comcast Spectactor sold ice coasters featuring fragments of the ice sheet at the arena. The real innovators!
Apparently the snow will be shipped in insulated containers and preserved with dry ice to prevent it from melting en route. But how exactly do you keep it from melting while on display in your house, especially if you’re been blasting the heat in these frigid temperatures like I am? It comes with instructions, but I’m trying to imagine how exactly you show off the snow in your home without it turning into a puddle. Maybe you leave it in your freezer and look at it every time you pull out your ice tray, fondly remembering Saquon Barkley’s 78-yard touchdown run.
I know they wanted to make it look pretty so you can display it, but why make it look so much like ice cream? You run the risk of pulling it out by accident and consuming the snow-dirt mix instead of your favorite ice cream, or watching your $50 snow melt immediately in the summer heat.

In the likely event that the snow melts, and then refreezes into ice, is it still technically the same snow? If you never open the container, you’ll never even know. Schrödinger’s snow.
What’s next, the leftover Gatorade from the team coolers? Sweat collected directly from A.J. Brown’s forehead? The hairs from Nick Sirianni’s shaved head?
You have to give them credit for creativity, at least.
