A Jacksonville bakery expertly trolled Ben Roethlisberger and found a way to weaponize baked goods.
In case you didn’t know, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a very bad day on Sunday against the Jaguars. Perhaps they were too focused on playing the Patriots, assuming they’d simply roll through Jacksonville. Maybe the team lost its way during the season, or it might be that this is the end of the line for the miraculous run Mike Tomlin had the team on.
Whatever the reason, the Steelers were quick outs in the playoffs and got bested by Blake Borltes. That in of itself is enough of a troll to make Steelers fans want to hide their faces until the spring. It’s not enough, however, for the fine folks of Duval County.
Jacksonville inexplicably made its way into the AFC Championship game and being that this wasn’t a season anyone projected as one that ended in the playoffs, fans are playing with house money. One bakery in Jacksonville has taken the trash talk Pittsburgh doled out and baked into what has to be the tastiest troll ever.
In honor of Ben Roethlisberger’s seven total turnovers in two games against the Jaguars this year, Cinotti’s Bakery sent the Steelers seven baked turnovers.

The note reads:
"Dear Big Ben…… We wanted to thank you for the amazing season so far. Beating you this year not once BUT twice in the Burgh….well that was amazing! We appreciated the turnovers you gave us over our season so in return we wanted you to get a TASTE of 7 turnovers. So here are our very best Apple, blueberry and Cherry turnovers! Sincerely, the amazing City of Jacksonville or as you know it"
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the artistry of this troll. Usually, when someone is made fun of for sports things, it’s a half-baked idea. This is not only fully-baked but you know that Big Ben isn’t going to let those go to waste.

Afterall, the Jaguars defense certainly didn’t let the actual turnovers go to waste, so why stop with baked goods?
