1. Yep, however...
I think the Toilet Bowl was named for a plumbing fixture.

3. yep!
Some are making a comeback. I no longer hear "Tostitos" in front of "Fiesta Bowl". Let's hope the trend keeps reversing.

4. The only new one that sort of makes sense to me is...
"The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl."

Tostitos work with Fiesta's, I dont know how Chick Fil-A works with peaches though?

13. I just had a vague memory of this game, at one point,
having a hyphenated name....the (something)-bluebonnet bowl, but I just can't remember what it was - Anybody?
