Here are some past entries for the Best Presentation category — perhaps the crown jewel of Guac Bowl (for people who don’t care about taste.)
-
-
The Walking, Talking Guac King. I hired him to walk around with guac and chips in his sombrero.
-
-
Guactopus. Sadly, there was no real octopus meat in the guac.
-
-
“Tube Guacks” and “Guackey Shorts.” Both failed, unfunny non-winning puns
-
-
“Guac Strap” and “Silk Guackings.” Slightly better puns, but not good enough to win.
-
-
Guac’s Anatomy. Supposedly all the items in a guac recipe, separated.
-

-

Guac Strap. The second time this pun was used this year! You people are predictable.

-
The Avacado Grotto, the first working fountain of guacamole ever in Guac Bowl. Classy!
-

The Guac-Iron. This baby had corn bread underneath.
-

These Boots Were Made For Guacin’. Come on, putting boots next to guac is pretty lame. Now, guac inside boots…

“Guack,” 2012 Winner, Best Presentation of Guac. Based on the Double Dare game, the guac was up the nose!
