Congresswoman Debbie Dingell has made a friendly wager with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the outcome of the NFC Championship game between their hometown teams – the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. If the Lions had won the game, Pelosi would have sent Michigan’s Debbie Dingell enticing California Ghirardelli chocolates and See’s Candies. However, as the 49ers won, Dingell will be shipping Michigan’s iconic Sanders sweets to Pelosi. The Congresswoman is keeping her word and is in the process of honoring the bet made.
Despite the Lions not making it to the Super Bowl, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell is keeping her word and sending a gift basket filled with Sanders chocolates to Nancy Pelosi to honor their friendly wager. Florida-based Sanders is a famous chocolate brand that was founded by Fred Sanders Schmidt in 1875, with Dingell calling it “the best chocolate in the country.” The basket will contain an assortment of chocolates, including salted caramels, milk chocolate hot fudge, bittersweet fudge, different candies, and a Sanders bumpy cake. While the congresswoman is still mourning the Lions’ loss, she has yet to decide who to support but is likely to cheer for the Heartland team.
Interestingly, Dingell revealed that unlike many others, a player’s presence, such as Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce, would not factor into her final decision on who to support in the Super Bowl game.
