1984
it was these 1986 giants that popularized the football tradition of dousing the head coach with a cooler of gatorade near the end of a victorious game. this originated in 1984 when jim burt, incensed by what he thought was mistreatment he received during practice, exacted revenge on bill parcells by dumping a cooler of gatorade on him. lawrence taylor and harry carson later picked up on the ploy and would often sneak up on coach parcells near the end of games to dump the remaining gatorade over his head. the dousing was a big hit with fans, and the gatorade dumping continued throughout the season after each win, with taylor, carson, and several other players (burt had since ceased doing it) concocting increasingly elaborate, sneaky, and playful ruses, so as to at least attempt to keep the inevitable dousing a surprise.

as a product tie-in with the 2005–2006 nfl season, burger king introduced a 36 piece party pack as a limited time offer. this promotion was more general and featured the bk mascot, the burger king, digitally superimposed into nfl game footage so appeared to be involved in the game. some of the players the king replaced include steve young, deion sanders, and moe williams. he has also been depicted performing the lambeau leap and dumping gatorade on the head of former miami dolphins head coach don shula. the primary packaging was altered to include the nfl logo; the party pack designed to mimic the texture of a football, included the nfl logo and a humorous comment along the line of those found on bk packaging at the time.
