of a large cheese curd on top of a burger patty. On April 1, Culver's released an April Fools' joke showing a large fried cheese curd in a burger bun, naming it the CurderBurger. Soon after the post was made, a change.org petition was created to make the burger a reality, gathering over 600 signatures. Each location only got a limited number of cheese curd patties, and all Madison, Wisconsin, restaurants sold out before noon. Sponsorships Culver's sponsors sports teams, including the St. Cloud Rox, Wisconsin Badgers, Milwaukee Admirals, Iowa Hawkeyes, Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Golden Gophers, St. Louis Billikens, Indiana Hoosiers, Madison Mallards, Louisville Bats, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Cubs. Culver's also sponsors the WIAC baseball championship. Official mascot The official Culver's mascot is an anthropomorphic custard cone named Scoopie, featured in various advertisements, community events, and fundraisers. Along the way, three new characters were added: Fudge the dog, Curdis the Curd, and Goldie the Curd.
