Danica Patrick Sends Popsicles to Viral Packers Fan Who Declared Her Love for Aaron Rodgers
By Brendan Balsamo
On Monday, a video went viral of an 18-year-old Green Bay Packers fan professing her love for quarterback Aaron Rodgers while under anesthesia after getting her tonsils removed. In the video she was crying and eating an ice pop while talking about how much she loved Rodgers. She said that if he was there, he would give her 400 ice pops.
In response, Danica Patrick, former NASCAR driver and Rodgers' girlfriend, sent the Connecticut teen four packs of 100 ice pops.
An update! The @packers fan (@Calliekessler) who expressed her love of the team and @AaronRodgers12 in a viral post-surgery video just received popsicles in the mail!

After the video went viral, Patrick publicly reached out to the fan, Callie Kessler, and asked her for her address in order to send her the ice pops she so desired while under the anesthesia.
As a sign of gratitude, Callie posted a picture with her mountain of Otter Pops in front of her Aaron Rodgers shower curtains. She made such a splash that the company actually offered to send her another 400 ice pops.
.@Calliekessler - And if 400 Otter Pops weren't enough, we're going to send you 400 more Giant Otter Pops! DM us ✌️

For Kessler, endless devotion and constantly thinking about the Packers has paid off, this time in the form a delicious treat. We're hoping for her sake that she's doesn't get tired of Otter Pops any time soon, because she has about 800 of them to work through.
