Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak stuck with SweeTango in his latest friendly wager related to the WNBA postseason.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is countering with his home state’s most prominent agricultural product: peaches.

As Rybak put it in a press announcement before the series started, he decided to stick with two winners — the Lynx and SweeTango.

“The Lynx are just three wins away from bringing the championship home to Minneapolis, and we as a city are united in cheering them on as they close out an exciting and historic season,” Rybak said. “And we’ve had good luck with SweeTango apples so far, too, so I’m sticking with them as well.”
