Wisconsin images

To no one’s surprise, I’m sure, a Wisconsin patrolman took the first prize in the annual doughnut-eating contest for police officers (story here).

The World Cop Donut Eating Championship attracted some 40 contestants from the US and Canada.

I thought that the winning result was unspectacular. The prediction had been 7 or 8 doughnuts in 3 minutes. Our Wisconsin man ran away with first prize at 10 doughnuts. That seems entirely doable to me. Unless they were powdered sugar, with no accompanying beverage to push things down faster. That would be a challenge.
