A man who choked to death at a Voodoo Doughnuts shop in Denver was reportedly trying to wolf down a giant doughnut during a food-eating challenge.
Travis Malouff, 42, died Sunday while attempting to down a half-pound glazed doughnut. The cause of death was "asphyxia, due to obstruction of the airway," the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner said Monday morning.
Malouff was taking the shop's "Tex-Ass Challenge," which requires participants to consume the colossal doughnut — the equivalent of six regular doughnuts — within an 80-second time limit. Winners get a free meal and a button.

Absolutely...When I was young and ate donuts I’d only eat donut holes so I wouldn’t choke on them.
And then there was this one from a few years ago:
Drinking too much water isn’t a good idea either.
I reckon I don't mind if they eat food I don't like
Not many get to die doing something they love...
For one, they waste food which I have always disliked.
If you have always disliked the food, why do you hate if they waste it?
I didn’t catch that the first time.
Actually I am a bit of a picky eater. My Father liked anything Mother cooked. I once asked her if there was anything he didn’t like and she thought about it and said she could not think of anything she fixed that he didn’t like.
He had one habit which some people thought was funny. I didn’t even notice until a Cousin asked me why Daddy always closed his eyes while chewing his food. I realized that he just really, really liked his food.
He was one of those people who could just lie down about anywhere and go to sleep in a few minutes. I guess he had to be a little sleepy but not very.
Not buying it. Too many holes in the story.
colorado cop too?

Losers get a funeral.
I'm that way with a really good steak.
I like to go to Carrabba's once in a while.
They have a steak I like, called the Filet Fiorentino. I do a combo with it, with their Chicken Marsala and have Fettuccine Alfredo for the side.
I start of with a slice of the wood fired steak and the flavor explodes in my mouth. mmmmmmmmmm.
Then I have a bite of the Chicken Marsala, and the flavor from that, wine and mushrooms, completely different than the steak, explodes in my mouth.
Then the Alfredo, with the cheesy garlic flavor exploding in my mouth.
Oh, it's wonderful.
I have a bite of one, then move on to the next, and so on.
Around and around and around the plate
By the time I'm done, I'm in food bliss.
Until dessert.
Then there is the Sogno Di Ciocccolata, with some coffee to wash it down.
Sogno Di Cioccolata "Chocolate Dream". A rich fudge brownie with chocolate mousse, fresh whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

Some Americans will even risk dying to get a freebie . Duh !
Uncle Si could have eaten it easily
He died doing what he loved.
I smell a lawsuit.
Does he still get the free meal and button?
