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.

I don’t understand it, James Coco went mad in fifteen minutes.
or in other words, “Voodoo Donuts puts Hex on Customer”
RE: 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.
My Dad grew up the youngest of 8 kids in a farming family. They raised most of what they ate, and traded for the rest. He says it was “unheard-of” to turn up your nose at what Mama put down on the table.
He just turned 76, and finally thought to tell my Mom that he didn’t need her adding mushrooms to his serving if it’s not too much trouble to omit them. Married now for some 54 years, he finally gets around to confessing a dislike of mushrooms, LOL!
“I realized that he just really, really liked his food.”
Probably not as much as Bill Murray in “What about Bob.”

(I’m pretty sure that last part was ad-libbed - look at his smirk at the end.) I read where he and Dreyfuss didn’t get along at all. Murray said “Yeah - we didn’t. And of course I made it worse because I knew I could get to him. I think it helped the movie though.”
My wife brags to her friends that I’ll eat anything too. I recall that the only thing that my dad didn’t like was tuna fish. My mom would make it and tell him it was chicken casserole! “Don’t tell your mom - but I know it’s tuna fish. And I like the taste, but it just doesn’t agree with me.”
Norm-ally, I don’t plug businesses on FR....but if you love donuts, are suicidal and decide that death by donuts is your ticket outta here; you gotta go to Mojo Donuts in Miami or Broward. They are the bomb and will have you in a hyperglycemic coma in no time.
