BREAKING NEWS – St. Paul, Minnesota – The Minnesota State Fair is dropping a new food item — doughnut bits with a side of syringes — a snack apparently too extreme even for an industry perpetually pushing culinary boundaries. The move follows an outcry over The Wingwalker Donut Flight, comprising doughnut holes and three syringes for injecting Bavarian cream, chocolate custard and Minnesota lingonberry jam. The optics — a lot of unnecessary plastic, and the syringes’ similarity to drug paraphernalia in the midst of an drug crisis — simply didn’t sit well with some. The Minnesota State Fair later apologized and stated, “We are sorry if we offended anyone regarding the doughnut holes. The idea was created to appeal to the growing amount of heroine addicts that also have a sweet tooth.”
