Burgers and Ice Cream Make Seperate "Strange Food News"

19-year-old Don Ezra Nicholas stuffed over three McDonald's burgers into his mouth, without swallowing, claiming a new global record at the end of Singapore's contest to be "the world's wackiest." This may put him in the Guinness Book of World Records.

A court in southern Russia has reportedly banned the sale of a Ukrainian ice cream that bears names alluding to drugs, like: "Your Hemp Dose" and "Poppy Fun." Narcotics officers in the city of Rostov-on-Don filed the suit, and a district court ordered the product removed. Tests revealed there were no illegal substances in the ice cream, but authorities believe the names could have created support and interest in drugs.
