We can question whether competitive eating is a sport until the cows come home (where they are eaten), but there's no denying that trophies are very much sports. The World Poutine Eating Championship has the best one of all.
Why? Because it's functional. Sure you can drink booze out of the Stanley Cup, but this piece of ingenuity has real items you can break off and use in your day-to-day life. So far we've found the following:
- A boombox
- Speaker
- Spinner rim
- Fire alarm
- Column
- Rubik's Cube
- Plaster arm
- Giant fork
- Over-sized French fry
This isn't a trophy, it's a Swiss Army Knife. Or, a Canadian Army Knife, as the case may be.
Oh, and USA ... USA ... USA.
