I remember sitting in law class one day when my teacher said "today we are going to talk about useless, still valid, American laws that make no sense." Flash forward six years and I still remember some of those laws and many of them involve food.
Did you know (and I swear I'm not making this up!)...
1. It is illegal to eat oranges in the bath tub in the state of California.
2. In Boston it is against the law to eat peanuts while in church.
3. Don't even think of having more than 3 sips of beer, while standing in Texas.
4. You are breaking the law if you eat a donut while walking backwards in Oregon.
5. In New Jersey it is illegal to buy cabbage on Sunday.
Turns out all the laws that were ever created never really stopped being laws, they just stopped being enforced. I think the real question is: how did they ever enforce that one about the oranges in the bathtub???
Do you know of anymore strange food laws? Share them here and while you’re at it feel free to come up with explanations!
