Munchies and Misdemeanors When sharing snacks becomes a legal battle

The case? The United States v. Homer Simpson. The charge? Inter-State Snack Trafficking. Yes, you heard that correctly.

The prosecution argues that Simpson knowingly transported regional delicacies namely, Texas brisket, Philadelphia cheesesteaks, and an entire case of New Orleans beignets across state lines without offering samples to his fellow passengers or offering them to his relatives at family gatherings. The defense, however, claims this is nothing…
