Chubby bunny

Although the origins of the game are unknown, a 1959 Peanuts comic strip shows Snoopy's mouth being filled with an increasing number of marshmallows while Charlie Brown keeps count.

The contest was scheduled for the annual Care Fair held at Hoffman Elementary School in Chicago's North Shore area.

[citation needed] On September 12, 2006, Janet Rudd, 32, from London, Ontario, Canada died in a chubby bunny competition at the Western Fair.

The paramedics arrived with equipment including a defibrillator and suction devices, but were unable to remove the blockage in the unconscious woman's throat.
