This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Wash U chapter.

So far, 2015 has been a year full of news for foodies nationwide. First, college students everywhere were stunned to learn of Fireball’s secret ingredient: antifreeze. We also found out that a Nutella shortage may be in store after many hazelnut crops took a blow this past March. In the midst of these food-tastrophes, you may have missed some pretty crazy food stories making headlines in the first 3 months of this year. For your convenience, we’ve compiled a quick list of 7 of the oddest food stories of 2015, ranked from least to most weird:
