I had an odd experience the other day. While recovering from a cold and still dealing with some annoying congestion, I happened across some free donuts. The moment I bit into the first donut, my congestion cleared and I could breath perfectly well. It only lasted for a few minutes past finishing the donut.

For the sake of science, I circled back around a bit later and grabbed another donut. Same exact effect.

Has anyone else ever noticed this? Is there a reasonable explanation?

Either way, next time you're stuffed up, eat a free donut for science.

Did the donut have powdered sugar on it?

reply

No, it was a plain glazed. For the sake of science, I made sure the second one was also plain glazed.

Hmm, I was going to speculate about the decongestive powers of powdered sugar, but now I must go back to the drawing board.

reply

Well, that's new to me anyway, so next time I'll just eat some powdered sugar.

No, I've never even heard of such a creature.
