Did you know that it's a law in at least three states that you cannot walk around with an ice cream cone in your back pocket? In Boston, it's illegal to eat peanuts in church. In Marion, Ohio, it’s illegal to eat a doughnut while walking backward. Some of these laws are laughable. Like, was this a problem at some point?

Public schools, jails, and hospitals are not permitted to feed the students, inmates, or patients margarine. Per state law, these groups may not be fed butter substitutes unless the substitution is necessary for their health. According to Taste of Home, this law was put in place to protect the butter industry in America’s Dairyland.

Apparently this is actually a law in St. Cloud. It's illegal to eat hamburgers on Sundays in St. Cloud, according to Taste of Home. I'd be breaking that law every weekend if I lived up there.
