At my local Sam’s Club, they offer a fairly large twisted churro for just over a buck. I’ve had it before. It’s sugary, it’s cinnamon-y and overall, it’s not too bad. Best of all, it doesn’t explode.
What’s that? You’ve never had exploding churros before? Well, truthfully, neither have I, but that’s probably because I’m not a reader of La Tercera, a Chilean newspaper that printed the recipe seven years ago. Mind you, the churros in the recipe weren’t supposed to explode hot oil upon their creators, but for 13 readers, they kinda did.
Which leads us to now: The Supreme Court for Chile has ordered La Tercera to pay 163 thousand dollars to the aforementioned 13 readers. This just reiterates why donuts are so good: They won’t cost you a ton of money and they won’t explode over you. Their damage is internal, not external.
