Texas Woman’s University hosts edible car contest

... for the 11th year in a row, actually.

Hopefully, none of the competitors will be "squaring off" in this fashion

Competitors who build real rolling vehicles out of edible stuff are squaring off this morning (March 6) at Texas Woman's University to see whose constructed-of-edibles car will take top honors in multiple categories of judging.

The "cars" - constructed of stuff like pretzels, cookies, corn on the cob or any other comestible - are each about a foot long and have to roll down a 10-foot ramp on three or four operational wheels to successfully compete in the categories of aerodynamics, style, design, creativity, durability and speed.

This is the 11th year that the competition has been held.
