Thirteen-year-old Katharine Tuck’s sneakers smell as bad as they look. Now, at least, the Utah seventh-grader can afford some new ones.
On Tuesday, she out-ranked six other children to win $2,500 in the 32nd annual National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest, stinking up the joint with a pair of well-worn 1½-year-old Nikes so noxious they had the judges wincing.
“I’m so proud of the little stinker,” said her mother, Paula Tuck.
I wish I had known about this contest when I was a kid. When I was thirteen, I had a pair of Vans knock-offs so rank the smell you sterilize your pets. I would have won in a walk. A very smelly walk.
