The world’s worst donut flavour was Stinky Bishop Icing with dry Marmite Sprinkles. The topping was
developed was developed as part of a 1998 experiment by the Research &
Development Department of Tasty Treets
inc., a confectionary company based in New Zealand. At an inquest called
after 3 people went blind at a taste trial fro the donut, head of development,
Buddy ‘Bud’ Chappers said, “We have spent several years chasing the Holy Grail
of the perfect flavour, or ‘PF’, and after running into dead end after dead
end, we decided to try to formulate the worst flavour possible, or ‘WFP’, and
try to reverse it. I never expected that it could permanently disable someone.”

| There are few surviving photographs of the offending donuts. Few photographers could stand the smell long enough to focus their cameras. This photograph by tommy.chheng was taken with the aid of a gas mask, which was then disposed of in a hospital furnace. |
