Food fight breaks out between group of women at Woodman's in Madison

By JD

A turkey and other edible weapons were flying last week in a fracas at a West Side supermarket, police reported. The fight reportedly started over money and ended on a yogurt- and bacon-splattered floor. The wild melee happened Nov. 12 at Woodman's Food Market West, 725 S. Gammon Road, Madison police said in a news release.

The fight was between two groups of women in the meat department and evidently erupted during an ongoing dispute over money.

"One woman pulled out a can of pepper spray and shot it at the eyes of two women," DeSpain said. "That started the fisticuffs." During the melee, one woman armed herself with a frozen turkey and was swinging it around before tossing it at the others.

"A man tried to call 911, but someone chucked a full container of yogurt at his head," DeSpain said.

Two women exchanging blows fell into a pallet of bacon, knocking the boxes to the floor, with the women rolling around on the floor amid the spilled yogurt and upset bacon.

Somehow I’ve never thought about being in a food fight in a grocery store but now it’s all I wanna do. When you threw food in your high school cafeteria it could only go so far because you only had so much food on your tray and your principal was an asshole. At Woodman’s you could legitimately food fight to the death. Endless ammunition and no one there that can stop you.

Now, the most important question we need to ask ourselves – If you could have one food item from the grocery store as your weapon, what would you choose? And I’m not talking about funniest food to throw like putting mashed potatoes on your spoon and flinging it across the table – this is best food to use as a legitimate weapon. Best answer I can come up with is pineapple but I’m open to better suggestions. Let me know in the comment section.
