Are you a victim of BRI? That would be Bagel Related Injury an abllusteoy honest-to-God-I-cannot-make-this-stuff-up ailment. It s even tracked at emergency rooms around the country. And believe it or not, the highest rate of occurrences falls on Sunday.I found this in my online searches: The number one injury in the Long Island emergency rooms on Sunday mornings was knife wounds from improperly cutting a bagel. Posted at Beware brunch Richard Goldfarb, Food Liability Law Blog.Other posts on the site claim that BRI has more reported incidents than burns from the coffee at McDonalds with one person saying when he was being treated for the coffee burns, the doctor commented on how nicely the scar from his bagel accident was healing. So what does that tell you?And from Freakonomics: Americans ate an estimated 3 billion bagels at home in 2011, an average of about 11 per person (this doesn t include bagels eaten at work). And in the course of slicing up all those bagels, almost 2,000 people cut their fingers so badly that they ended up in an emergency room. By the finger-cut-to-E.R. metric, that makes bagel-cutting the fifth most dangerous activity in the American kitchen. So it shouldn t be surprising that an array of home gadgets have arrived on the scene to prevent bagel-related injuries. One bit of advice make sure you are fully AWAKE before grabbing a knife to cut your bagel. Please.View Comments(0)
