What happened
The buffet was laid out as a maze of 240 small Würstel pieces, and guests were told to eat their way through without turning back. Four committee members in bedsheets chased them. A local student cleared the maze in 11 minutes and was declared champion, then ill.
Elsewhere in 1980
Namco releases Pac-Man in Japan, an arcade game in which a round yellow character eats dots while avoiding ghosts.
