Round 3: Tossup 15
During one of these events in 2023, a participant was presented with a wheel of cheese and a bag containing a woman’s ashes. Animal rights activists condemned the killing of hundreds of stray cats for one of these events in Barranquilla (“baa-ruhn-KEE-uh”). In 2023, a man claimed he “thought it would be funny” when asked why he ended one of these events by throwing a (*) phone at Bebe Rexha ("bee-bee rek-suh").
