Kicker - The Labor Inducer

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Most women in their ninth month of pregnancy feel quite ready to get on with it.

A burger joint in Minneapolis might be able to help!

The Suburban restaurant serves up what the owner calls “The Labor Inducer.” It’s a bacon burger with caramelized onion, Cajun remoulade, and spicy mustard all inside a pretzel bun.

Turns out, 31 women who ate that thing went into labor within 24 hours!

Now, there’s no proof spicy food induces labor, and this is really just all in good fun. Still, I think we can all agree that eating that would induce something.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
