Doughnuts with a receipt made of fondant were on display last week at a bakery in Moosinning These Kassenbon Krapfen — receipt doughnuts — are a reaction to Germany's new receipt law A new law has taken effect in Germany that requires receipts to be issued at businesses such as restaurants It's known as Kassengesetz or "cash register law": a law for protection against the manipulation of digital records The measure is meant to increase transparency and prevent tax fraud The idea is to log each transaction in a format that can be reviewed and verified Many of these businesses — and their customers — have taken umbrage at the new requirement but none has done so more deliciously than the country's beloved bakeries some bakeries are incorporating the receipts into the goods themselves The Bäckerei Ways in Moosinning has begun peddling Kassenbon Krapfen — receipt doughnuts The pastries are slathered with pink icing and then topped with a receipt made of fondant encourages customers to drop their receipts in the window last month a symbol of the bakery's opposition to the law The Streicher bakery in Grosshabersdorf had the same idea.

Receipts are often made of thermal paper coated in chemicals that shouldn't be recycled A German trade association estimated that all those compulsory receipts will generate enough paper each year to wrap around the world 50 times So the controversial law could be good for other enterprises, like the small company Ökobon: It makes organic receipt paper Become an NPR sponsor Viktor Hovland continues to put Norway golf on the map The 23-year-old made history on Sunday as the first Norwegian player to win on the European Tour with his two-shot victory at the 2021 BMW International Open at 19 under The Oklahoma State product held off two-time major champion Martin Kaymer to earn his first win on the European Tour in just his second start Hovland now has three wins since turning professional in 2019 after claiming the Puerto Rico Open and Mayakoba Golf Classic last year “I grew up watching mostly the European Tour,” Hovland said after his round “There’s a lot of guys who played this week who I grew up watching It’s cool to be a champion of this tour in a place that… it’s not in Norway but it’s close and has some of the same feelings of being home It’s a huge honor and finally Norway has a win on the European Tour.” Hovland shot a 2-under 70 in the final round to fend off Kaymer who fired a 8-under 64 to finish second at 17 under followed by Victor Dubuisson at 14 under and seven players T-5 at 13 under: Darren Fichardt Golf is known to offer pleasant strolls and a serene pace of play but that’s far from the case if you are trying to beat the official golf world record for the fastest hole That record stood at 1 minute 33.37 seconds and beating it really isn’t as easy as it sounds – as European Tour stars Sean Crocker Paul Dunne and Guido Migliozzi recently found out which was adjudicated by an official from the Guinness World Records took place at the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina Each player had to play a minimum of 500 yards and had to finish the hole carrying the same amount of clubs they started with until the players realised that it involves 500 yards of running after Dunne’s record-breaking time was disqualified before “It was so tough but it was a lot of fun,” Detry said “As a boy I used to get the Guinness World Records book for Christmas and I guess my name will be going in it now which is very cool!” The 2024 BMW International Open is set to be played from July 4 to July 7 at the Golfclub Müchen Eichenried course in Moosinning, Germany.
