In [[Grafton, North Dakota]], there is an annual competition in which contestants must eat four saltines and then whistle. For nine years, it was won by Mike Stoltman of [[Minto, North Dakota|Minto]]; a local legend who says that he benefits from an extra [[salivary gland]]. Stoltman says that he requires two [[suction tube]]s at the [[dentist]], and of the gland, "I don't know for sure. But my orthodontist said he's never seen saliva like that."<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Broom At The Top; Baby, it's cold outside, so North Dakotans like to curl up with a good CURLING tournament |first=Mark |last=Bechtel |date=2004-01-19 |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |page=32 |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1031102/index.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121202232750/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1031102/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 December 2012 |access-date=2009-10-25}}</ref> He was upset by Greg Shane of [[Oslo, Minnesota|Oslo]] in the 2009 running, possibly because Stoltman had been celebrating his 40th birthday. Five-time winner Kelly Schanilec (Gaddie) won the first-place trophy in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, and 2012.<ref>{{cite news |title=Scouting out Minto's bologna cook-off brings whistles of joy |work=[[Grand Forks Herald]] |date=2009-01-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Oslo team wins Minto bologna competition |date=2009-01-19 |agency=[[Associated Press]] |id=Factiva APRS000020090119e51j0039d}}</ref>
