While it’s not uncommon for athletes and luminaries to use their trophies as eating receptacles ([Jay Z drinking cognac out of his Grammy](http://www.complex.com/music/2014/04/rappers-drunk/jay-z-drinks-from-grammy-award) or [Blackhawks player Andrew Desjardins eating Lucky Charms out of the Stanley Cup](https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2015/7/7/8909897/stanley-cup-lucky-charms-cereal-andrew-desjardins-blackhawks),) Kang’s choice to eat pho out of her trophy has definitely raised the bar for celebratory eating.
