The Law
South Dakota takes its dairy hygiene very seriously. To prevent contamination of cheese curds by snoring, drooling, or otherwise unsanitary nappers, lawmakers made it a misdemeanor to catch some shut-eye on the factory floor. The law stems from early 1900s food safety regulations when laborers lived practically on-site.
