South Dakota brothers sweep Mohawk's Messiest Kid Facebook Contest

The results of Mohawk’s Messiest Kid Contest are in and South Dakota brothers Cruz and Fletcher Birkeland have been named “America’s Biggest Messmakers.” More than 250 parents and grandparents entered their little ones in the nationwide search by uploading photos and videos of their messy children to Mohawk’s Facebook page. The Birkeland boys, who account for two-thirds of three year old triplets, were photographed by their mother just minutes after smearing red JELL-O® sugar all over each other.

“The boys were playing grocery store, which sounds pretty innocent, but when I turned around there was an explosion of JELL-O sugar in my kitchen,” explained Kristi Birkeland, the boys’ mother. “The sticky mess was pasted all over their faces, arms, clothes, and in their hair. It was pretty nasty, but sometimes you have to step back and just appreciate the moment. I’m so happy I snapped a picture and that Mohawk and America loved it as much as we do.”
