NWe also relax a little here at the food district on April 1, International Fools' Day. Over time, the mass media have tickled and promoted many gastronomic pranks, but only a few have remained in history.
deja had invented the phonograph and was about to launch the incandescent light bulb. He seemed to be able to do anything. So when the New York Graphic claimed in 1878 that Thomas Edison had created a machine that could turn earth into bread, thus ending world hunger, many people fell for it. Newspapers across the country reprinted the story, excited to see the car in action.
Sbutter after the Second World War and the wine supply of the Nordic countries was still in short supply. 1950, Norway's largest newspaper published a story claiming that a huge shipment had arrived at government-run wine stores. The only problem was that it had come in bulk and there were no bottles in stock. Thirsty customers had to bring their own containers, but could buy wine with 75% cheaper than bottled. The world roared like a circus and it seems that the Nordics were not leaving their bag but their bucket in line.
QUSA National Radio's All Things Considered sadly told the story of the last fondue springs in northern Wisconsin. It was claimed that the Vince Lombardi Hot Springs (named after an American football coach). The announcer claimed that an over-qualified workforce of cheese rangers was needed to manage to keep the springs open to the public.

manchorage for lefties. First in '96, Mars claimed to be selling left-handed chocolate bars designed for easy opening by left-handed people. Then in '98, Burger King promoted a left-handed Whopper that had the ingredients redistributed so that someone holding it with their left hand wouldn't spill it. Then again in 2010, British bakery Sayers introduced their own left-handed sandwich, which was supposed to be easier for left-handed people to hold. Each time, the prank brought people into stores looking for left-handed food. For example, thousands of people showed up at Burger King in 1998.
whole Foods tried a few April Fools' Day hoaxes, but the most believable one came in 2009 when they promoted some bottles of organic air that they allegedly sold for $6.99 each. A bargain at the time when you consider that oxygen bars were selling people real air for three times the price (more on oxygen bars here https://summitoxygen.net/what-is-an-oxygen-bar/ )
QIn 2014, Netflix released a 20-minute video of bacon cooking in a pan. For anyone who wanted to really indulge, they also had a 73 minute rotisserie chicken video.
