Kate Krader ( @kkrader on Twitter ) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up. So, have you heard that Taco Bell bought the rights to Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell? They’ll be renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. According to the Museum of Hoaxes – which I’d consider an expert on the subject – that 1996 prank, complete with full-page newspaper ads, is No. 4 on the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes. Other food-related gags on the list include the Left-Handed Whopper at No. 7. Burger King “announced” that it was rotating all its ingredients 180 degrees for their left-handed customers and then got thousands of requests for those burgers, as well as for right-handed ones. And at No. 1, the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest. In 1957, the BBC said that, thanks to a mild winter, Swiss farmers had a bumper crop of spaghetti; the accompanying photos of people picking spaghetti strands off trees is hilarious. All of which goes to show that you can have a lot of fun playing April Fools' Day food-related jokes, so share your potential pranks in the comments and you too might make it onto the Top 100 Hoaxes list.
