We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

It's possible they did taste it but can't say it because they didn't get permissions to do it.

Bingo. They 100% ate it, but the university lawyers don’t want to be liable for poisoning a bunch of grad students.

So everyone’s going to pretend the students didn’t eat the plastic cookies.
