TRUE STORY: Oh those gullible Americans!

In 1998 a Fast Food Restaurant published a full page advertisement in USA Today ... announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a “Left-Handed Burger” specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans.

According to the advertisement, the new hamburger included the same ingredients as the before (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day the Fast Food Restaurant issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Burger was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich.
