• ... that Townsends changed the title of their "Orange Fool" custard recipe video after fans mistook it as a joke about the president? Source: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/rabbit-holes/the-eighteenth-century-custard-recipe-that-enraged-trump-supporters
  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: Fans were split between supporting the channel for the "joke" and condemning the channel, so this DYK isn't politically biased one way or the other.

My fatigue about politics and insults makes me wince. But the hook is confirmed and interesting. I learned something too. I see ALT1 and it uses WP:MASHABLE which appears fine in this context. Bruxton (talk) 17:53, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
