The Greatest Hoaxes of All Time

The Left-Handed Whopper

The Left-Handed Whopper

On April 1, 1998, Burger King published a full page ad in USA Today announcing their new "Left-Handed Whopper" specially created for the 32 million southpaws in America. According to the ad, the lefty Whopper featured the same ingredients as the original, but all the condiments would be rotated 180 degrees to make the experience more lefty-friendly. Burger King revealed the next day that, while the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had requested the new version.
