Mexico Renames the Liberty Bell the TACO Bell
-
I seem to recall a news report introducing the 5-blade Gillette shaver - for real, and referencing a historical The Onion article with an irate CEO of the same company rudely rebuking his engineers for suggesting it was impossible to produce.
I realize this is just satire, but can the same happen here where an Onion article leads to the bell's renaming, at least in the literature of some countries?

it is less satire and more something that was done already

MEXICO CITY (The Borowitz Report)—In a move likely to stir controversy, Mexico has officially renamed the Liberty Bell “the TACO Bell,” the Mexican president announced on Monday.
Effective immediately, the landmark will be referred to as the TACO Bell in all Mexican atlases, encyclopedias, and history textbooks, President Claudia Sheinbaum said.
In her announcement, she gave Donald J. Trump “full credit” for the name change.
“Thanks to Donald Trump, when one thinks of America, one no longer thinks of liberty,” she said. “One thinks of TACO.”

I'll admit that I got about a paragraph in before I had to check if I was eating an onion.

Taco Bell did this as an April Fool’s joke 31 years ago inn the New York Times. The slogan was “Run for the border” at the time which was prophetic.
Edit: 29 years ago
I'm more surprised the simpsons didn't do it first.

From the other side, activist Paul Rogat Loeb lamented that the hoax "felt too real for comfort" in an era "when every value, ideal, and public symbol has a profit-seeking sponsor".

Bullshit, it wasn't 31 years ago, they did that in the 90s.

Bullshit, it wasn't 31 years ago, they did that in the 90s.
And the 90s were only 10 years ago.

Yeah stale onion lol

I noticed the comm, then elected to eat it anyway
Helps that my metal type deck in Pokemon TCGP is named "Taco Bell *DONG*"
Woulda been "*BONG*" but apparently while they are okay with penis synonyms they draw the line at drug paraphernalia
Well tbf dong is common in some languages...
For instance, north koreas rockets are named something like type-o dong or something like that?
So there's these serious ass Korean guys staring at a missile test of what I can only write as type o' dong. Like an inquisitive Irish man asking about my penis.
Imaginary Irish guy: "oh type o' dong to ya?"
Me: "I dunno, slightly above average? Thicker near the top than the base... There's no curve if that's what you're asking..." -
Almost ate it. I hate the world we live in
I did eat it, and I'm still eating it. I choose to manifest that this is a true thing in my universe.
