... 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.

Overall: Nominator has only 1 previous nomination, QPQ not required. Lede could do with some expansion, however that does not block being featured in DYK. LGTM! Sohom (talk) 04:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

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)
