Taco Liberty Bell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taco Liberty Bell was an April Fool's Day joke played by fast food restaurant chain Taco Bell. On April 1, 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times announcing that they had purchased the Liberty Bell to "reduce the country's debt" and renamed it to the "Taco Liberty Bell". Thousands of people protested before it was revealed to them that the sale was a hoax .
