You Must Be …ing Us

Apparently counterfeiters no longer bother faking money or expensive perfumes and watches. They make fake Ferrero Rocher instead. £208,000 worth! That’s a lot of (chocolate) balls.
When I saw this story I had to check the date. But it’s not April 1st.
33,000 boxes of the stuff were seized at what seems to be Paris’s equivalent of the Barras.
Why would anyone want to fake Ferrero Rocher? They’re horrible.
The Guardian story continues, “After laboratory checks the fakes were not found to be dangerous, but they were poor quality.”
How on Earth could they tell?

I quite like Ferrero Rocher. I remember them from various ambassadors’ receptions.
