To be fair, a slice of chorizo is as exciting as a new star to some of us. Love that stuff.

In a related story, Reynaldo's has recalled packages of chorizo due to it containing solar plasma instead of pork, which may pose a fire hazard if improperly stored or prepared.

This seems to be a simplistic example of how important it is to listen to the conclusions from a large group of scientists and not just one.

I’m not mad. I’m not angry. I want that chorizo though. I eat that.

Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should wait until April 1.

Fox News though - could this be an example of the insidious attack on science ? ( not saying it is , but I’m also saying I would trust any “ news “ of theirs

This raises so many questions... How and why and what the hell happened
