I really hope this one is a hoax.

Hufu. Don't click the link if you haven't had dinner yet. Really.

I suspect that it is a hoax. The fact that all the media articles cited are associated with Dartmouth makes me suspicious.

However, if it isn't a hoax, you have to wonder; how did they do the taste research?

I think I explained what I meant by "hope this is a hoax" in a response to another comment.

If you're right, i.e., if the guys behind this website are just interested in selling T-shirts and yanking people's chains, then by my definition it's a hoax. For example, the Minneapolis in 1973 Worldcon bid has continued for years, so it's not really a Worldcon bid anymore, but the buttons, T-shirts and room parties that have resulted since 1973 are real enough.
