Slovaks are spreading a CRAZY hoax: In a well-known store, they say…

Page Hoaxes and frauds drew attention to another case that Slovaks are also spreading. This is a photo of a package of carrots sold in the British chain Tesco.

Edited shot

On the lower part of the package you can see the inscription – Grown in Chernobyl.

“When you look closely, you can see that someone edited the photo not very cleverly: the original inscription is white and the word Chernobyl is obviously added,” writes the page.

Moreover, the same image was already circulating on social networks in 2020.

“Although we are experiencing a cucumber season this time of year, the events of the past few days offer enough material for conspirators and disinformation. Some of them probably don’t follow the events closely enough, so they are dependent on spreading old hoaxes,” they supply Hoaxes and frauds.

How did it all come about?

Server Snopes looked at the case already in 2021. The original edited image was then one of the first to be uploaded to Twitter by a certain Mike Neaversonowner of a growing company.

Its author explained under the post that the photo is fake. It was probably just a humorous reaction to the “affair” of the British Tesco, which was criticized by farmers at the time for selling a product called British Carrots, but on the packaging it said Grown in Spain. Testo later admitted that the country of origin, Spain, was incorrectly listed on the packaging.

“Just to be clear, because I’m afraid this has gone too far in the farming community. I can confirm that Tesco does not sell poorly photographed radioactive carrots.” Neaverson wrote at the time.
