On 19 April 2016, the web site Now8News published an article reporting that a California woman caused a ten-car pileup after finding Jesus in a candy bar she was eating: The claim was widely reproduced across dozens of unreliable viral news sites after it was published, occasionally with changed details (such as the location moving to Santa Fe). However, the image of a multi-car crash was from 2008, and was in no way related to a story about a woman seeing Jesus in a KitKat. Neither Now8News nor any subsequent reproductions carried a disclaimer warning readers their content was completely fabricated. Previous Now8News hoaxes include claims that a man sexually assaulted a pig in a Walmart bathroom, aborted fetuses were among the ingredients of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, Walmart bananas contained deadly parasitic worms, a woman was caught during in a sex act with a sausage in a Walmart, a different woman was arrested for sampling tampons in an aisle at a Walmart, a man fed his unfaithful fiancee's remains to her unsuspecting parents, a man was found cannibalizing a teen inside a haunted house attraction, a lottery winner died after gold plating his testicles, a tube of cookie dough exploded inside a female Walmart shoplifter, a riot ensued following a gastrointestinal incident related to vodka butt shots, and police uncovered a Satanic dungeon at a Chuck E. Cheese location.
