On April 1, 2017, British magazine Families published an article on its website positing that soft-drink company Coca-Cola was creating a version of its standard drink carbonated with helium: The idea of drinking a Coke and talking with a high-pitched quack may seem like a welcome diversion from stress caused by the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Unfortunately, however, this item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article contained a disclaimer noting that it was an April Fools' Day joke: This Research never happened - Happy April Fool's Day. This is not the first time a claim has circulated that a beverage would be infused with helium for comedic effect. Past helium-drink jokes have included wine and beer. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
