20 Oblivious People Who 'Ate The Onion'

Many people like to claim there's fake news everywhere. And while those claims have been exaggerated to some extent, there's also some truth to them. Especially when it comes to news that's meant to be wholly fake simply for the sake of good entertainment. This is where sites like The Onion come in, producing satire articles that create a great parody of the world we've come to inhabit, and while they're meant to look like real news articles, they're not intended to be taken seriously.

However, some people aren't quite aware of this intentional fake news article phenomenon. Often, they'll react to a fake article with shock and even outrage. When this happens, it can be pretty funny for everyone else who is much more aware of the satire. When people miss these obvious jokes and reblog or respond to these articles as if they were factual, this is called "eating The Onion." Here are 20 people who ate The Onion.
