The Onion has been entertaining internet audiences with their satirical news stories for years (and also faking some people out). But their headlines are usually along the lines of something like this:

And we all have a good laugh at that person’s expense. But this example of a person falling for a headline from The Onion is actually really nice and heartwarming, so we just had to share it with you.
An Australian fella named Adam Liaw noticed an Onion story on Twitter, and he decided to reply to it.
No kidding, but my son has been as school for exactly ONE TERM and this has already happened about 9 times. https://t.co/WJVQo443bl

Liaw is a chef – take a look at what he decided to do next.
I am going to write a recipe for something that you can make 25 portions of in 5 minutes that can keep unrefrigerated for 8 hours and contains no dairy, nuts or eggs. I don't know what it is yet but I will make it work for the good of us all.

How nice!
It will also fit in a standard Tupperware, cost less than $10 in ingredients, weigh less than 1 kg for transport, and be able to survive a bus ride in a school backpack without destroying its integrity. I GOT YOU ON THIS PARENTS.

The next day Liaw came back and shared his creation. Follow the directions closely…

You're going to need:
25 plain breadsticks – $2.50
375g dark chocolate – $2.50
a pack of sugar strands or nonpareil – $2
TOTAL: $7.00 pic.twitter.com/YMopaPjAuM— Adam Liaw (@adamliaw) March 21, 2019
Just microwave the chocolate for 1 minute, then blasts of 30 seconds until it's melted. Probably 3-4 minutes all up.

Shake off as much chocolate as you can. You'll need to top up the glass with a teaspoon or so of chocolate every 2-3 sticks. Then lay them on a tray of baking paper.

Then you're just scattering them with some sprinkles. pic.twitter.com/C7nGmXFfFM

This is where you end up after about 10 minutes of dunking and sprinkling. Of course, if you get the kids to do them themselves this will take YOU zero minutes. You can even make them fancier if you want. For example… pic.twitter.com/UrkxE7lIKL

Good idea from the chef! And simple to make, too!
Here are some that look like people. They sell these in the baking aisle of a regular supermarket like it's no big deal. pic.twitter.com/WAiX6hcpah

And here's the whole gang in a Tupperware that your kid will somehow lose even though they spend the entire day in ONE ROOM. Total weight = 400g (including Tupperware). pic.twitter.com/ZW2KWHyvWN

And finally, you’ll be able to use the leftover chocolate for other recipes.
Oh, I forgot. You end up with a full glass of melted chocolate. Just pour that onto a sheet of baking paper and spread it out. Wait for it to harden then break it up and put it in a ziploc bag for next time.

Liaw was seriously praised for his efforts.
You are a magical unicorn and I am forever indebted to you.

On behalf of all the parents out there, thanks, Mr. Liaw!
