Chiquita Overthrows Brazil

We've just overthrown the government of Brazil. We apologize to those who have been served a misleading message from a fake Chiquita account. We have not overthrown a government since 1954.

Chiquita first claims it has overthrown Brazil's government, then apologizes and says the post came from a fake account, adding that it has not overthrown a government since 1954. The joke references the United Fruit Company's historical role in the 1954 Guatemalan coup, treating the banana brand like a political power.
