It's true, too; Chiquita was vital in overthrowing the Guatemalan government.

I was honestly surprised they casually acknowledged it like that
Both tweets are fake.
Parody accounts. Both tweets are in fact real tweets. As we can see.
Actually strike that. I don’t know that. There are ways to alter pictures so I guess it could be fake in that they never were twated out by anyone on the site.
I have not tried it on Twitter, but it's extremely easy to use a browser's console and change any text on a webpage, so I'm not surprised it's fake
A parody account posting something that's perceived as coming from a non-parody account falls under my definition of "fake." What I meant was, Chiquita didn't post either tweet.
Well, that's the internet for you
