Richard Nixon Eggplants
In May 1973, New York magazine ran a photo of an eggplant that looked like Richard Nixon. In 2017, the magazine's blog remembered it as "Maybe the funniest page New York has ever published."
But it turns out that there were quite a few other Nixon-resembling eggplants reported in the news in '73 and '74. For a while it was quite the thing to do. I think there are just a lot of eggplants that look like Nixon.

Most of those eggplants looked more like Jimmy Durante or Bob Hope than Richard Nixon

To be fair, the New York eggplant is the one that looks the most like Nixon.
