(KGTV) — A story you may have heard claims that the traditional meal to be served on Veterans Day is ravioli.

It traces the tradition back to the beginning of the holiday which was started by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919.

But it is complete fiction.

According to the website Snopesit all started when someone put it on Wikipedia as a joke in 2010.

Because Wikipedia is an open-source website, anyone can edit entries. In this case, the made-up ravioli story remained on the site for a year before someone finally corrected the misinformation.

So many people repeated it, the fake story stuck.
