I remember when rich snippets (one type of those widgets) came out there were a lot of funny examples. One for a common query about cancer treatments that pulled data from a dodgy holistic site saying that "carrots cured most types of cancer" (or something like that).

There was a similar one where Google emphatically claimed a US quarter was worth five cents in a pretty and large snippet graphic.



The most memorable rich snippet humor I've seen is a horse breeder sharing a story of how her searches gave snippets with my little ponies as the preview image.


I recall in the last uk election google got the infographic of party leaders about 60-70% wrong.

And quite often a people also ask refine is just some random guys comment from redit.
