> I'm leaning more to "this is real", but it's astounding there's no reference to it before yesterday.

Why? It wasn't nationwide, it was local. They said a few hundred boxes on shelves for less than 24hrs.

The only people to know would be people seeing two 60 sec local news clips. Info didn't spread the same back then as it does now.

Again, not proof that it happened, but also not a shock that if it happened there aren't records of it.
