TORONTO — Late night host John Oliver delivered a “mystery” lunch of dumplings to Joe Fresh’s head office, the Toronto Star reports. The prank was a follow-up to a segment on Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight taking aim at large clothing retailers for accepting sweatshop goods while maintaining plausible deniability. The dumplings were addressed to Joe Fresh’s creative director Mario Grauso, who was not in the office. Oliver plans to send similar mystery meals, prepared at minimal cost, to executives at H&M, Walmart, Gap, and The Children’s Place, challenging them to eat them without knowing their provenance.
