Porter Airlines bemused social media users with an article in its in-flight magazine that said belsnickeling is a popular tradition in the province. Cake and hot drinks are also involved. Could the Nova Scotian who fed this hilarious lie to Porter please show yourself, Twitter user emilydawnlove wrote in a post that got about 850 likes. But the idea was met with surprise and some mockery from many Nova Scotians who said they'd never heard of it even as a few lonely voices suggested it was a real thing, or at least used to be, in certain parts of the province.
