Enron has unveiled a new product called the 'Enron Egg ,' the world's first at-home micro-nuclear reactor that can power an entire home for 10 continuous years .

The product is entirely fictional, created as a 'parody' in what appears to be part of an elaborate joke.

Enron collapsed in a spectacular scandal in 2001 and its name was purchased by Connor Gaydos , an online figure who pulls off public stunts to mock misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Gaydos is best known for the book Birds Aren't Real: The True Story of Mass Avian Murder and the Lest Surveillance Campaign .
