Yogurt at the World Chess Championship

The 1978 World Chess Championship was between Anatoly Karpov, the champion, and Viktor Korchnoi, the challenger.

According to Wikipedia: "When Karpov's team sent him a blueberry yogurt during a game without any request for one by Karpov, the Korchnoi team protested, claiming it could be some kind of code. They later said this was intended as a parody of earlier protests, but it was taken seriously at the time."

Karpov eventually retained the title, winning the match by 16½ points to 15½.
