Fake products abound for April Fools' |
Love it or hate it, it's April Fools' Day! The one day a year you should trust no one and question everything. The roots of April Fools' Day date back to before the 15th century, eventually evolving into the modern-day trickster's holiday for pranking a friend, family member, co-worker − or your customers. Even though some companies have had April Fools' pranks backfire, each year, more fake products pop up to try and get some laughs and attention. How about some hot dog-flavored water? A stoner lingo translation app? Maybe you'd rather sleep inside a banana skin. 🤣 Get in on the joke with these "products." | 7-Eleven teamed up with Miracle Seltzer to create a new lineup of sparkling water flavors − including Big Bite Hot Dog. 7-Eleven |
