Were you caught out?
Birds Eye Waff-holes [using the potato pieces leftover from the waffles]
Dole pineapple flavoured eggs, and Terry's mint chocolate toothpaste were all advertised yesterday.
Oh and Hyundai have autonomous Mobilet portable toilets which will appear when you need them. At your own convenience presumably. I think they should have called them Deliverloo
Krisy Kreme announced the withdrawal of their original glazed donut, while Waitrose said they would only sell Easter eggs to adults, not children.
Subway were offering their best rolls liquidised into protein rich drinks...
All very classy work by the marketing guys. I wonder how many people were fooled. Apparently there were fewer pranks in the media this year - it seems people are getting more wary of fake news.
I learned two new words yesterday [genuine, not AF pranks] Thank you Catriona and Sue, for Huntigowk [Scottish term for April Fool's Day] and Pittakionophobia [fear of sticky labels]
Every year on 1st April, I lie in bed with a happy smile on my face, thinking, "I wonder what Ang will have for us today?" You never disappoint!

DeleteThose are funny! A very eco Kiwi girl I follow on Insta asked her readers on a poll whether she should go by bus or bike when she goes into labour at the end of her pregnancy. She said her husband would go by car but she wanted to go eco to the end. It made me laugh as they hire an electric car when they can't do public transport!

ReplyDeleteLately, it has felt like every day is April Fool's Day! Who needs pranks? Just watch the news!
ReplyDeleteIt is rather sad, isn't it?
DeleteFear of sticky labels made me laugh! JanF
ReplyDeleteI am surrounded by Post It notes as I sit at my computer [mostly cheery little messages from Rosie]
DeleteI didn't see any April 1 pranks other than yours, as we don't have TV, and the radio was very much business as usual, focussed on the effects of the ice storm some kilometres south of us - fallen trees, no power and so on.
ReplyDeleteOh dear
DeleteThat reminds me of the 'fields of Spaghetti'.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr Dimbleby!
DeleteI've just read today of a post from a defence newsfeed of a difficulty in locating all the stealth planes... 'we're wandering around the runways and hangars squinting at the spaces'.... I checked the date...ah. OK.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣
DeleteThat is good one!!
DeleteBrilliant, I seem to have missed all of those, but then I rarely watch adverts these days.
ReplyDeleteThe Police in our town did 'an invisible police car' ... pictured on Facebook for all to NOT see. Saying it would be parked in and around town to monitor speeding and lack of insurance. It was worrying how many people did not 'get it' at all. :-0
Sadly, some people find it hard to see the joke.
