About April Fools' Day
Ends: Apr 01, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
April Fools Day is the official day of pranks worldwide, and you never quite know what to expect. No doubt, the best stunt ever pulled was the Orson Wells "War of the Worlds" broadcast—but that didn't happen on April 1.
British media takes the prize as the world's most prolific pranksters (a high percentage of the top 100 pranks of all time come from them). Still, many companies and industries have discovered that pulling the perfect practical joke on April Fools' Day is a fabulous way to build brand value and prestige.
What have people been fooled by on April 1?
