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?

Just about everything from fast food chain Taco Bell saying it bought and renamed the Liberty Bell to the Liberty Taco Bell to the state of Alabama changing the total of Pi to a more godly round number of three.

Here are the top 10:

1) 1957 The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest by BBC
2) 1985 Sidd Finch by Sports Illustrated
3) 1962 Instant Color TV by Swedish television tech expert Kjell Stensson
4) 1996 The Taco Liberty Bell by Taco Bell
5) 1977 San Serriffe by the London Guardian
6) 1992 Nixon for President by NPR
7) 1998 Alabama changes the value of Pi by New Mexicans for Science and Reason
8) The Left-Handed Whopper by Burger King & USA Today
9) 1995 Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers by Discover Magazine
10) 1976 Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity by the BBC
