MANILA, Philippines – April 1 is also known as the day when we should be even more wary of the things we see and read on the internet.
This includes pregnancies, break-ups, new menu items, cancellations, and any other big announcement – whether from friends or from brands you follow. The rule of thumb on April 1 is: if it sounds too good, too shocking, or too disgusting to be true, it probably isn’t.
Here are just some of the pranks brands have pulled this April Fool’s. We’re happy to report that these are not real – and the world is all the better for it.
