Washington Post Today is actually April 1, or April Fools’ Day, when it’s considered funny and appropriate for brands to post inaccurate information.
At The Washington Post, we like to get into the spirit of the holiday by rounding up every corporate April Fools’ joke we can find and debunking them all in a humorless list. Let’s get started.
Fake Art and Entertainment
Omaha Steaks did not publish a three-book series of “Meat-Cute Romance.”
The Louvre isn’t turning its pyramid into a Bass Pro Shops megastore. French April Fools’ Day is however called “Poisson d’Avril,” which translates to “Fish of April.”
Chocolate Droppa Tiny Desk? Nope, that’s just Kevin Hart.
