April Fools Day
WARNING: One thing to be absolutely sure about if you do an April Fools’ Day prank is that you don’t hurt anyone or damage property. Check with your parents or teacher first, if you’re not sure.
If you live for practical jokes, Apr. 1 — or, April Fools’ Day — is probably your favorite holiday of the whole year
April Fools’ Day is not a national holiday, but it is celebrated in the United States and many other countries. It is sometimes known as All Fools’ Day. Anyone who wants to have fun can celebrate the day.
What do people do to celebrate?
The main thing people do is practical jokes. Sometimes even businesses or the media will get involved. Here are some of our favorite pranks:
- One year Sports Illustrated wrote an entire article about this great new pitcher the New York Mets had found. His name was Sidd Finch and he could throw the ball 168 miles per hour! The Mets fans were so excited. Only problem was, the story was all a joke. Hidden in the title of the article were the words “Happy April Fools Day”.
- Taco Bell once announced that they had purchased the Liberty Bell and were renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. People were really angry until they found out it was a joke.
- In 1992 NPR (National Public Radio) announced that Richard Nixon was running for president again. They even had a comedian come on and impersonate the former president!
- One year Burger King announced a “Left handed Whopper”. They said they rotated some of the ingredients 180 degrees for left handed people. A lot of people came in the restaurant and ordered one!
- Other fun pranks include flying penguins, UFOs landing, and even changing the value of Pi to 3.0 to make math easier.
