Did you fall for any of these April Fools’ pranks yesterday?

Apr 02, 2017

April Fools’ is usually marred by someone taking the pranks a bit too far.  However, there are a lot of companies and websites that take the opportunity to have a little fun with the customers and visitors. 

Yesterday was no different and while some of the products and services offered were so out there they had to be a prank, there are others that we are secretly hoping that they actually do.

While it might end up not working as well as they hoped, the idea of getting dog cabin crew on a flight would be kind of fantastic.

Being one of the best apps for learning a new language, Duolingo tricked its visitors into thinking they were finally going to find out what that emoji you keep seeing that one friend use on Facebook means.

Another airline had an even bigger vision of the future with a plane that had a pool, billiard table, gym and a park. Being in the pool might be fun during turbulence, but probably no so fun while on the treadmill.

The streaming television giant, Netflix, might have had the best prank of the day with the launch of Netflix Live.  It looked like a test for a new Live TV format but ended up being a 48-minute video of comedy actor Will Arnet doing commentary over people using toasters, microwaves, printers, and over one person parking their car.
