So it's that day again the day companies get to be a bit silly and see who they can fool all in the name of good fun.

So I figured we should have a thread to post the ones we've seen or found round the web.

A few to start off with,

Titan Forge Games announcing Smite Go the mobile game


Doctor Who TV announced news of a Doctor Who and Star Wars cross over


Volkswagen caused a number of journalists to fall for their announcement they were changing their name to Voltswagen to show their commitment to electric cars



Oh and Razer announced RGB hair dye


So what others have people found about?

And now Volkswagen is in regulatory trouble because its "cute" announcement could be perceived as lying to pump up stock prices.

I hate April Fool's Day. It's all stupid bullshit, and we already have enough real stupid bullshit in the world.

The economics-focused YouTube Channel Economics Explained posted this video:


I never finished watching it, but the comments say that it claims that The Suez crisis might cause airships to come back as a means for world trade.

Everyone is doing the "Dishonest person/institution does something honest" jokes, as per usual.
