So now that the 1st of April has passed by, we can sit and look back at all the pranks that were pulled by our favourite brands. Yes, our favourite brands decided to pull a fast one on us and many of us believed it to be true as well. Our belief in brands is so strong, that we totally ignored the fact that a sudden change or introduction of something new must be true despite the fact these changes were brought out on April fools day.
Take Tinder for example, who introduced the concept of adding height to men's profile. Some agreed with it whereas some were left flabbergasted. Enough of my rambling, here are the list of some of the best April fool pranks our favourite brands pulled on us.
