This is how April Fools' Day started and some of the brand pranks ... (USA TODAY)

After the COVID shutdown curbed April Fools' Day in 2020, brands started pranks even earlier. Does it always work? Ask Volkswagen.

The announcement comes with a pretty obvious hint: "This launch is conveniently timed to April Fools’ Day." "April Fool’s Day is definitely useful as a way of breaking through the clutter of messaging most of us are exposed to," McGrath said in an email exchange. The Catholic Church also may have had a hand in bringing April Fools' Day to the fore earlier in history. By the 19th century, April Fools' Day had become a mainstay of American culture. Among last year's April Fools' best teases: Velveeta's new line of V by Velveeta's beauty products including moisturizer and night cream. Back to Volkswagen's name change stunt, the company eventually confessed on March 30, 2021 that the announcement was an April Fools' joke. At the time, White House spokesperson Mike McCurry played along, the Inquirer recalled on last year's 25th anniversary of the stunt, saying, “We’ll be doing a series of these things. The joke feature wound up attached to many emails, unintentionally, and had to be turned off. "Even before widespread social media, this caused a major stir," McGrath said. But it turned out to be a poorly played joke. So how did it become a time for jokes and pranks? It's the latest twist on a holiday that has its beginnings centuries ago.

The purpose of your list is to help people come up with fun things to do that are not hurtful or insulting. It is believed prank victims are only “fools” if they fall for a trick early in the day. Even though the news was spread, some people clearly didn’t get the message in time and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1. Include the date and write a short explanation of why you have chosen that date. Those who clung to the old ways were called “April Fools.” The most likely origin* seems to trace back to Rome, Italy, in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII decided it would be a good idea to adopt the new Gregorian calendar* (named after himself).

April Fools' Day: How It Began And Some of Most-Remembered ... (NBC Chicago)

Here's everything you should know about April Fools' Day, including how it started and some of the most famous pranks in history.

In 1975, the BBC aired a mock report about Switzerland’s spaghetti harvest, claiming that spaghetti is grown from trees. It even became a two-day event in Scotland. Pranks included sending people to do foolish errands and putting “kick me” signs on other people’s backs. It’s the earliest known unambiguous reference to the holiday. The exact origin of April Fools’ Day remains unknown, but historians came up with several theories of how the day started. The pranks pulled on them included putting paper fish on their backs, symbolizing easily caught fish and a gullible person. It’s around that time of the year when pranksters pull tricks on someone.

REVEALED: The best of the best April Fools' Day 2022 pranks (PerthNow)

From the stomach-churning to the aww-inducing, here's your round-up of some of this year's best (though some may argue worst) April Fools' Day pranks.

“I thought we were going to give the game away, to be honest. Pushing the culture forward, don’t miss out on this #Flexclusive release.” According to The Shovel, an amused Josh Frydenberg “can’t believe” Australians fell for it, and described what is thought to be the longest set-up ever for a joke. “In a stunning new deal, Seven has swooped on the iconic soap to begin a new chapter for the Ramsay Street serial.” In what feels a lot like a Truman Show moment, The Shovel has revealed: “Australia’s Federal government is a joke”. But it is not to be, with an April Fools’ disclaimer at the bottom of the story dealing fans a crushing blow. But reports of the sale of the boatshed are Bulls..t with a capital “B”, so it seems fitting enough. “Neighbours has been thrown a lifeline, heading back to Channel Seven, 37 years after it first premiered on the network,” the article read. The beloved footy star hinted at a return to the AFL in a series of tweets, recruiting a number of cronies to play along. While we were over the moon to hear about the return of the much-loved lime-flavoured Skittles, mixing them with chocolate is a hard no from us. The fact the more childish of us swapped out a word or two from the catchy tune to link the beans with flatulence to impress our playmates is an aside. “We’re excited to introduce this delicious new treat, with M&M’S and Skittles pre-mixed so you can enjoy a chocolate and fruity flavour in one bite,” M&M’s Australia posted this morning.
