My day started at 5:30 a.m. doing a running commentary on Senator Cory Booker's filibuster in the Senate. Just taking a break to look at the news I saw something that made my jaw drop.
Here's the only site that treats it like a real story. Yahoo! News had the same story showing in a Google link, but when you went to it, it said the page wasn't there. The story was that Warren Buffett had bought Tesla for a trillion dollars in cash. They do a pretty convincing job of it until they very end where they let you know that it is in April Fool's Day joke.
But there's been a smattering of all kinds of online jokes and Photoshop pictures made for the day. Some are so good you think they might be real. A Reese's peanut butter sandwich might be good.
Would Donald Trump buy the Dr Pepper flavored Tic Tac mints? Maybe Sidney Powell.
________
A Nestle's Crunch bar that uses just plain cooked white rice instead of Rice Krispie type rice isn't too appetizing.
Of course, everybody wants Chicken Curry Ice Cream.
Habenero based sun screen would make your skin scream more than any overdone sun tan.
Yahoo!'s prickly cactus keyboard is a great way to learn about cactus needles.
This was a joke during the construction of the Copenhagen Metro.
The origins of the day are lost to ancient history. It could date back to the Roman Empire, the dark ages, the Renaissance, who knows?
What about a plaid paint job for a Scottish fighter jet?
Heinz Dubai Pistachio favored baked beans sounds good.
The experimental palace guard bear fur hat.
Edible recipe cards sounds like another good idea.
Considering the cost of eggs, doubling up with pineapple flavoring, you just have to wonder how they got it in there.
McDonald's just doesn't have enough drive thru's so the came up with a new idea.
How many times has the app said the press any key? We'll, now you've got the keyboard to make it easy.
There are endless number of April Fool's Day written sayings and jokes, like why do eggs like April Fools' Day? They love practical yolks.
