Highlights and Lowlights from April Fools’ Day

It can be risky for businesses to partake in April Fools’ Day tom-foolery. Some people like to have fun with it but a lot of people do NOT like being pranked.

Here are some businesses who gave it a go anyway:

McDonald’s

In Australia, McDonald’s teased a new sandwich called the “McFry” – a Quarter Pounder with French fries stuffed inside. And people were so excited that they were disappointed that this WASN’T a real thing.
