Play Harmless April Fools Day Pranks on Your Friends

It was in the year 1998 when Burger King launched an advertisement in US Today to announce the introduction of a brand new addition to their menu: "Left-Handed Whopper". It was specially designed for the 32 millions of left-handed Americans. Burger King said that the “Left-Handed Whopper” was made up of the same ingredients as the original Whopper such as lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc., but the only point of distinction was that all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees to benefit their left-handed customers. According to the advertisement it was all about the special customer care for a special day – the April Fool's day. A follow-up release was issued the next day revealing that the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax. But the most interesting fact was that Burger King was barraged by a huge volume of orders for the 'right-handed version' of whopper.

Lorraine Thomson, Marketing Director of Burger King UK said, “Everyone knows that it takes two hands to hold a Whopper, not one.” She said that it was an April Fool's Day joke – a simple approach to put bright curves on people's faces. After all, they are in the business of serving delicious food and all they wanted to do was make it really fun. There's no better way for Burger King to gather all their customers together and celebrate the April Fool's Day together. It was also a unique way to remind people that left handed guys might often have difficulties doing certain things that right handed people could take for granted.
April Fool's Day is a day to make fun and that spirit of fun is usually at it's peak that day. Quipping April Fool's Day jokes and playing pranks on your friends and coworkers are what the celebration is all about. The spirit of fun is at the full swing when you know that you get to play pranks and jokes on people and just get away with it. But what is important to remember is that you should put together a good assortment of safe and funny April Fool's pranks to pull on your friends and acquaintances. Practical jokes have often proved to be really flop and have often pulled down the spirit of April Fool's fun, although some really safe practical jokes still works perfectly. Just make sure it is safe, fun filled and harmless.
You can put lemon juice in your friend's water and when he would take drinks of it, his face will surely make other guys around him roll with laughter. You can superglue some coins to the sidewalk that has a lot of people walking around and watch people trying to pick up the coins. Playing practical April Fool’s pranks on friends like these may be really hilarious as long as they are not harming and hurting others. Let your jokes add spice to their April Fool's day celebration. The goal should be to bring smiles to people's faces; not tears in their eyes.
