I enjoy April Foolsâ Day, especially writing about some of the better brand âpranksâ every year. The only downside is when a brand launches something genuinely real on April 1. Twenty years ago, Google launched its public beta of email service Gmail on April 1st, leaving some wondering if it was a prank, more so since the tech company would annually announce several fake products or new features on April Foolsâ Day.
No one likes getting played, but to âbite the onionâ on April 1st as a member of the media, especially stings. Suffice it to say that skepticism is heightened on the first day of April.
This year, Velveeta threw caution to the wind and announced a new product that makes âliving La Dolce Velveetaâ easier on April 1st. Velveeta has unveiled a limited edition semi-permanent hair dye inspired by its signature golden hue.
