Everything that changes in Germany in April 2024
Quick Glance: April Fools' Day 2024: From Baby Language Translation Apps to a Ghostbuster at Tinder
  • Every year on April 1st, companies and brands introduce new 'products' for jokes. Sweetgreen, Welch's, and Omaha Steaks showcase ideas like baby language translation apps.

  • April 1st, known as April Fools' Day, encourages not trusting anyone and questioning everything. Companies use this day to surprise customers and employees with prank products.

  • Despite occasional failed pranks, marketers continue to rely on fake products to grab attention. Examples include a hot dog-flavored drink from 7-Eleven and a translation app for stoner language.

  • Other prank products include things like AI-powered dolls, banana sleeping bags, and even cheese spritz sprays. Companies like Krispy Kreme, Omaha Steaks, and Quest Nutrition participate in this fun tradition.
