22 Corporate April Fools' Day Pranks, Ranked from Best to Lamest
Well, we survived another April Fools’ Day. And, as it always goes, most brands unveiled some kind of mild, inoffensive prank for the holiday.
Here are 23 of the more notable April Fools’ Day pranks from yesterday, which we’ve subjectively ranked from best to lamest.
1. Jagermeister went edgy with the “Jagerbong” . . . a gift box that helps you turn an old Jagermeister bottle into a bong. It includes a pipe, a lighter, eye drops, and a hackey sack.

2. The “L.A. Times”parodied the “New York Times” rep for writing about the rest of the U.S. like it’s a mysterious, cultural wasteland, quote, “No one associates New York, a city in the eastern United States, with good restaurants. That’s beginning to change.”

3. This got a lot of press coverage leading up to April Fools’ Day . . . but yes, Tinder’s new “height verification” feature is fake.
4. Honda Canada announced a new “polite horn,” where instead of honking, your horn makes a passive aggressive coughing sound.
5. McDonald’s Australia posted a picture of the McPickle . . . which is basically a Big Mac with a bunch of pickles replacing the meat. But it may backfire . . . because someone tweeted instructions on how to actually order it.

Pickle lovers, it’s the news you’ve all been waiting for. We’re super stoked to announce the launch of our brand new McPickle Burger. It’s time to tuck into juicy, flavoursome pickles layered between melted cheese, ketchup sauce and toasted sesame seed buns. It’s sure to be a treat for all your senses. #dailynuggets #mcpickle #pickleoverload #maccas #imlovinit

10. McDonald’s announced “Shake Sauce” . . . little packets of shakes to dip your fries in. The comments are all people wishing it were real . . . it’s never good when people like your fake products more than your real ones.

12. KFC announced chicken-flavored ice cream, infused with bits of candied chicken skin in a cornbread cone.
13. Lego announced a new “Find My Brick” app that scans a pile of Legos for the one you want. I know brands don’t want to be TOO edgy, but this is just TOO un-edgy.

15. Google let you play the old school video game “Snake” on top of Google Maps. That’s not exactly a prank, it’s more of an Easter egg they’d roll out any other day of the year.
16. Hasbro played on the “millennials kill everything” cliché by announcing Mr. Potato Head has been replaced with Mr. Avocado Head. But it’s not landing great, probably because millennial-avocado jokes are just so played out.

17. Michelob Ultra started an online petition to create the first-ever cat park. Not sure what that has to do with super light beer, but there you go.
Dogs have dedicated parks everywhere. Cats have 0. Let’s change that.

21. Dippin’ Dots announced a new roll-on deodorant but, unfortunately, it appears they only spent about 30 seconds on an AWFUL Photoshop job.

22. And finally, Starbucks announced Pupbucks, a store for dogs. The video they made for it isn’t close to as funny as they think it is . . . quote, “I have a whole grain beagle for a good boy.” Nope.

Revelation
Today I am reading Revelation. I don’t know what lesson will be learned yet. But at this moment, I feel that everyday, God, more than likely, wants to give us a revelation for the day. Something which we can use to strengthen, encourage or guide us to go though the day. We should expect revelation daily or ask for it.
I opened the book of Revelation to Chapter 1. In the first verse, I am told that this is the revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto him. I asked who is ‘him’? In the past I have thought this was revelation given to John. But today, I believe the book of Revelation reveals the revelation God gave to Jesus Christ about things that must shortly come to pass. I say that because in the last sentence of verse 1 and continuing on to verse 2, it is written that the revelation of Jesus Christ was sent by the angel of God to John. John is a servant of God who bare record of the testimony of Jesus Christ. This testimony of Jesus Christ reveals all things that he, Jesus Christ, saw that must come to pass. John witnessed the angel bringing to him this testimony and he wrote it in the book called Revelation. The book of revelation is the revelation of what God gave to Jesus Christ of things that must come to pass.
God showed unto Jesus Christ ‘things which must shortly come to pass’ (verse 1, Revelation Chapter 1). Those things were delivered to John by the angel of God. John recorded it and was a witness to this day.
We have the book of revelation but we must also ask for revelation of God’s word if it is not understood. In verse 3 it reads “blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: fo the time is at hand”.
Revelation sent by God brings light to our pathway(s). As the scriptures say, His Word is a lamp unto our feet (Psalm 119:105). Ask for revelation. Read Revelation.
