April Fools' Day 2022: Butterfinger Mayo, Invisible Earbuds and ... (CNET)

The jokes are flying fast and furious for April 1. Bud Light, Tushy and Reddit are getting in on the fun with (mostly) fake products and pranks.

For Friday, the company went to the other extreme with the Tiny Gulp, a mere 0.7 ounces of fizzy, sugary beverage. That means the forecast for Friday in Indianapolis is for a high of 281 Kelvin. Enjoy your day. This fake promotional video gets a nod for the sheer amount of effort put in by Sun-Maid, the brand known for its raisin products. A pitch-perfect promo video sells the concept of simplicity for this revolutionary new product. Regional pizza chain Dion's sliced up some carrots and put them on a piece of pizza to create an unholy salad-pie hybrid for April Fools'. It's a simple but effective joke. Are you on the receiving end of the "go touch some grass" insult? Available in black or blue for $20, the kit includes a pee funnel, a carrying case and can lids to keep you from accidentally drinking the used containers. Meat company Omaha Steaks imagined a set of roll-on perspirants (that's not a typo) that will give you the meat sweats in scents of original beef, lighter fluid and mesquite. Beer brand Busch Light combined April Fools' with upcoming Earth Day for a real product called the Pee in a Busch Kit. The idea is to convince beer drinkers to pee into empty cans that can then be disposed of, rather than urinate on trees. It's time to go back to the past. If you like your April Fools' Day with a side of computing nostalgia, you'll enjoy Synology's concept for a FloppyStation said to offer speed, power and efficiency. Here are some of the funniest, goofiest entries for 2022, so get ready for a little comic relief.

The Among Us account posted a picture of the astronaut with four legs back in 2021, and now the image is a reality. Valheim devs Iron Gate AB, have put out a joke trailer for Rise/Demise of the Deer King. Players in this update would get to live their life as a deer rather than as a Viking and you know what, it's kind of cool. We've since had to adjust to a new way of life and navigate many new Elden Ring-related production challenges. In reality this guy is just messing about in a suit that reminds me of the tech in Spy Kids 3: Game Over. Great film by the way, even had Elijah Wood in it for a matter of minutes. If you're unaware, the Royal Albert Hall is a large concert hall in London and a prestigious space for all sorts of performances. The only problem is that the keyboard in question comes out the left side of the screen, making it impossible to see the screen and use the keyboard.

Overclockers tweeted a video celebrating a 'new' line of PC towers and monitors that will transport you back to the 90s, just in case you're sick of all the RGB of modern set ups contain. It would be a great place to hang out with mates and maybe watch a sitcom, right?If you've somehow not got the hint by now, the House Flipper update is based on the American sitcom, Friends. The two apartments where the majority of the show is set are available to flip and update to your liking which is a pretty cool idea. Elgato's April Fools is the Cam Link Retro, a play on its Cam Link product which content creators wildly use to connect their cameras to their streams.

Bills Celebrate April Fools' Day With Hilarious Fake Alternate Uniforms (Sports Illustrated)

Chicken-wing themed uniforms in Buffalo? With ranch? The Bills were in the holiday spirit.
