From Big Ben going digital to a Swiss spaghetti harvest, the range of pranks is vast. Every year, media and brands outdo themselves with innovative and mind-boggling hoaxes that leave everyone questioning reality.

Texas jokesters have also made headlines with their outrageous April Fools' Day pranks, including a range from a Whataburger-scented candle to creatively photoshopped images in the Houston area. Cincinnati hasn't been left behind either; who could forget the beer baths and chili pranks that had everyone in stitches?

It's a day of laughter, surprises, and sometimes, a touch of skepticism about every piece of news we encounter.

Fun Fact: The tradition of April Fools' Day can be traced back to the 1500s when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, causing confusion and leading to pranks being played on the wrong dates. Another fun fact is that Google once pranked its users with a 'Mic Drop' button in Gmail, causing a wave of accidental emails sent with the animation!
