7 ridiculous food-related April Fools' Day jokes we didn't fall for

OK, first things first. Don’t get us wrong – we love a good April Fools’ joke – but we are also in one of those moods where we feel like being petty about some food-related pranks…mostly because we’re hangry right now.

The whole of 2021 has already felt like a joke, so we don’t really need anything else “funny” to pile it on, especially when it comes to grub, the only thing getting us through the day.

So since we’re being savage, here are seven ridiculous food-related April Fools’ Day jokes we didn’t fall for.

To be honest we’d actually like it if this product existed. If there are dive bar scented candles why is a fresh pepperoni pizza scented one so outrageous?

In all seriousness, we’d probably prefer the smell of A&W’s signature onion rings over the tequila-esque industrial grade one we’ve been running into more often than not. We’re not here for the hangover flashbacks.

Switching to the Canadian metric system? Now THAT is a seriously bold move McDonald’s. You almost had us there!

Chicken Popcorn sounds great and we’re actually going to push for this to be created. You played yourself Pizza Pizza.

If you’re in university you don’t need this product as your house likely already smells like glorious KD regularly. No KD essential oil kit necessary.

It’s not a restaurant chain, but Roots has entered the April Fools’ Day arena with a Timbit leather bag. Frankly, this looks like a spring wardrobe staple from where we’re sitting…
