The good, the bad and the ugly: 14 April Fools' jokes from across Canada

Jokesters got their prank on this Sunday for April Fools’ Day from coast to coast, marking the occasion with some pretty elaborate announcements.

In case you were too busy eating your weight in Mini Eggs, we’ve curated a list of the best pranks from across Canada.

Apologies in advance, none of these are real.

The Chalet Sauce fountain

Swiss Chalet Sauce has cult status in Canada, so serving it by the fountain seems almost plausible. A steady stream of Chalet sauce seems like the perfect way to apply the Swiss Chalet’s signature gravy to chicken.

Frunch at New York Fries

Brunch favourites built on top of piles of French fries? YUM! Sadly, this one-day-only promotion coincided with Easter Sunday, which coincidentally meant most New York Fries locations were closed.

Fusion Blends from Foodora

Cheeseburgers, avocado toast, and chocolate cake blended! Canada-wide delivery app Foodora delivered this quirky concept for April Fool’s Day. While it still sounds better than soylent the idea is so unappetizing we’re relieved it isn’t real.

The Chocolate Whopper from Burger King

Flamed grilled chocolate patty, raspberry syrup, candied blood oranges, and white chocolate rings? Somebody send this to Babish and make it happen.

Personal Pizza Pizza

Zombie apocalypse in Ottawa

The view from our windows…..It looks like the #zombie #vaccine we have been working on isn’t as effective as we would have liked during initial testing. Be careful out there today!#zombieapocalypse pic.twitter.com/ZqATCuD77m
