Not to sound hyperbolic,hd ??? ?? but April Fools' Day is the worst. Not because of all the shitty pranks by attention-starved YouTubers, but because of the shitty pranks by attention-starved multinational corporations.
April Fools' Day is meant to be light-hearted and fun, but nothing takes the winds out of its sails than the onslaught of bad brand jokes. Thus to our torture, and to save you some time, we've gathered some of the worst April Fools Day tweets made by companies that are supposedly worth millions of dollars. Allegedly, all the money can't go to funnier jokes.

Eye-rolling jokes and poor taste announcements aren't just limited to food brands on this day. Tech companies love this sort of stuff — just look at the Nothing phone company that posted about its new "Micro Phone" cause "size doesn't matter." Or Tinder posting a LinkedIn ad for a VP of Ghost Hunting.

This one isn't much of a bad April's Fools joke, it's just insane. See Duolingo On Ice: The Multilingual Musical. This is actually real and going on tour soon.
