What was the craziest April Fool’s Day prank you’ve witnessed?

My dad told my mum, total deadpan, “we’re getting a divorce.” He then pulled up a lawyer on his computer and went into detail why they needed to divorce, and who got custody of the kids, and all that. It went on for a bit too long in my opinion, but just as my mum was about to start listing his flaws, he went all “APRILS FOOLS” and she had to laugh. I was more confused then amused. And that one time I opened a jar of peanuts and a snake jumped out at me 🤣🤣🤣Classic

[34 years ago: When Mt. Trashmore 'blew up' in an April Fools' Day prank](https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/history/mt-trashmore-blew-up-fm-99-april-fools-prank-1992-virginia-beach/291-533993145) “WNOR-FM 99's morning show DJs at the time, Henry "The Bull" Del Toro and Tommy Griffiths, told their audience that methane had amassed underneath the popular Virginia Beach park -- which is built on top of an old landfill -- and that it could possibly explode at any moment.”

During high school, one of my environmental teachers was standing outside of her classroom door, holding a small fuzzy circular object- no bigger than a quarter. She went out of her way to show everyone who walked in the door what she had and made everyone touch it; this wasn’t super abnormal for the class as she would bring in things ranging from seashells, seeds, exotic fruits, and other miscellaneous items found in nature. Well after every student touched it, she went on to teach the lecture for the day which happened to be about squirrels. She proceeds to tell the class that what we actually touched was a Squirrels Scrotum and kept the bit going up til the last minute of class, where she said April Fools. All in all, was a pretty good prank. Probably one of funnier highschool memories I have.

A friend's daughter called her boyfriend while driving his car and told him she accidentally put diesel into his gas tank and didn't know where she was or what to do next.
