 April Fools' Day, celebrated on April 1st, is a long-standing tradition filled with playful pranks and jokes. Though its origins remain mysterious, theories suggest ties to ancient festivals like the Roman Hilaria or the confusion caused by the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. Over the years, famous hoaxes—such as the BBC’s "Swiss Spaghetti Harvest" and Taco Bell’s "Taco Liberty Bell"—have entertained the public. However, not all pranks are harmless, as some have led to panic and controversy. Around the world, different cultures celebrate the day with unique traditions, from France’s "Poisson d’Avril" to Scotland’s two-day "Hunt the Gowk." Whether simple or elaborate, the key to a great April Fools' prank is to keep it lighthearted and fun!
