Do you have a good April Fool’s story?

I kind of remember a story from an April Fool’s joke that was pulled on my mother when I was very young. It however turned out a major backfire to the perpetrator and the rest of us as well. Someone switched the sugar and the salt (a standard joke I believe) and mom was so kind to make a double batch of cookies for us. Well since the usual proportions were a bit backwards and the salt was so strong we thought that we had dipped the cookies into the Great Salt Lake before eating them. Needless to say one bite was too much and we had to throw away the entire double batch of cookies. Yes it was a pretty salty ole’ April Fool’s Joke.

There was one other Aril Fool’s joke that was pulled on me much later in life that just came to mind. When was working for Kara Chocolates we use to cover Oreo cookies with white and milk chocolate. One year the ladies gave me a couple of them to try on April Fool’s day but I didn’t really get the connection until after I had eaten the cookies and wondered why they had a slightly minty taste to them and the creamy filling was way off. Later after downing both of the cookies even though something didn’t feel quite right and their laugher had burst forth into a mighty choral applause I realized the white filling was actually TOOTH PASTE.
