 Today we celebrate the playful child in all of us. This would be a good national holiday!  It makes more sense to me than some of them.  Here are some funny April Fool’s jokes that were played on people by fast food chains… who apparently have a good sense of humor! I thought I’d share.

Happy April Fool’s Day, everyone!  I’m going to meet a friend for lunch and plan a field trip to photograph with friends, walk in the park with my grandbaby, color Easter eggs, and enjoy the beautiful weather.  So join me and dedicate today to the playful child within all of us.

According to Wikipedia:

“In 1998, Burger King ran an ad in USA Today, saying that people could get a Whopper for left-handed people whose condiments were designed to drip out of the right side.   Not only did customers order the new burgers, but some specifically requested the “old”, right-handed burger.

In 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times announcing that they had purchased the Liberty Bell to “reduce the country’s debt” and renamed it the “Taco Liberty Bell.” When asked about the sale, White House press secretary Mike McCurry replied tongue-in-cheek that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold and would henceforth be known as the Lincoln Mercury Memorial.”
