From tour guide squirrels to spinach doughnuts, April Fools’ Day brought a wave of jokes across New England. The post Squirrels, spinach doughnuts, and sirens: New England’s best April Fools’ jokes appeared first on Boston.

Here’s a compilation of some of the most memorable jokes from the sports world on April Fools’ Day.

April Fools' Day, which is Wednesday, April 1, likely began in the 15th century. But now it's become more of marketing mischief by big brands.

What is it with major brands announcing questionable flavor combinations every April Fools day? From meat-flavored lollipops to matcha-flavored mayo.

In addition to our own fresh and feral stock of jokes, we wanted to show some love to a few other examples of shenanigans across the arts and humanities.

Among these inspired practical jokes are a variety of genius food pranks including dousing donuts in flour to make them appear as though they're sweet powdered confections, as well as swapping out chocolate sandwich filling for toothpaste to deliver a minty surprise when your prey takes a bite.

The earliest April Fools’ Day hoax on record was in 1698, when people in London were told to go see the annual ceremony of the washing of the lions.
