April fools day isn’t a real holiday by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a really fun day – especially for foodies like me. We’ve done April fools day pranks for as long as I can remember, often messing around with the food that we eat, as that’s always a fun prank. In my family, it was always important to my dad that these types of pranks be funny and not mean or picking on each other, so I find that food-related ones are always the best. Many of the ones on this list are ones that our children have spoken about year on year, wondering what will happen next. We do not very often repeat these pranks, so have had to get more creative as time has gone on.

Eating Cake and Cocktails at Hotel Sacher
There are lots of different places in Vienna, Austria to eat cakes! One of the more fancy locations is Hotel Sacher, which has one of those famous chocolate cakes. Outside the cafe part of the hotel, there is always a long queue of people waiting to get in to eat. We didn’t have to wait too long in the queue, due to the time of day that we went, which was a plus! Even with a long wait, if you are a fan of cakes, it’s well worth it. They give you a big menu that has a bit of history in it and the seating inside is very full but beautiful. It’s a lovely place for desserts! We shared a bunch of cakes so we all could try everything, which was a fantastic idea.

Zzzopla Thunder Ball – Bounce, Spin and Play

It’s quite a bit larger and heavier than the mini, creating something that doesn’t quite adapt itself as well to being a fidget, but does have some very fun uses.

Trying KFC’s new Pickle Menu
I am known widely as someone who very much enjoys pickles. Specifically, American-style dill pickles that often can only be found at Subway or McDonalds, as they are very sour and very much full of dill. I am known to like pickles so much, that four separate people told me about the KFC pickle menu, and I honestly thought it was some sort of April Fool’s joke, until it came out! Dann and I went right to our local KFC to try it all. Pickle Mania is what they are calling their new pickle range, which can all be ordered in one box meal. Dann and I each got a box, which was fun to try!

Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under The Sea Board Game – Fun Concept
[Ad – Gifted Products] We have a tradition of playing with board games every other Monday, at our local Geek Retreat, where we find ourselves spending some wind-down after the first school and work day of the week. We’ve been exploring a bunch of the Dogman board games, so went on to play Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea as Robin is such a big Dogman fan! We often feel that getting the board games that contain these book characters really encourages reading in our household.
