As one of the oldest recorded pranks,
invitations were circulated in London on
April 1st inviting citizens to the Tower of
London to witness the annual ceremony
of washing the lions. Shoals of people
flocked to the Tower only to realize it
was a complete fabrication, yet the hoax
was so successful it was repeated
multiple times throughout the 18th and
19th centuries.
The BBC news program Panorama aired a
three-minute segment showing a family in
Ticino, Switzerland, "harvesting" spaghetti
from trees, claiming a mild winter and the
elimination of the "spaghetti weevil" had
resulted in a record crop. At a time when
pasta was not yet a staple in Britain, many
viewers believed the report, calling in to
ask how to grow their own spaghetti trees.
The BBC diplomatically replied, "place a
sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce
and hope for the best".
Taco Bell ran full-page advertisements
in seven major U.S. newspapers
announcing they had purchased the historic
Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to help reduce
the national debt. The ad stated the monument
would be renamed the "Taco Liberty Bell"
and relocated, causing outrage among citizens
who contacted the National Park Service.
The prank was revealed later that day, and
Taco Bell donated $50,000 for the bell's care.
The BBC World Service announced that
London's iconic Big Ben clock tower would
be given a digital facelift to keep up with
the times, renaming it "Digital Dave." The
broadcaster told listeners that the new
monument would issue a five-minute
news bulletin every night and replace
its traditional bongs with beeps. Many
listeners rang in to express outrage,
with one spokesperson later noting that
few people found the joke funny at the time.
Oliver "Porky" Bickar, a resident of Sitka,
Alaska, spent years planning to make the
town believe the nearby dormant volcano
was erupting. On April 1st, he used a
helicopter to drop 70 old tires into the crater
and set them on fire. The resulting thick,
black smoke caused panic in the town
until the Coast Guard flew over and saw
the flames surrounded by huge letters
painted in the snow reading "APRIL FOOL".
