Were you fooled?

Lots of strange things tend to happen about this time every year. Take a look at some of today’s news:

Google Becomes…Topeka

The Google blog reports that as of today, you won’t be “googling” anything—you’ll “Topeka” it. Sounds good, right?

‘Topeka Google Mayor Bill Bunten expressed it best: “Don’t be fooled. Even Google recognizes that all roads lead to Kansas, not just yellow brick ones.”’

Starbucks Goes “Plenta”

Ever wanted a super-mega-sized mocha latte?  How about a micro-sized green tea?  Starbucks has it all.  The pictures are awesome.

Kodak Announces “Aromaphotography”

Kodak has made a breakthrough: they’re now using “Neuro-Optic-Nasal-Sense Imaging” to enhance your experience every time you look at a photo.  Now you can smell those beautiful pictures of wildflowers, cookies, and your dog getting a bath.

Be sure to read the fine print at the bottom:

‘*Neuro-Optic-Nasal-Sense Imaging is also referred to as NONSense.’

Ben & Jerry’s Creates Virtual Ice Cream

Lick it.  You know you want to.

Google Wave Gives Notifications

We all know how taxing it can be to check your inbox for all those important updates.  Now, Google solves the problem by sending you notifications in person whenever you need them.  Handy, no?

Your turn!  What are your favorite April Fools pranks?
