6 of the Best April Fools’ Pranks You Can Repeat By Yourself – Some Are Really Genius
Well, to prepare you for this day of trickery, here are 10 of the best April Fools’ pranks in history. After all, as Abraham Lincoln once observed, “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.”
Left-handed toilet paper
Why should right-handers be closer to cleanliness? In 2015, Cottonelle tweeted that it was introducing left-handed toilet paper for all those southpaws out there.
The joke followed a 1998 stunt by Burger King about its new “Left-handed Whopper.”
Few people may have been taken in by Cottonelle, but that wasn’t the case in 1973, when Johnny Carson cracked a joke about a toilet paper shortage. Worried Americans immediately stocked up. Well, you can never be too sure.

If you want to see someone going mad over their phone than just make a frozen home screen (when they tap the apps, nothing will happen).
All you need to do is to take a screenshot of your friend’s home screen, drag all their Home Screen apps to the right onto another screen and set their Home Screen wallpaper to the screenshot you just took.
Google Gulp

In 2005, the company said it was branching out with a new drink: Google Gulp. It would help “to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex.” Also, low in carbs!
Add it to fake Google products including Google Romance, Gmail Paper and Google Voice for Pets. But not Gmail itself, however: That was real.
Bugs are everywhere

Make your roommate believe that your apartment has suddenly become infested with giant bugs.
You can order these online or simply make your own – out of something non-flammable, naturally. Anything from bugs or spiders works for this one.

This prank is definitely not something that can be pulled off last minute, but if you have a few days to pull it off, it’ll be a huge success.
Just remove the keys, add chia seeds and a damp paper towel, and pop the keys back in place. Your coworker won’t know what hit ’em.

The only thing better than a pulling a prank is not pulling a prank, but making everyone think that you did. It could be as easy as giving someone a suspicious look as they’re about to drink their coffee, or you could trick someone into thinking you’ve filled their office with balloons like one genius Reddit user did.
