Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).

The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.

Co-op (British grocery store chain) posted this product announcement on their Facebook page, playing on the British predilection for enjoying horrible sandwiches.

Even as a non-Brit, I thought it was reasonably clever, not to mention rather well made.

It's more to do with the fact a decent sandwich can't be enjoyed without some chips in it. A fun joke.

[–] MacNCheezus 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Nope. Those zany Brits literally eat sandwiches with nothing but potato chips on them (except butter).

Not only that, but there are literally dozens of websites with recipes and instructions on how to make them (as if that required any sort of further explanation). Unless this is some sort of massive prank they’re playing on literally the entire rest of the world, I’m led to believe they actually do enjoy eating this.

Nothing wrong with a crisp sandwich, don't knock it til you've tried it!

[–] MacNCheezus 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Just the thought of it alone makes me physically uncomfortable.

[–] PatMustard@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago

I'm eating one right now. Imagine the crunch in your mind.

[–] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Mate you have to try it. It's amazing.

If you want to step it up a both add vegemite. Legit off changing.
