The Oreo prank is a classic. Its just so funny when they bite into the biscuit and have that awful taste of toothpaste and chocolate. I remember a prank I had pulled on a friend of mine. A few anecdotes actually.
The first is a prank I pulled with a very real looking toy spider. It belonged to my friend, so it was al the more entertaining when she reacted. Once while she was going to take a bowl of cucumbers as an addition to her lunch, I cautiously slipped the spider underneath her first roti. The look on her face was priceless as she lifted the roti and screamed as she saw the spider.
The second was one where I set her lunch on fire. Once again she went to get cucumbers, so this time I added a few drops of Tabasco sauce (Sriracha) on top of her rice and dal. She was literally on fire after taking that first bite.
I played yet another prank on my mother. We were boiling beetroots for dinner and she wanted to have a drink. An idea popped into my head as I looked at the burgundy coloured beetroot water. I cautiously poured the liquid into the glass, and put it in the freezer so she wouldn't suspect anything. Once it was the desired temperature, I handed it over to her. She looked so puzzled as she took a sip.
I've been pranked too multiple times, a few are some I did not exactly enjoy. However, April Fools' is the day everyone takes extra precaution because they never know when I will prank them.
All Fools Day is indeed becoming a favourite time for brands to come up with innovative ideas. I received an email on 1st April from Ola saying they were now launching their flying cars. Very interesting to read about the prank on the cyclists. Such innocence in those pranks. I could taste the toothpaste when I read about the oreo prank. 😀
Aaahh Serendipity! Very nice treatise on Serendipity. I learnt today that Serendip was Persian name for Srilanka (dip - dweep)
But the Serendipity in New York is one place I love. Especially their Frozen Hot Chocolate. Their Golden Opulance Sundae is touted to be their speciality extravagance which I don't want to leave to serendipity to taste.
Always a joy to read the editions of Filter Coffee!
April fools day will continue to remain as part of our lives whether a child or an adult!
Pulled a classic prank this time around. My 2 down had booked a long holiday just after Easter and was preparing her handover letter when I called as the unit head and told her that her holiday had to be canceled! She was trying to reason out with me as to how she had booked medical appointments but I didn't relent and told her we had an oncoming audit. I then patched her line manager on the call and we continued this for another 5 minutes. She was almost in tears and that's when I let the cat out of the bag!! He reaction albeit on the phone was priceless one of relief, one of confusion and another of absolute anger!!
She even went on to say that luckily my heart is strong enough and what if it were indeed weak.....
Let's keep the spirit of April fools day alive!! 😝

Pras, reading your FC 40 reminded me of the perfect ‘ ele oota’ I had at my friend’s son’s wedding. The right starter, the right main course with the right spices and the right quantities. Your research on the origins of April Fool’s day comprising of Volkswagen story, Taco Bell and Orio biscuit prepared me for the main course. The Vangi Bath, Avarekai Curry Billi roti combination and Mysore Bonda in soup hit the right spots and pleased my taste buds like crazy. And finally the Obattu with liberal quantities of ghee provided for the grand finale ! FC 40 missed the finishing line by a whisker by not topping it up with your brand of joke ! FOOD for thought for 41.
