Next in line was a brand that is popular for its punchy ad campaigns. Condom manufacturer Manforce introduced its “cool menthol” flavoured condoms and captioned the product, “Feeling cold just by thinking about it!” The product accompanying the tagline “come get the chills,” however, gave away its fake existence in the hashtags.

Emirates was not too far behind either. Using Twitter as a tool to carve out their April Fool’s prank, the UAE airlines made an announcement about their new food delivery service which would enable its customers to try the food from across the globe without actually travelling.
