April Fool's Day Fun
So I don't know if anyone noticed how easy it is to trick people on the internet, but it's pretty dang easy. You would think being a person who is a fan of social media and other viral websites and such that I would expect there to be fun little tricks played today on some of my favorite websites. Since 2001 ThinkGeek has been fooling their customers into trying to purchase fake products. They actually sit and come up with tempting products that one might not know is actually fake. I was definitely fooled last year by the Personal Soundtrack Shirt . Apparently so were many other people, because, ThinkGeek actually created that product because so many customers tried to buy their fake shirt. So experiencing that last year one would think that I would not fall for that joke again...well beleive it or not it happened.
I opened my Gmail and found a newsletter from ThinkGeek and was filled with excitement because I love looking at the new nerdy geeky products they offer. Forgetting that it was April fool's I click through the new products and come across Squeez Bacon.
Now, I am not a fan of bacon by any means...unless it is covered in chocolate and in a candy bar form. But I do have a few friends that LOVE bacon. So I thought this would be a nice gift...ya know for Easter or Flag Day or something. But I clicked "BUY" and then realized that got me again! I should have known Squeezable Bacon at $7.99 a bottle was too good to be true.
Here are some other awesome products
Oh and South Park has a new April Fool's episode on Comedy Central @ 10pm. No Joke.
