Bathe in the aroma of pork, garlic and tomato

It's that time of year again - April Fools' Day! And here are a few of the best...

The Pizza Express pizza-patterned umbrella hat!

The Teletubbies launched their own cryptocurrency - TubbyCoin “BigHugs!” Tokens!

The grass in Centre Court has been painted purple in celebration of Wimbledon's partnership with Robinsons new blackcurrant squash!

Walkers Crisps announced the launch of Chocolate Wotsits - which come in two versions, White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate!

Frankie & Benny's limited edition ‘Meatball Bath Bomb’ "that lets you bathe in the aroma of pork, garlic and tomato as you submerge it under the water"!

Birds Eye teamed up with Morphy Richards to launch the 'Potato Waffles Only Toaster’!

And finally...

...York Dungeons offered a "Rapid Witch Test"!

All these and more here...

  1. Rapid Witch Test? Mr. DeVice had better cross the York Dungeons off his to-see list.

    1. Drat!

      Although... My knee has been giving me a bit of gyp lately, so I'm not as rapid as I once was. Maybe it won't register?

    2. There's a rack in that dungeon with your name on it, dear... Jx

    3. Oh my God, Mr Devine - tooth issues at the same time as me, and now we have joint knee issues! Though mine is a tear, apparently.

    4. Obviously all that "Riverdancing" is no good for you, then? Jx

  2. These are fun! I'd only dare partake of the Wotsits and waffle toaster. The rest are best left to the imagination. On the last, I wouldn't out anyone as anything without their blessing, especially a witch.

    1. You obviously know what's good for you, Melanie!

    2. I can't imagine how horrid the combination of Wotsits (basically packing material for household appliances) and chocolate might be...

      As for the "outing of the witch", that's what ducking-stools are for! Jx

    3. Ohhh is that what they call those things! You know I'm a bloody American, right? Alas, my American to English translator moved away way on me, in the middle of a fucking pandemic no less! Terrible wench! Why are my eyes getting wet. ugh! What I imagined of a "ducking stool" was way worse. You know male ducks have a corkscrew penis right? Nobody wants to sit on something resembling THAT!

    4. Cats have barbed penises, which is presumably why they make so much noise, and dogs cannot detach from each other for 15 minutes after mating. Ouch! Jx

    5. Oh yes, growing up in a somewhat rural area I'd sometimes have to spray apart the naughty dogs with a garden hose.

  3. Happy April 1st. Can't believe it is already here. Time sure flies when you're living in isolation. Kizzes.

    1. I know - it is bizarre the way a whole year has basically just been written-off. Jx

  4. I just had some street guy yell "Happy April Fools" at me in passing which was my first indication what today was and also sort of confused me. Now April Fools is a holiday? I suppose it was only a matter of time.

    1. That's just weird. If it's any consolation, the "crazies" were out in force this afternoon here in North London as I ventured to the supermarket. Jx

  5. Wotsits = packing material!!! You're not wrong!!

    1. If they weren't slathered with fake cheese flavouring, that's exactly what they'd be! Jx
