04 Apr April Fools’ Day: Best in Class
April Fools’ Day is great if you have an affinity for pranks and letting your inner child out. Some brands know how to capture this better than others. Here is a look at the best in class of brands on social media: April Fools’ Day edition.
Mountain Dew
The concept of this video is great, even though it has been done before. Mountain Dew decided to tweak the idea of celebrities surprising fans by ending this video by surprising their celebrity spokesman, NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, with his celebrity idol. Props for taking a cool idea and making it even better.
Check out what happened when we teamed with @Giannis_An34 to give fans the ultimate #AprilFoolsDay prank. #DEWxNBA https://t.co/Nkt8f0HIAf

Snapchat
Snapchat decided to use the holiday to throw some shade at Instagram with their own Instagram filter. Why? Bescause Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram has copied more than one idea from Snapchat over the years. To add more insult, they even included a “like” from my_mom to poke fun at their older fanbase.
Burger King
Burger King introduced a whopper toothpaste so that you can always have the whopper taste in your mouth. The video is pretty accurate in terms of capturing that sterotypical toothpaste commerical feel.
Netflix
Netflix released Netflix Live, which is essentially a show that features Will Arnett describing everyday household items…and it’s honestly not the worst thing on television.
Reynolds Wrap
This one is great because it is actually real. You will be able to purchase Rizzo Wrap in select Chicago areas.

Tough Mudder and Nulo Pet Food
Anything that integrates puppies will usually end up high on any list. Tough Mudder and Nulo Pet Food collaborated for an adorably great video that resonates well with virtually everyone.
Google Maps
This one is just cool. There really isn’t a prank here, just a free Ms. Pacman game.
KFC
KFC Canada announced a voice-activated delivery bucket that you can use to order food.
