The season for tricks and practical jokes is just around the corner. If you're thinking of ways to bamboozle your friends, here is a potential idea.
Specialising in gourmet cookies, homegrown brand Nasty Cookie has recently released their limited edition Cookie Nuggets which look uncannily similar to its popular fast food twin.
The 'nuggets' are actually Nasty Cookie's signature chocolate chip cookies that have been moulded into super realistic-looking chicken nuggets with a 'breaded' exterior to complete the look.
Each set is going for $5 and comes with six pieces of cookies as well as a creamy Speculoos dip that acts as the 'curry sauce', similar to that of McDonald's.
We can imagine passing these to a friend and watch their faces change when they bite into the cookies. It definitely makes for a sweet, pleasant surprise this April Fools'!
According to their Instagram post, the 'nuggets' will be available in limited quantities at their Orchard Gateway and Funan outlets, so grab them hot out of the oven.
Address: 107 North Bridge Road, Funan, #02-35, Singapore 179105
277 Orchard Road, #B2-10 Orchard, Gateway 238858
There's a video too.
What kind of gag replaces something kind of OK good with something great.
The nuggets need to be made of Limburger cheese or raw onions.
Oh wait, I once gave someone a caramel onion.
You are supposed to soak them In Turbo-Lax first
No, didn’t want to end up in jail. This one was a gag on a kid I knew.
Was just kidding. Remember the movie dumb and dumber? He used turbo lax on his buddy. 😆
An entire industry that lives for 1 day a year. LOL.
Never saw it.
My brother had some kid that kept stealing his lunch. He made some Ex-Lax brownies. I can’t remember the outcome
Back when I was in the corporate world, here are some April Fool tricks I thought of, but never had the guts to actually do.
Pretend that I had received the following email from “Properties” and was told to forward it to my department: “In order to encourage employees not to spend too much time in the bathroom, properties has fitted the toilet seats with a timing device. After 5 minutes you will feel a mild shock followed a minute later by another stronger shock and so forth. We feel this is necessary due to a general drop in productivity and the perception among some that a trip to the bathroom can be treated as a mini-vacation. Thank you for your cooperation!”
Another one: “After a number of complaints and one serious injury we are once again instituting our blind-corner call system for all cubicle domiciled employees. Cubicle walls are 5 feet, 5 inches high (1.65 meters). Any employee whose eye level is below this height who approaches a blind cubicle corner must shout in a loud voice the word, “CORNER!” This will avoid any would-be collisions and subsequent work-related injuries. Using common sense in applying this directive will go a long way toward maintaining a cordial and safe workplace.”
And one more:
“My friend, Loof Lirpa from the first floor of our building asked me to pass this along to my work group.
He brought his pets to work yesterday as part of a cultural diversity demonstration. The pets are three Senegalese Biting Lizards from Loof’s native country of Senegal. Loof was up on our floor borrowing some bags of coffee and unfortunately the lizards got out of their cage. Loof searched for a long time, but was unable to find them. Animal Control will arrive this afternoon and the search will resume after work today.
Everyone is cautioned to be on the alert as these lizards will sometimes bite with little or no provocation. Don’t worry; the bite is painful, but not poisonous. Each lizard is about 22 inches long and about the same pattern coloration as our carpet.”
Feel free to use these in your work group.... as I never did. By the way Loof Lirpa is April Fool spelled backwards.
😆
lol that’s one way to get back at the bully-
yeah the dumb and dumber movie jeff daniels ( rabid liberal unfortunately) did a pretty funny bathroom bit because of the laxative- Watched it before i knew what he and his costar were really like- Some of it was pretty laugh out loud funny- but most was just boring overacting-
My brother always was a bit devious. He’s now a high school teacher. Some of the stories he tells of outsmarting the kids who try to cheat are pretty funny
I remember absent mindedly eating some chicken nuggets. Since my mind was not on what I was doing, I remember thinking I was eating fish sticks. Then I snapped out of it and thought “wait, these aren’t fish sticks”. Then I thought “but what are they?”, cuz they had little if any flavor.
One done in an office where I worked, years ago, when the receptionist would write down all phone messages: One of the salesmen got a message from Mr. Baer, and the phone # left was the local zoo. He actually didn’t figure it out until the 3rd time he called.
The chicken tendies aren’t chicken tendies?!?!?!
RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
outcome.
ICWYDT...
I wondered if anyone got that.
Something like this?
Now that everybody gets offended over the slightest thing, April Fool's Day is all but banned.
TV stations used to get in on it too. During the 1980s, a local Boston TV station spent the morning reporting that Blue Hill (near Milton just outside Boston) was erupting. Traffic reports from an actual helicopter was reporting lava flows approaching Route 128. People that lived in the area were fleeing their homes!
Another time, a TV weatherman predicted a blizzard and people started hitting the supermarkets for bread and milk. Ironically, the Boston area did get hit by an actual blizzard on April 1 years later (1997).
In my workplace one year, a memo circulated that the company was relocating to Caribou, Maine as a cost-saving measure. HR got flooded with calls from concerned employees.
Nothing like that could ever happen today because people have lost their sense of humor.
