How brands celebrated April Fools’ Day with imaginary products

April Fools' Day is always a good reminder of how much time someone spent to come up with and market products that will almost certainly never exist, all while trying to be funny.

So far, Google fared worst: Its Mic Drop button infuriated users so much that they had to apologize. But buyer beware: If you thought about purchasing any of these new products announced today, the good (or bad) news is that they don't exist.

April Fools' products that don't exist, but maybe should

Duolingo brings us a pillow that will teach you a language overnight for just $99:

Esurance is advertising "election insurance" so that you can leave the country if your preferred candidate loses:

Licking an iPhone screen, as OpenTable says it could give you a taste of your upcoming meal, seems extremely unsanitary. But imagine what this technology could do for recipe searching!

The Mark Zuckerberg for H&M collection (identical gray T-shirts and jeans) is actually pretty well-done:

April Fools' products that make us worry about their creators

Artisanal toilet paper is so horrifyingly plausible, I had to check to make sure there weren't Portland Airbnbs already using it.

Space salt from FreshDirect, because the world doesn't have enough ridiculously expensive salt:

Dog bras. No. Just no.

April Fools' products that already exist (more or less)

This Zumba-Roomba collaboration on a vacuum that also plays music was already invented by Tom Haverford, Aziz Ansari's character on Parks and Rec.

Horrifyingly, preschool student loans, an April Fools' Day joke from CommonBond, actually already exist in New York.

And you actually can search the Google Photos service by emoij:

Hopefully it sticks around after April 1.

The next revolution in photo search technology is here.https://t.co/6yLWq9yK7G

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
