This year's April Fools' Day saw many pranks from various fast-food and snack brands, so I put together a list for your entertainment. Here's BrandEating's 2025 April Fools' Day joke round-up:
- Auntie Anne's - "Open a can of Pringles newest flavor - Butter and Salt 🧈🥨- and let the smell of Auntie Anne's fill the room and feel like you’ve been transported to the mall food court."
- Baskin-Robbins - "not us reinventing self-care sundae 😌 introducing the maracuja mixed berries sundae in collaboration with our friends @tartecosmetics ~ make it last all day with the ✨new✨ melt lock sundae setting spray! 💅"
- Chips Ahoy! - "chips AHOY! Is finally leaning into our name and fully embracing pirate life. 🌴🏴☠️
it’s time for us to set our sails to uncharted waters! 🚣♂️" I'm bothered by the lack of capitalization to start each sentence.
- Church's Chicken - "Y'all ain't ready for Honey-Butter & Chicken Ice Cream. 👀 We combined everything you crave into one sweet treat: creamy vanilla ice cream with a swirl of Honey-Butter Biscuits™ and crunchy fried chicken bits. Every bite hits."

Stop by today to try this savory treat, but before you do, don’t forget to check the date. #AprilFools"

This may or may not be coming to Hardee’s near you😉"
