An official day to pull pranks! What more could we ask for? It’s that time around the year again when you have to question a whole lot around as the globe celebrates the fools on the April 1. From your workplace cringe-worthy pranks to silly stunts at home, it’s all legit today.
Rejoicing this day, some brands managed to grab on to the digital media to gag us and as they say, laughter in contagious, we would like to share some with you.
Urban Ladder
A home décor online store just got us all wound up with the world’s best job ever! Without over-exaggerating, one just couldn’t resist the urge to send it the resumes. To sum it up in one world, the job profile required, brace yourselves, SLEEPING!
Yes! You heard that right. The brand called out to the best sleeper out there for a job of Sr. Mattress Tester. Let’s give it to them; the brand fooled us with a pretty ingenious prank.

Ola Cabs
Popular cab brand went a little ahead to fool us with their #OlaRooms. Ola announced their recent innovation to hit the roads, Ola Rooms. Apparently, this ground-breaking new service permitted people to spend a comfortable night in one of their cabs.
They even went ahead to make a video convincing us. Good work Ola, you almost (not) got us there.
