Today is April 1st, every corny marketers favorite holiday. And this April Fools’ Day is full of eye-rolling ideas that sometimes make us chuckle, but mostly make us groan. Here’s a roundup of some of the notable products we won’t be seeing on shelves anytime soon.

Chapstick

Dry lips? Missing your daily dose of vegetables? Combine both tasks with the new Broccoli Chapstick flavor. It’s not quite green juice, but maybe it will get the job done.

Bocce’s Bakery

If you ever wanted to bedazzle your cat’s poop, you’re in luck. Bocce’s Bakery Razzle Dazzle recipe — a blend of lamb and glitter —  is sure to bring a little sparkle to your litter box. As an added bonus, it glows in the dark so you’ll know if your kitten did the deed even if you’re bleary-eyed.

Twitter

Okay, joking about developing an edit button is just plain cruel.

Banza 

Forget the chickpea pasta, pizza, mac and cheese, and rice: Let’s skip to the sauce. Banza is releasing “Just the Sauce” packets, which are chock-full of flavor and extra chickpea protein. Instead of having to buy the whole box to get the good stuff, you can squirt the goopy goodness on any product you want. I mean, mac and cheese sauce without the mac? We don’t hate it.

Busch Beer

Busch Beer is releasing a limited edition Pee-In-A-Busch kit to class up your outdoor pop-a-squat or pee-on-a-tree experience. Each set comes with a reusable funnel so you can relieve yourself discreetly in the can you just consumed. All jokes aside, 100 percent of the profits from the set will be donated to One Tree Planted, a global organization focused on reforestation. And while the idea itself may be a bit of potty humor, the company is hoping it shines a light on the need to protect our trees and environment.

Amazon Alexa

Imagine that scent of fresh-baked brownies — on demand. Alexa’s newest skill involves smell technology that emits delicious olfactory sensations, minus the mess and cleanup. Side effects include the disappointment

Magic Spoon

Move over sporks! We never liked you anyway. Introducing the stroon, the spoon-straw combo you never thought you needed. Picture this: you scoop your cereal. All that remains is the sweet milky goodness at the bottom. You drink your milk remnants. You drink it up.

Synology

Synology is bringing back the floppy disk, not that you ever asked for it. With 5.75MB of total storage capacity and transfer speeds of almost 115kbps, it’s the technology downgrade we haven’t been waiting for. What’s next, Laser Disks? Hit Clips? Beta Max?

Ipsy + Glamnetic

Now you and woman’s best friend can get dolled up for a night out on the down or a walk to the park. Introducing the first line of pet-friendly magnetic lashes! Let your little four-legged friend bat their eyelashes at the next pooch that strikes their fancy. Available in a variety of colors from hot pink to darkest black.

Michigan Judge Sentences Walmart Shoplifters to Wash Parking Lot Cars
A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
State Department Halts Plan to buy $400M of Armored Tesla Vehicles
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
Goodyear Blimp at 100: ‘Floating Piece of Americana’ Still Thriving
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
Is U.S. Restaurants’ Breakfast Boom Contributing to High Egg Prices?
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.
