April Fool's Day: How Zomato, Oppo and even Australian police fooled people

<p>From Thailand to India, countries have told people not to make&nbsp;April&nbsp;Fools' Day pranks related to coronavirus, with some threatening jail time as they seek to prevent the spread of rumours which could put lives at risk.</p>

<p>Tech giant Google, which is famous for its annual spoofs, has cancelled the tradition because of the pandemic which has killed&nbsp;at least 2,816,908 people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019.</p>

<p>The exact origin of&nbsp;April&nbsp;Fools' Day is not clear. Some speculate that it began from&nbsp;Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, while&nbsp;historians believe it began in&nbsp;France in 1564.</p>

<p>However, few scholars&nbsp;disagree with both and say that it dates back to&nbsp;the 1600s.</p>

<p>In France, the day is called the 'Poisson d'avril', which literally means ''April fish.''&nbsp;The customary prank involves pinning a paper fish on people's back.</p>

<p>In Brazil, the day is called 'Dia da Mentira', meaning ''lie day.''</p>

<p>In Scotland, April fools' day continues into April 2 when&nbsp;it becomes the 'tailie day,' on which&nbsp;people&nbsp;stick a paper tail to their friends' back that reads ''kick me.''</p>

<p>Every year, brands come up with an innovative way to prank people...</p>

<p>German automaker Volkswagen AG's US&nbsp;unit issued a false news release on Tuesday&nbsp;claiming it would rename its US&nbsp;operations as "Voltswagen of America" in a marketing stunt designed to call attention to its electric vehicle efforts, the company said on Tuesday.</p>
