April Fools Day 2021: Round Up of food and drink pranks
Hereâs a round-up of some of 2021âs best food and drink related April Fools campaigns. From the ridiculous new product inventions to general all-round silliness that we loved this year.
1. Mutti pineapple pizza sauce in a can
Italian tomato specialists Mutti reignited the great pineapple on pizza debate with the launch of its pineapple pizza sauce in a can.
2. Rejuvenation Water G&T from a coffee machine
The health drinks company created a stir with its G&T straight from a Nespresso coffee machine stunt. We so wish this one was true.
3. Heinz Weetabix and Beanz love story continues
Still fanning the flames of this love story, Asda announced Weetabix and Heinz Beanz in can.

4. Pringles Salt and Vinegar lip balm for that tingling feeling
Fancy the âPringles Tingleâ on your lips without the calories? Well, the Pringles lip balm range got us smacking our lips.

6. Robinsons purple patch
Robinsons found their purple patch with a story that turned the iconic grass at Wimbledon purple ahead of the summer tournament. All to mark the launch of its Blackcurrant squash.
We wish it was true but unfortunately we can’t turn Wimbledon purple. We can give away 10 of our NEW Robinsons Blackcurrant though. To be in with a chance of #winning, tag someone you’d love to share a glass of Robinsons with!

9. McDonaldâs small portion for chip thieves
McDonaldâs launched a three friesâ portion to put an end to chip thievery. It then decided to offer 50% off fries after the prank.
Fry thievery will no longer be tolerated. Introducing a new Three Fries portion for your mates that âjust want a fewâ.
