April Fools' Day is back in full swing, with creative pranks making headlines worldwide.
In Copenhagen, a Tesla-free city proposal sparked debate, while Carlsberg announced an "alcohol-negative" beer that supposedly breaks down alcohol in the body.
Swedish media joined the fun, with fake news about a museum relocation and a musician switching bands.
After years of decline, media outlets are reviving April Fools' traditions.
Bengt Johansson, a media researcher, notes that pranks may not have the serious consequences once feared.
This resurgence suggests a renewed appetite for lighthearted humor in the news.
