April Fools' Day Pranks Resurge

Published: 2025-04-01

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.
