7-Eleven, Tinder and Budsies are just three of the various companies that have been posting April Fools' Day jokes this year on their websites and social media.

Companies that have the habit of celebrating April Fool’s Day every year have already started misleading their customers today.

Tinder and Budsies are just two of the companies that have managed to nail down their April Fool’s Day jokes by posting a video on instagram and a video on youtube.

The popular dating app may have used Ghostbusters as inspiration, while the custom plush company was inspired by artificial intelligence (AI).

Tesla is also a company rumored to have posted its own April Fool’s Day joke on X this morning.

Customers and social media users have already fallen in love with April Fools’ Day jokes, but here are some creative jokes that others should pay attention to.

Anyone interested in working for Tinder may have had their hopes dashed after the dating app revealed that a job they advertised was not real.

The word ghost is a common word among Tinder users who no longer wish to communicate with another user on the dating app.

‘Ghosting’ appeared in a new job posting that was available on their website.

The so-called job posting led people to believe that a full-time Remote VP Ghosting position was available at the company.

Unfortunately, Tinder misled job applicants that they were required to have a history of ghosting, as VP Ghost Hunting was never a real job.

Tinder members who were ghosted may have been able to get a brand new AI Buddy.

“Your AI Buddy will learn everything about you,” said video maker Danny Jordan.

Everyone who hopes to have one of those friends will also be disappointed because that product does not exist. Luckily for those consumers, they are not the only ones who were fooled by the products.

7-Eleven is known to celebrate April Fool’s Day almost every year.

The convenience store chain introduced a new product called small drink in 2022, which was a 0.7-ounce drink that cost 7 cents.

One Instagram user thought the little drink was “adorable,” while others assumed it was an April Fool’s Day prank.

7-Eleven upped its game this year and introduced a new drink called Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water.

Some unlucky customers had the opportunity to try the drink and only one of them admitted that he liked it.

“Well this flavor blew up even more than I thought,” one 7-Eleven Instagram user wrote in the video’s caption.

Scotch, Welch’s, Subway and Kevin’s Natural Foods have promoted fake products as drinks, foods and on their Instagram accounts.

Tesla, a popular company that has made up scary April Fools’ jokes, is rumored to have made another joke that doesn’t involve products.

7-Eleven gave the drink to some unlucky people who were not satisfied with the drink. However, one consumer really enjoyed the drink.

Tesla co-founder Elon Musk published a terrifying tweet In 2018 he said the company went bankrupt.

“Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch Easter egg sell-off, we are saddened to report that Tesla has completely and totally gone bankrupt,” he wrote.

Musk posted a new tweet at 3:37 a.m. this morning saying that he will become Disney’s head of DEI.

‘Can’t wait to work with Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy to make their content MORE woke!’ she wrote.

An hour later, he revealed in another X post that he had to “come clean.”

So far, his April Fools’ Day 2024 tweet has been viewed by over 30 million X users.

X’s official account on the social media platform also shared a controversial tweet this morning saying that the website would now make the DMs, drafts, and bookmarks of all its users public.

X users who commented on the post left angry tweets, while others believed the post is an April Fool’s Day joke.

TV personalities may also have to be careful this year because of a joke made on an episode of Saturday Night Live.

Michael Che convinced the audience not to laugh during a joke made by Colin Jost on Weekend Update, which was highly publicized the following week.
