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

Budsies, a company known for creating personalized stuffed animals, intended to launch a new doll with AI in a YouTube video and on its website
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.

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.
