2022 April Fools' Day Round-up

This year's April Fools' Day day saw a number of fast food chains come up with pranks that they shared on April 1, 2022 via social media. Here's the 2022 April Fools' Day round-up:

- Auntie Anne's - The idea here is that Auntie Anne's hired the Sour Patch Kid as an intern and said intern came up with Sour Patch Kids Pretzels.

- Blaze Pizza took a step on the path towards sustainability: "Introducing "Just Crust" for the crust lovers out there. Each pack contains 6 strips of donated crust. You know, the good stuff!"

- Carl's Jr. teased Western Bacon Cheeseburger-flavored potato chips.

- Charley's joked that they launched new Cheeseshakes.

- Church's Chicken pretended to partner with Edible Arrangements to produce meat-and-fruit arrangements.

- Culver's revealed a curd-themed cabin that you could book on Curdo (like Vrbo but with curds) - "Welcome to The Curd Cabin – the cheesiest new listing in the Northwoods of Wisconsin!"

- Dickey's joked about putting out a pit-smoked tofu sandwich.

- Domino's - It's like a reverse (or literal) pineapple pizza--pineapple topped with mini slices of pizza.

- Firehouse Subs introduced new Sub-Cereals, which includes Cherry Lime-Aid Loops, Hook & Laddo's, and Captain's Corned Beef Crunch. Along with the fake cereals was new Celebration Cookie Coffee Creamer.

- Hardee's whipped up a mock-up of new Hardee's Beer in three flavors: Grape Jelly Biscuit, Strawberry Jam Biscuit, and Honey Butter Biscuit.

- Jamba Juice came up with Slow Burn Smoothie, which consists of "Jamba’s own hot sauce blend, red chili paste, jalapenos (seeds included), cayenne peppers, pepper + wasabi boost."

- Jet's Pizza celebrated April Fools' with the Ranch Pizza, which is covered with an even layer of ranch dressing.

- McAlister's Deli - "Step into the future of hydration with the limited edition NFTea! Want in? Contact our April Fools rep today."

- Pizza Hut stayed on-trend with Hut Seltzer in three varieties: Ranch Water, Marinara Splash, and Buffalo Breeze.

- Qdoba - "See the burrito, be the burrito. Now you can look + smell just like your fave QDOBA creation."

- Sonic solicited names for their new pet hedgehog...

- The Habit came up with Ranch Air Freshener.

- Zaxby's joked that they got rid of all their sauces except for ketchup - "Due to popular demand, we only have ketchup now. Get your wings tossed in ketchup, dip your fries in ketchup, put it all over your chicken sandwich. Ketchup!"

- 7-Eleven - It's the Tiny Gulp. You'd need quite a few of the 0.7-oz drinks to actually get a gulp of soda though...
