You might have survived April Fools Day at work, but what about online?  Many companies went out of their way to punk you yesterday.  Here are some highlights.

Honda Canada announced a new “polite horn,” where instead of honking, your horn makes a passive aggressive coughing sound.

McDonald’s Australia posted a picture of the McPickle . . . which is basically a Big Mac with a bunch of pickles replacing the meat.  But it may backfire . . . because someone tweeted instructions on how to actually order it.

The U.S. Open tweeted a Photoshopped picture of a cute dog serving as a tennis ball retriever for the next tournament.

Mova Globes announced a new flat globe for flat earthers.

T-Mobile went for irony, and announced a new line of phone booths, to let you talk in privacy even on busy streets.
