Fooling the customers on the first of April has become a custom these days. Here are the most hilarious claims brands made in 2019:

1. OnePlus kick-started the celebrations by announcing their Warp Car. The Chinese smartphone maker can apparently make cars too. Some day!

2. Ever heard of a shirt that changes colour? Well, Snapdeal's idea of the April's Fool was to sell Smart Shirt, colour of which can be changed through an App in less than 30 seconds.

3. Imagine a high-tech fan being fitted inside your brain to keep you calm? Creepy right! Not for Atomberg Technologies, which is launching AI enabled Atomic Fans. Yeah right!

4. Out of all the brands, Ola's Restroom ad takes the cake. While the ride-hailing unicorn received flak for their joke, toilet on wheels don't sound too bad, is it?

Here's the "news that entrepreneurs can use". Know what's trending in the Indian business world in 60 seconds.
