April Fool's Day in Japan Brings Us a Truly Wonderful Pizza Product. Shame It's Fake.

April Fool’s Day is definitely a thing in Japan. And here is a round-up of some, certainly not all, of the country’s internet pranks.

And at least one of them should be real.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); April Fool’s Day or not, I so wish Domino’s would make Pizza in a Can.
