At ye olde Charleston City Paper, we see a lot of funny news, but rarely is it meant to be funny. (Often, we’re the only ones who find it funny.) But on April Fools’ Day, we are on the look out for any funny business or potential incidents of leg pulling. Here are some of our favorite news items, product launches, and straight up pranks that almost got us. (Get a gold star for guessing which ones got our arts editor, Connelly Hardaway.)
Did we miss a prank? Send it to us at lauren@charlestoncitypaper.com.

Park Cafe
Downtown, Park Cafe said it planned to get rid of its avocado toast. (Serious LOL on this one.)
Freefly
Outdoor clothing brand Freefly is making a bamboo onesie, for when you want to go fishing but can’t bring yourself to get out of your pajamas.
Commonhouse Aleworks
In Park Circle, Commonhouse Aleworks is expanding their services to include real estate, for the beer drinker who really wants it all.
On Camera
Even interviewer Quintin Washington got in on the mix, announcing a move to Chicago that some of his followers believed for a while.
Charleston Pranks and Recreation
Charleston County Parks and Recreation posted that a world record flounder was caught at the Mount Pleasant pier. Quite the fish story!
