April Fools' Day is celebrated worldwide, and many countries have their own unique pranks and jokes. In France, paper fish are often put on someone's back as a joke because the fish are said to be young and, therefore, easily caught. The prank is called the "April Fish," and those who get the fish placed on their backs are seen as gullible.

Here’s the history of April Fools’ Day and which restaurants are running April Fools' Day price cuts instead of pranks today, Tuesday, April 1.

One of the most famous April Fools’ Day pranks took place in 1957, when the BBC aired a program featuring a Swiss family harvesting a beautiful crop of spaghetti from their tree, according to Newsweek.
