Hopping on the health and wellness trend, KFC Singapore releases its very own take on chicken essence with its KFC Essence of Chicken this April Fool's, introducing a delicious path to wellness. The popular burger joint in Singapore serves up a new “Fry-Day Burger,” in light of April Fool’s falling on a Friday this year. Farmhouse partnered up with creative agency, The Chariot Agency, to advertise a campaign that was “left field, but able to break through the saturated dairy space.” April Fool's Day marked the best time to drive home Farmhouse’s desire to emphasise the fresh quality of its milk without taking itself too seriously. The brand even went so far as to reinforce the extreme testing measures that were taken, of which include testing in temperature-controlled chambers, drop-testing and material and fabric testing, to create the complete product. Marketed as an invigorating exfoliant that immaculately cleanses and polishes the skin, Irvins employs a vibrant visual that depicts the popular salted egg in all its glory. Dyson made waves with its announcement of a new product: the Dyson Zone, a set of air-purifying headphones with active noise cancellation features. Although an unconventional move from the condom brand, according to Durex, the launch of their streetwear collection is to empower individuals to make bolder condom purchases and become more sex-positive. The advertisement for the April Fool's campaign shows a user tapping on the Atome Scent feature, and a whiff of the scent radiating out of one's phone upon doing so. Burger King Taiwan took its menu to the next level with the inauguration of the loaded strawberry beef burger, an April Fool's special. "This includes avid gamers in Singapore, who are all too familiar with the comfort and ease of picking up slices of their favourite pizzas in between (or even during) games," Chia added.

India News: NEW DELHI: April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is a worldwide prank day, celebrated across many countries.

The research relationship between both countries is focused on STEM, Healthcare and Management. The most important part of the research engagement lies in the advances made in knowledge transfer, high technology applications and the development of a trans-national education ecosystem. The opportunity for collaboration is genuine, and both countries are working together to enhance education and research outcomes with clear benefits for the people, businesses, and society. Australia has one of the most supportive international education systems in the world, and it is clear from how the Australian Strategy for International Education 2021-2030 puts the student experience, student protection and students' rights at the core. Under the trans-national education system, Australian and Indian universities are developing models for Indian students to start their studies in India and then move to an Australian campus after a few years, with an option to graduate with a degree from either institution. While both countries are knowledge-based economies, further commonalities in how education and research are conducted, similar challenges (although the scale is much higher in India) and a focus on solving issues with societal relevance have kept the engagement tighter to future needs. The task force will deliver a mechanism for expanding education qualification recognition between Australia and India by the end of the year, with its implementation planned for 2023.

All in all, this idea makes so much sense if they are available for real, given the sizeable proportion of Thais of Chinese origin in this country. I also noticed a miniature Burger King shop in the artwork, which doesn't surprise me much since I've already seen a paper Starbucks shop. Although April Fools' Day isn't a Thai tradition, to begin with, every year businesses and brands have jumped on this good-natured humour bandwagon with their out-there ideas for products and services.
