Opinion: What's Your Best April Fools Prank?

Patch asks readers to share their favorite April Fools pranks and gags.

When I was 8 years old my best friend, who knew I liked Snickers, happily offered me a snack-sized bar as we walked into .

I immediately grabbed the candy bar and took a bite only to find that it was a foul tasting pencil eraser disguised as nutty goodness. As an aside, a couple loose teeth I had shifted roughly as I bit down.

He laughed and said, "April Fools!"

For the rest of the day, I had a bitter taste in my mouth—from both the eraser and the fact that I had fallen for the trick.

Not the funniest or most creative prank, I know, but one I always remember when I reach for a Snickers. So this begs the question, what's the best prank you ever pulled or fell for?
