Cauliflower Bunnies by Green Giant and Peeps Would two giant food brands collaborate just to pull off a prank? Apparently, yes! Green Giant and Peeps decided to team up and announce cauliflower-flavored Peeps. Believe it or not, some people were hopeful about cauliflower Peeps being real! Unfortunately, in the fictional world where these actually exist, these Peeps would be flavored cauliflower instead of made with them. That means you’d still be eating the same amount of carbs (6.5 grams) per marshmallow chicken with all the savory flavor of cauliflower. ‘Smoup’ by Heinz There are few American food brands more iconic than Heinz, but thankfully, this April Fools’ product is no runner-up in their most iconic offerings. For 2021’s April Fools’ Day, Heinz announced “Smoup” (smoothie plus soup), a drink that combines their popular tomato soup and Innocent’s strawberry banana smoothie. Given that Campbell’s Tomato Soup Cake recipe was trending during the pandemic, this prank tricked a surprising number of people.
Lip Balm by Pringles You know the odd tingling sensation on your lips from eating sea salt and vinegar chips? Don’t you wish that you could experience that discomfort on a daily basis? If you said yes, then we’re afraid you’ll have to rely on the old-fashioned method. Pringles Tingles by Pringles, a lip balm flavored like Pringles’ Sea Salt and Vinegar chips, was announced in April 2021 but didn’t make it into the real world. Cereal Mac & Cheese by Banza Known for their protein-filled chickpea pasta, Banza could’ve made another name for itself as the first brand to introduce cereal-flavored mac and cheese! Thankfully, they didn’t — and the colorful image of rainbow cereal in a bowl of mac and cheese didn’t entice me to wish otherwise. I’ve mentioned the few that stuck out the most to me, but do you have any favorite brand pranks? I’d love to hear yours!

Who says you need to travel abroad for a glamorous or exciting vacation? We have so many incredible spots within the U.S.! From coast to coast, here are three underrated domestic, family-friendly vacation spots you just might be missing out on. Best for Families: Broken Bow, Oklahoma Travel Distance: 3 hours by car from Dallas, TX, or Tulsa, OK Best Time to Visit: Late spring or fall Thanks to its location by Broken Bow Lake, you’ll be surrounded by forest and wildlife in almost any cabin or Airbnb you book in the area. The Wildlife Museum, BigFoot Speedway (a go-kart racing track), and Beaver’s Bend Mining Company (a kid-friendly geology center to learn about rocks, minerals, and the area’s mining history) are great attractions on top of the awesome hiking and lakeside outdoor activities available. Best for Beach Vacationers: Jekyll Island, Georgia Travel Distance: 1.5 hours by car from Savannah, GA, or 1.25 hours by car from Jacksonville, FL Best Time to Visit: Fall This island used to be a private escape for wealthy families in the 1880s — and it shows. It’s a unique vacation spot on the East Coast for anyone looking for serenity and adventure. With over 10 miles of white sand beaches, and much of it undeveloped, you’ll get a very natural, tranquil experience with excellent seafood and Southern-style dining options.
Best for Quiet Paradise Seekers: Silver Falls State Park, Oregon Travel Distance: 1.25 hours by car from Portland, OR Best Time to Visit: Summer Oregon is already known for its spectacular waterfalls, but if you want to find a quiet oasis of cascading waterfalls and lush scenery, look no further than Silver Falls State Park. Set off on a 9-mile hiking trail loop named Trail of Ten Falls to see all 10 waterfalls. If you choose to stay overnight, the campgrounds include a gorgeous forested setting with spacious sites, nice bathrooms, and options for tent or RV camping. These sites often require a little over an hour’s drive, but that’s why they are perfect for quiet and enjoyable vacations. Consider giving them a try!
