### April 1 It seems like every April Fool's Day, the world of technology is filled with all kinds of nonsense inventions, announcements and general tomfoolery. Here are just a few of the more ridiculous ones we've seen over the years: * The [Lick-e-Phone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUOy6UfnMgY) (2020) – As if Apple hadn't already made remote control devices too sophisticated, they released this one which you could control not with buttons, but by licking it. Truly disgusting. * The [**iCone**](https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/43ad/) (2008) – ThinkGeek presented a „perfectly useless“ device on April Fool's Day – a cone-shaped loudspeaker for your iPod. It didn't actually amplify sound, though, it just changed its shape. * The [Google **Condom**](https://techcrunch.com/2007/04/01/google-launches-official-condom/) (2007) – Google pranked us by announcing it was launching its own line of condoms. It was insanely funny, considering the company's motto is „Don't be evil“. And finally, who can forget one of my personal favorites – the infamous [**Taco Pizza** of 2019](https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/1/18290050/taco-pizza-domino-april-fools-day-prank). It seemed ridiculous at first – but I mean, wouldn't it be kind of tasty? 🤔
