There’s nothing unprecedented about a company temporarily changing branding and tweeting about it during April Fools day.

There’s nothing unprecedented about a company temporarily changing branding and tweeting about it during April Fools day.
- ziml77 6y ago2 days before April Fools day is not April Fools day.
- bhupy 6y agoSure, but if a global company pulls a stunt like that (pun and all) 2 days before April Fools day, it’s probably related to April Fools day. Given all of the signals, and the proximity to April 1st, a little bit of sobriety and common sense would have gone a long way. As it is, the news outlets added zero (0) new information on top of what was in the press releases.
- toomanybeersies 6y agoLike how Halloween is now the entirety of October, should we expect the duration of "April Fools" to inflate, leading to an entire Mischievous March? Regardless of proximity to April Fools; VAG is a publicly traded company. I think that a lot of people would prefer they didn't misuse their official press releases for banal pranks.
- bhupy 6y agoWho said anything about a holiday being an entire month? We’re talking about 2 days; and really 1 day for the time zone that’s furthest along. If someone tweeted about pumpkins and skeletons on October 29th/30th, it’s probably related to Halloween.

- bhupy 6y ago> On March 30 You mean publishing what sounds like a joke 2 days before April 1st? Occam’s razor would suggest that it’s just a premature April Fools joke.
