Distiacanthus communis ( Lam . ) Rojas Acosta The pineapple ( Ananas comosus ) is a tropical plant with an edible multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries , also called pineapples , and the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae . Pineapples may be cultivated from a crown cutting of the fruit , possibly flowering in five to ten months and fruiting in the following six months . Pineapples do not ripen significantly after harvest . In 2016 , Costa Rica , Brazil , and the Philippines accounted for nearly one - third of the world 's production of pineapples .

When European explorers encountered this tropical fruit in the Americas , they called them `` pineapples '' ( first referenced in 1664 , for resemblance to pine cones ) . In the scientific binomial Ananas comosus , ananas , the original name of the fruit , comes from the Tupi word nanas , meaning `` excellent fruit '' , as recorded by André Thevet in 1555 , and comosus , `` tufted '' , refers to the stem of the fruit . Other members of the genus Ananas are often called pine , as well , in other languages . In Spanish , pineapples are called piña ( `` pine cone '' ) , or ananá ( ananás ) ( for example , the piña colada drink ) . Botany Pineapple in the starting stage The pineapple is a herbaceous perennial , which grows to 1.0 to 1.5 m ( 3.3 to 4.9 ft ) tall , although sometimes it can be taller . In appearance , the plant has a short , stocky stem with tough , waxy leaves . When creating its fruit , it usually produces up to 200 flowers , although some large - fruited cultivars can exceed this . Once it flowers , the individual fruits of the flowers join together to create what is commonly referred to as a pineapple . After the first fruit is produced , side shoots ( called ' suckers ' by commercial growers ) are produced in the leaf axils of the main stem . These may be removed for propagation , or left to produce additional fruits on the original plant . Commercially , suckers that appear around the base are cultivated . It has 30 or more long , narrow , fleshy , trough - shaped leaves with sharp spines along the margins that are 30 to 100 cm ( 1.0 to 3.3 ft ) long , surrounding a thick stem . In the first year of growth , the axis lengthens and thickens , bearing numerous leaves in close spirals . After 12 to 20 months , the stem grows into a spike - like inflorescence up to 15 cm ( 6 in ) long with over 100 spirally arranged , trimerous flowers , each subtended by a bract . Flower colors vary , depending on variety , from lavender , through light purple to red . The ovaries develop into berries , which coalesce into a large , compact , multiple fruit . The fruit of a pineapple is arranged in two interlocking helices , eight in one direction , 13 in the other , each being a Fibonacci number . The pineapple carries out CAM photosynthesis , fixing carbon dioxide at night and storing it as the acid malate , then releasing it during the day aiding photosynthesis . Pollination In the wild , pineapples are pollinated primarily by hummingbirds . Certain wild pineapples are foraged and pollinated at night by bats . Under cultivation , because seed development diminishes fruit quality , pollination is performed by hand , and seeds are retained only for breeding . Specifically in Hawaii , where pineapples were cultivated and canned industrially throughout the 20th century , importation of hummingbirds was prohibited .

Pineapple juice The flesh and juice of the pineapple are used in cuisines around the world . In many tropical countries , pineapple is prepared and sold on roadsides as a snack . It is sold whole or in halves with a stick inserted . Whole , cored slices with a cherry in the middle are a common garnish on hams in the West . Chunks of pineapple are used in desserts such as fruit salad , as well as in some savory dishes , including pizza toppings , or as a grilled ring on a hamburger . Crushed pineapple is used in yogurt , jam , sweets , and ice cream . The juice of the pineapple is served as a beverage , and it is also the main ingredient in cocktails such as the piña colada and in the drink tepache . Nutrition In a 100 - gram reference amount , raw pineapple is a rich source of manganese ( 44 % Daily Value , DV ) and vitamin C ( 58 % DV ) , but otherwise contains no essential nutrients in significant quantities ( table ) . Bromelain Present in all parts of the pineapple plant , bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes . Bromelain is under preliminary research for a variety of clinical disorders , but to date has not been adequately defined for its effects in the human body . Bromelain may be unsafe for some users , such as in pregnancy , allergies , or anticoagulation therapy . If having sufficient bromelain content , raw pineapple juice may be useful as a meat marinade and tenderizer . Although pineapple enzymes can interfere with the preparation of some foods or manufactured products , such as gelatin - based desserts or gel capsules , their proteolytic activity responsible for such properties may be degraded during cooking and canning . The quantity of bromelain in a typical serving of pineapple fruit is probably not significant , but specific extraction can yield sufficient quantities for domestic and industrial processing . The bromelain content of raw pineapple is responsible for the sore mouth feeling often experienced when eating it , due to the enzymes breaking down the proteins of sensitive tissues in the mouth . Also , raphides , needle - shaped crystals of calcium oxalate that occur in pineapple fruits and leaves , likely cause microabrasions , contributing to mouth discomfort . History The plant is indigenous to South America and is said to originate from the area between southern Brazil and Paraguay ; however , little is known about the origin of the domesticated pineapple ( Pickersgill , 1976 ) . MS Bertoni ( 1919 ) considered the Paraná -- Paraguay River drainages to be the place of origin of A. comosus . The natives of southern Brazil and Paraguay spread the pineapple throughout South America , and it eventually reached the Caribbean , Central America , and Mexico , where it was cultivated by the Mayas and the Aztecs . Columbus encountered the pineapple in 1493 on the leeward island of Guadeloupe . He called it piña de Indes , meaning `` pine of the Indians '' , and brought it back with him to Spain , thus making the pineapple the first bromeliad to be introduced by humans outside of the New World . The Spanish introduced it into the Philippines , Hawaii ( introduced in the early 19th century , first commercial plantation 1886 ) , Zimbabwe , and Guam . The fruit is said to have been first introduced in Hawaii when a Spanish ship brought it there in the 1500s . The Portuguese took the fruit from Brazil and introduced it into India by 1550 . Charles II is presented with the first pineapple grown in England ( 1675 painting by Hendrik Danckerts ) . The pineapple was brought to northern Europe by the Dutch from their colony in Surinam . The first pineapple to be successfully cultivated in Europe , is said to have been grown by Pieter de la Court at Meerburg in 1658 . In England , a huge `` pineapple stove '' needed to grow the plants had been built at the Chelsea Physic Garden in 1723 . In France , King Louis XV was presented with a pineapple that had been grown at Versailles in 1733 . Catherine the Great ate pineapples grown on her own estates before her death in 1796 . Because of the expense of direct import and the enormous cost in equipment and labour required to grow them in a temperate climate , using hothouses called `` pineries '' , pineapples soon became a symbol of wealth . They were initially used mainly for display at dinner parties , rather than being eaten , and were used again and again until they began to rot . By the second half of the 18th century , the production of the fruit on British estates had become the subject of great rivalry between wealthy aristocrats . John Murray , 4th Earl of Dunmore built a hothouse on his estate surmounted by a huge stone cupola 14 metres tall in the shape of the fruit ; it is known as the Dunmore Pineapple . John Kidwell is credited with the introduction of the pineapple industry to Hawaii ; large - scale pineapple cultivation by US companies began in the early 1900s . Among the most famous and influential pineapple industrialists was James Dole , who moved to Hawaii in 1899 and started a pineapple plantation in 1900 . The companies Dole and Del Monte began growing pineapples on the island of Oahu in 1901 and 1917 , respectively . Dole 's pineapple company began with the acquisition of 60 acres ( 24 ha ) of land in 1901 , and grew into a major company , the Dole Food Company . Maui Pineapple Company began pineapple cultivation on the island of Maui in 1909 . In the US , in 1986 , the Pineapple Research Institute was dissolved and its assets divided between Del Monte and Maui Land and Pineapple . Del Monte took cultivar ' 73 -- 114 ' , dubbed ' MD - 2 ' , to its plantations in Costa Rica , found it to be well - suited to growing there , and launched it publicly in 1996 as ' Gold Extra Sweet ' , while Del Monte also began marketing ' 73 -- 50 ' , dubbed ' CO-2 ' , as ' Del Monte Gold ' . Dole ceased its cannery operations in Honolulu in 1991 , and in 2008 , Del Monte terminated its pineapple - growing operations in Hawaii . In 2009 , the Maui Pineapple Company reduced its operations to supply pineapples only locally on Maui , and by 2013 , only the Dole Plantation on Oahu grew pineapples in a volume of about 0.1 percent of the world 's production . Production Pineapple production -- 2016 Country ( millions of tonnes ) Costa Rica 2.9 Brazil 2.7 Philippines 2.6 Thailand 1.9 India 1.9 Indonesia 1.3 World 25.8 Source : FAOSTAT of the United Nations In 2016 , world production of pineapples was 25.8 million tonnes , led by Costa Rica , Brazil , and the Philippines , which collectively accounted for 32 % of the global total ( table ) . Cultivation In commercial farming , flowering can be induced artificially , and the early harvesting of the main fruit can encourage the development of a second crop of smaller fruits . Once removed during cleaning , the top of the pineapple can be planted in soil and a new plant will grow . Slips and suckers are planted commercially . Red pineapple ( Ananas bracteatus ) Pineapples can be consumed fresh , cooked , juiced , or preserved . They are found in a wide array of cuisines . In addition to consumption , the pineapple leaves are used to produce the textile fiber piña in the Philippines , commonly used as the material for the men 's barong Tagalog and women 's baro 't saya formal wear in the country . The fiber is also used as a component for wallpaper and other furnishings . Ethical and environmental concerns Three - quarters of the pineapples sold in Europe are grown in Costa Rica , where pineapple production is highly industrialised . Growers typically use 20 kg ( 44 lb ) of pesticides per hectare in each growing cycle , a process that may affect soil quality and biodiversity . The pesticides -- organophosphates , organochlorines , and hormone disruptors -- have the potential to affect workers ' health and can contaminate local drinking water supplies . Many of these chemicals have potential to be carcinogens , and may be related to birth defects . Because of commercial pressures , many pineapple workers -- 60 % of whom are Nicaraguan -- in Costa Rica are paid low wages . European supermarkets ' price - reduction policies have lowered growers ' incomes . One major pineapple producer contests these claims . Cultivars Many cultivars are known . The leaves of the commonly grown `` smooth cayenne '' are smooth , and it is the most commonly grown worldwide . Many cultivars have become distributed from its origins in Paraguay and the southern part of Brazil , and later improved stocks were introduced into the Americas , the Azores , Africa , India , Malaysia and Australia . Varieties include : `` Hilo '' is a compact , 1.0 - to 1.5 - kg ( 2 -- to 3 - lb ) Hawaiian variant of smooth cayenne ; the fruit is more cylindrical and produces many suckers , but no slips . `` Kona sugarloaf '' , at 2.5 to 3.0 kg ( 5 -- 6 lb ) , has white flesh with no woodiness in the center , is cylindrical in shape , and has a high sugar content but no acid ; it has an unusually sweet fruit . `` Natal queen '' , at 1.0 to 1.5 kg ( 2 to 3 lb ) , has golden yellow flesh , crisp texture , and delicate mild flavor ; well - adapted to fresh consumption , it keeps well after ripening . It has spiny leaves , and is grown in Australia , Malaysia , and South Africa . `` Pernambuco '' ( `` eleuthera '' ) weighs 1 -- 2 kg ( 2 -- 4 lb ) , and has pale yellow to white flesh . It is sweet , melting in texture , and excellent for eating fresh ; it is poorly adapted for shipping , has spiny leaves , and is grown in Latin America . `` Red Spanish '' , at 1 -- 2 kg ( 2 -- 4 lb ) , has pale yellow flesh with a pleasant aroma , is squarish in shape , and well - adapted for shipping as fresh fruit to distant markets ; it has spiny leaves and is grown in Latin America . `` Smooth cayenne '' , a 2.5 - to 3.0 - kg ( 5 - to 6 - lb ) , pale yellow -- to yellow - fleshed , cylindrical fruit with high sugar and acid content , is well - adapted to canning and processing ; its leaves are without spines . It is an ancient cultivar developed by Amerind peoples . In some parts of Asia , this cultivar is known as Sarawak , after an area of Malaysia in which it is grown . It is one of the ancestors of cultivars `` 73 - 50 '' ( also called `` MD - 1 '' and `` CO-2 '' ) and `` 73 -- 114 '' ( also called `` MD - 2 '' ) . Smooth cayenne was previously the variety produced in Hawaii , and the most easily obtainable in U.S. grocery stores , but was replaced over the course of the mid-1990s and 2000s by MD - 2 . Some Ananas species are grown as ornamentals for color , novel fruit size , and other aesthetic qualities . Abacaxi Tropical Gold Victoria Pineapple plant in Bangladesh Phytochemistry Pineapple fruits and peels contain diverse phytochemicals , among which are polyphenols , including gallic acid , syringic acid , vanillin , ferulic acid , sinapic acid , coumaric acid , chlorogenic acid , epicatechin , and arbutin . Pests and diseases Main article : List of pineapple diseases Pineapples are subject to a variety of diseases , the most serious of which is wilt disease vectored by mealybugs typically found on the surface of pineapples , but possibly in the closed blossom cups . Other diseases include pink disease , bacterial heart rot , anthracnose , fungal heart rot , root rot , black rot , butt rot , fruitlet core rot , and yellow spot virus . Pink disease is characterized by the fruit developing a brownish to black discoloration when heated during the canning process . The causal agents of pink disease are the bacteria Acetobacter aceti , Gluconobacter oxydans , and Pantoea citrea . Some pests that commonly affect pineapple plants are scales , thrips , mites , mealybugs , ants , and symphylids . Heart - rot is the most serious disease affecting pineapple plants . The disease is caused by Phytophthora Cinnamoni and P. parasitica , fungi that often affect pineapples grown in wet conditions . Since it is difficult to treat , it is advisable to guard against infection by planting resistant cultivars where these are available ; all suckers that are required for propagation should be dipped in a fungicide , since the fungus enters through the wounds . Storage and transport Some buyers prefer green fruit , others ripened or off - green . A plant growth regulator , Ethephon , is typically sprayed onto the fruit one week before harvest , developing ethylene , which turns the fruit golden yellow . After cleaning and slicing , a pineapple is typically canned in sugar syrup with added preservative . A pineapple never becomes any riper than it was when harvested . A fully ripe pineapple can bruise and rot quickly . The fruit itself is quite perishable and if it is stored at room temperature , it should be used within two days ; however , if it is refrigerated , the time span extends to 5 -- 7 days . Symbolism and cultural History Mimi Sheller writes : `` The pineapple entered European iconography as a symbol of welcome and hospitality , and also eventually found its way into botanical gardens such as the Chelsea Physic Garden , where it was grown in heated pits . '' The sweet fruit had a `` mysterious aura '' in the Age of Sail because except for a `` small elite with access to glass hothouses '' , tropical fruits could only be tasted where they were cultivated . Christopher Cumo writes that `` The Spanish who followed Columbus delighted in eating pineapple and in writing about it for a European public eager to learn of the flora and fauna of the Americas ... The pineapple was first a luxury because transit from the tropics to Europe was expensive in the age of sail . In this respect , pineapple was much like sugar , a commodity of privilege before it became an item of the masses . '' Cumo writes that `` pineapple was the fruit of colonialism '' because the Portuguese , French , Dutch , and British all sought to establish pineapple plantations in the tropics of South America , Central America , and the Caribbean . In architecture , pineapple figures are a decorative element symbolizing hospitality . Usually in plaster or carved wood , pineapples images occur in finials , pendants , `` broken '' pediments , and door knockers .

Question: where do pineapples come from in the world


April Fools ' Day - wikipedia April Fools ' Day Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see April Fool ( disambiguation ) and April Fool 's Day ( disambiguation ) .

( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) April Fools ' Day An April Fools ' Day prank marking the construction of the Copenhagen Metro in 2001 Also called All Fools ' Day Type Cultural , Western Significance Practical jokes , pranks Observances Comedy Date April 1 Next time 1 April 2019 ( 2019 - 04 - 01 ) Frequency Annual April Fools ' Day ( sometimes called All Fools ' Day ) is an annual celebration in some European and Western countries commemorated on April 1 by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes . The jokes and their victims are called April fools . People playing April Fool jokes often expose their prank by shouting `` April fool '' at the unfortunate victim ( s ) . Some newspapers , magazines and other published media report fake stories , which are usually explained the next day or below the news section in smaller letters . Although popular since the 19th century , the day is not a public holiday in any country . Aside from April Fools ' Day , the custom of setting aside a day for the playing of harmless pranks upon one 's neighbour has historically been relatively common in the world .

No such event ever took place . A disputed association between April 1 and foolishness is in Geoffrey Chaucer 's The Canterbury Tales ( 1392 ) . In the `` Nun 's Priest 's Tale '' , a vain cock Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox on Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two . Readers apparently understood this line to mean `` 32 March '' , i.e. April 1 . However , it is not clear that Chaucer was referencing April 1 . Modern scholars believe that there is a copying error in the extant manuscripts and that Chaucer actually wrote , Syn March was gon . If so , the passage would have originally meant 32 days after March , i.e. 2 May , the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia , which took place in 1381 . In 1508 , French poet Eloy d'Amerval referred to a poisson d'avril ( April fool , literally `` Fish of April '' ) , possibly the first reference to the celebration in France . In the Middle Ages , New Year 's Day was celebrated on March 25 in most European towns . In some areas of France , New Year 's was a week - long holiday ending on April 1 . Some writers suggest that April Fools ' originated because those who celebrated on January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates . The use of January 1 as New Year 's Day was common in France by the mid-16th century , and this date was adopted officially in 1564 by the Edict of Roussillon . In 1539 , Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on April 1 . In the Netherlands , the origin of April Fools ' Day is often attributed to the Dutch victory at Brielle in 1572 , where the Spanish Duke Álvarez de Toledo was defeated . `` Op 1 april verloor Alva zijn bril '' is a Dutch proverb , which can be translated to : `` On the first of April , Alva lost his glasses . '' In this case , the glasses ( `` bril '' in Dutch ) serve as a metaphor for Brielle . This theory , however , provides no explanation for the international celebration of April Fools ' Day . In 1686 , John Aubrey referred to the celebration as `` Fooles holy day '' , the first British reference . On April 1 , 1698 , several people were tricked into going to the Tower of London to `` see the Lions washed '' . Although no Biblical scholar or historian are known to have mentioned a relationship , some have expressed the belief that the origins of April Fool 's Day may go back to the Genesis flood narrative . In a 1908 edition of the Harper 's Weekly cartoonist Bertha R. McDonald wrote : Authorities gravely back with it to the time of Noah and the ark . The London Public Advertiser of March 13 , 1769 , printed : `` The mistake of Noah sending the dove out of the ark before the water had abated , on the first day of April , and to perpetuate the memory of this deliverance it was thought proper , whoever forgot so remarkable a circumstance , to punish them by sending them upon some sleeveless errand similar to that ineffectual message upon which the bird was sent by the patriarch '' . Longstanding Customs ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) United kingdom ( edit ) In the UK , an April Fool joke is revealed by shouting `` April fool ! '' at the recipient , who becomes the `` April fool '' . A study in the 1950s , by folklorists Iona and Peter Opie , found that in the UK , and in countries whose traditions derived from the UK , the joking ceased at midday . A person playing a joke after midday is the `` April fool '' themselves . In Scotland , April Fools ' Day was traditionally called ' Huntigowk Day ' , although this name has fallen into disuse . The name is a corruption of ' Hunt the Gowk ' , `` gowk '' being Scots for a cuckoo or a foolish person ; alternative terms in Gaelic would be Là na Gocaireachd , ' gowking day ' , or Là Ruith na Cuthaige , ' the day of running the cuckoo ' . The traditional prank is to ask someone to deliver a sealed message that supposedly requests help of some sort . In fact , the message reads `` Dinna laugh , dinna smile . Hunt the gowk another mile . '' The recipient , upon reading it , will explain he can only help if he first contacts another person , and sends the victim to this next person with an identical message , with the same result . In England a `` fool '' is known by different names around the country , including a `` noodle '' , `` gob '' , `` gobby '' or `` noddy '' . Ireland ( edit ) In Ireland , it was traditional to entrust the victim with an `` important letter '' to be given to a named person . That person would then ask the victim to take it to someone else , and so on . The letter when finally opened contained the words `` send the fool further '' . Prima aprilis in Poland ( edit ) In Poland , prima aprilis ( `` 1 April '' in Latin ) as a day of jokes is a centuries - long tradition . It is a day in which many jokes are told ; various hoaxes -- sometimes very sophisticated -- are prepared by people , media ( which often cooperate to make the `` information '' more credible ) and even public institutions . Serious activities are usually avoided , and generally every word said on April 1st can be a lie , or a joke . The conviction for this is so strong that the Polish anti-Turkish alliance with Leopold I signed on April 1 , 1683 , was backdated to March 31 . However , for some in Poland prima aprilis ends at noon of April 1st , and prima aprilis jokes after that hour are considered inappropriate and not classy . Nordic countries ( edit ) Danes , Finns , Icelanders , Norwegians and Swedes celebrate April Fools ' Day ( aprilsnar in Danish ; aprillipäivä in Finnish ) . Most news media outlets will publish exactly one false story on April 1 ; for newspapers this will typically be a first - page article but not the top headline . April fish ( edit ) In Italy , France , Belgium , The Netherlands , and French - speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada , April 1 tradition is often known as `` April fish '' ( poissons d'avril in French , aprilvis in Dutch or pesce d'aprile in Italian ) . This includes attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim 's back without being noticed . Such fish feature prominently on many late 19th - to early 20th - century French April Fools ' Day postcards . Many newspapers also spread a false story on April Fools ' Day , and a subtle reference to a fish is sometimes given as a clue . India ( edit ) In India , there have been numerous references to April Fools ' Day in both cinema and popular literature and people are jovially associated with the day . However , this is not any intrinsic part of India 's ancient culture . Lebanon ( edit ) In Lebanon , an April Fool joke is revealed by shouting `` كذبة ابريل ! '' ( which means `` Aprils fool ! '' ) at the recipient , who becomes the `` April fool '' . Spanish - speaking countries ( edit ) In many Spanish - speaking countries ( and the Philippines ) , `` Dia de los Santos Inocentes '' ( Holy Innocents Day ) is celebrated , which is very similar to April Fools . Often , people play pranks on each other , trick others , etc . Pranks ( edit ) An April Fools ' Day prank in Boston 's Public Garden warning people not to photograph sculptures . Main article : List of April Fools ' Day jokes As well as people playing pranks on one another on April Fools ' Day , elaborate practical jokes have appeared on radio and TV stations , newspapers , websites , and have been performed by large corporations . In one famous prank from 1957 , the BBC broadcast a film in their Panorama current affairs series purporting to show Swiss farmers picking freshly - grown spaghetti , in what they called the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest . The BBC were later flooded with requests to purchase a spaghetti plant , forcing them to declare the film a hoax on the news the next day . With the advent of the Internet and readily available global news services , April Fools ' pranks can catch and embarrass a wider audience than ever before . Comparable prank days ( edit ) December 28 , the equivalent day in Spain and Hispanic America , is also the Christian day of celebration of the `` Day of the Holy Innocents '' . The Christian celebration is a holiday in its own right , a religious one , but the tradition of pranks is not , though the latter is observed yearly . After somebody plays a joke or a prank on somebody else , the joker usually cries out , in some regions of Hispanic America : Inocente palomita que te dejaste engañar ( `` You innocent little dove that let yourself be fooled '' ) , not to be confused with the second translation of palomita , which is popcorn . In Mexico , the phrase is ¡ Inocente para siempre ! which means `` Innocent forever ! '' . In Argentina , the prankster says ¡ Que la inocencia te valga ! , which roughly translates as a piece of advice on not to be as gullible as the victim of the prank . In Spain , it is common to say just ¡ Inocente ! ( which in Spanish can mean `` Innocent ! '' , but also `` Gullible ! '' ) . In Colombia , the term used is `` Pasala por inocente '' , which roughly means : `` I am innocent , it was just a joke '' In Belgium , this day is also known as the `` Day of the innocent children '' or `` Day of the stupid children '' . It used to be a day where parents , grandparents , and teachers would fool the children in some way . But the celebration of this day has died out in favor of April Fools ' Day . Nevertheless , on the Spanish island of Menorca , Dia d'enganyar ( `` Fooling day '' ) is celebrated on April 1 because Menorca was a British possession during part of the 18th century . In Brazil , the `` Dia da mentira '' ( `` Day of the lie '' ) is also celebrated on April 1 . In Iran , on 13th of the first month ( Farvardin ) of the Iranian calendar ( known as Nature 's day or Sizdah Be-dar , 1st or 2nd of April ) , it is common that people spread false news and then shout `` Doroughe sizdah '' ( lie of 13 ) to the victim . Some of the newspapers and journals also do the same and then somewhere in the bottom of page write `` Doroughe sizdah '' with inverse letters . Reception ( edit ) The practice of April Fool pranks and hoaxes is controversial . The mixed opinions of critics are epitomised in the reception to the 1957 BBC `` Spaghetti - tree hoax '' , in reference to which , newspapers were split over whether it was `` a great joke or a terrible hoax on the public '' . The positive view is that April Fools ' can be good for one 's health because it encourages `` jokes , hoaxes ... pranks , ( and ) belly laughs '' , and brings all the benefits of laughter including stress relief and reducing strain on the heart . There are many `` best of '' April Fools ' Day lists that are compiled in order to showcase the best examples of how the day is celebrated . Various April Fools ' campaigns have been praised for their innovation , creativity , writing , and general effort . The negative view describes April Fools ' hoaxes as `` creepy and manipulative '' , `` rude '' and `` a little bit nasty '' , as well as based on schadenfreude and deceit . When genuine news or a genuine important order or warning is issued on April Fools ' Day , there is risk that it will be misinterpreted as a joke and ignored -- for example , when Google , known to play elaborate April Fools ' Day hoaxes , announced the launch of Gmail with 1 - gigabyte inboxes in 2004 , an era when competing webmail services offered 4 - megabytes or less , many dismissed it as a joke outright . On the other hand , sometimes stories intended as jokes are taken seriously . Either way , there can be adverse effects , such as confusion , misinformation , waste of resources ( especially when the hoax concerns people in danger ) and even legal or commercial consequences . People obeying hoax messages to telephone `` Mr. C. Lion '' and `` Mr. L.E. Fant '' and suchlike at a telephone number that turns out to be a zoo , sometimes cause a serious overload to zoos ' telephone switchboards . Other examples of genuine news on April 1 mistaken as a hoax include : 1 April 1946 : Warnings about the Aleutian Island earthquake 's tsunami that killed 165 people on Hawaii and Alaska 1 April 2005 : News that the comedian Mitch Hedberg had died on 29 March 2005 1 April 2005 : Announcement about Powerpuff Girls Z , by Aniplex , Cartoon Network and Toei Animation In popular culture ( edit ) Books , films , telemovies and television episodes have used April Fool 's Day as their title or inspiration . Examples include Bryce Courtenay 's novel April Fool 's Day ( 1993 ) , whose title refers to the day Courtenay 's son died . The 1990s sitcom Roseanne featured an episode titled `` April Fools ' Day '' . This turned out to be intentionally misleading , as the episode was about Tax Day in the United States on April 15 -- the last day to submit the previous year 's tax information .
