In the United States，April Fools'Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends．These kinds of jokes are also called pranks．These jokes usually end in the shouting"April Fools!"
Simple pranks，like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls，are still common．But，major companies also get in on April Fools'Day fun in a much bigger way．A few years ago，on April 1^st，Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes-Plenta and Micra．The very large cups，bigger than a human head，remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee．According to Starbucks，the cups could be used as a rain hat，a pot for plants，or a lampshade （灯罩）．
More and more，people use smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools'Day．One smart phone app，Cat Facts，sends funny facts about cats to your friends'phones，every day．
