On April 1, 2022, (hint hint), the website ProToolReviews.com published an article claiming that Home Depot had partnered with Chick-Fil-A to convert all of its stores to drive-thru facilities in an attempt to reduce theft: This is not a genuine news article but a fictitious piece that was published as a joke on April Fools' Day. Readers who encountered this article could have deduced that it was a prank by either noting its ridiculous premise — Would it really be practical for a giant warehouse to convert to drive-thrus? Why would they need a fast-food restaurant's help? — by noting the publication date, or by clicking a link at the end of the article for more information. That link did not direct readers to a more detailed article about Home Depot's drive-thru plans. Rather, it directed to a page containing an April Fools' Day picture. https://www.protoolreviews.com/april-fools/ ProToolsReview also later added a disclaimer to the top of this article to make sure that readers knew this was an April Fools Joke.
