In 2016, Honda decided to show off a bit by introducing Emoji number plates which it claimed younger buyers can use to help express their needs more than just numbers and letters. The Honda Civic Type-R was shown with the new plates. Honda mentioned that it was in talks with UK’s Driving and Licensing agency over plans to get these emoji plates on the road.

It didn’t happen obviously.

Bathstore, a bathroom retailer, was known for its mind boggling April Day pranks but they outdid themselves in 2015 by inventing the world’s first reverse toilet. This Wifi enabled toilet helped users watch/read their tablets and ebooks handsfree - pleasures while taking a dump. If only!

A kinetic device needed to be wound manually, which in turn produced enough kinetic energy to charge your mobile. Damn! Really cool if it actually existed. 

So what have you got up your sleeve?
