Arnott’s April Fools’ Day prank backfires by customers demanding Tim Tam Jatz

Arnott’s has received the reactions of hundreds of customers following an April Fool’s prank.

Aussies have begged the biscuit brand to make ‘Tim Tam Jatz’ available in stores across the country, following a fake social media post over the weekend.

The fake product combines two beloved cookies in one: sweet chocolate Tim Tams and savory Jatz crackers.

“Introducing Tim Tam Jatz,” the announcement read.

“The cheese board MVP, Jatz, is now draped in Tim Tam’s decadent choc topped with a velvety crema for a luscious, sweet and salty treat.”

The prank fooled some customers before leaving them disappointed after realizing the product was a fake.

The announcement drew more than 1,600 comments on Facebook from shoppers across the country.

“I thought this was real!” one wrote, another added, “Too bad it’s April 1st (which I fell for of course!) I’d really love these.”

“I know these are April Fools’ jokes, but I’d eat them!” added a third.

Others called the fake ad the “biggest tease” and some shared their eagerness to try such a product.

“Seriously, I’d give this one a try!” one wrote, the other said, ‘I would 100% eat this one. Thanks for teasing Arnott’s.”

Many also encouraged Arnott’s to make such a product and thought it was a brilliant idea.

‘This would work! Salt and chocolate together sounds good to me,’ said another.

McDonald’s also faced a similar backlash over a “joke burger” called the “McFry” – with the bogus addition to its menu, it offered fans a quarter pounder filled with potato chips.

“The ultimate Mac hack is now made to order as we take the classic Quarter Pounder and stack it with Australia’s favorite fries,” the announcement read.

‘No mess. No fuss. No problem. We’ve made it so you don’t have to! Buy the McFry today. Available until yesterday.’

Like Arnott’s fake ad, Aussies were also completely disappointed by the McDonald’s prank.

“This isn’t funny it’s a joke. I would absolutely buy a McFry!’ a woman wrote.

“I was so excited until I read the last part ‘available until yesterday’. Maybe McDonald’s should put out burgers like that,’ another agreed.

“April Fools aside, this actually sounds like a friggen great burger. I could actually buy Maccas for once,” a third commented.

“These better not be April Fools’ jokes, I hate wrapping the fries myself,” said another.

In response to a comment, a McDonald’s spokesperson joked that customers could purchase a “McFry DIY package” simply by purchasing a quarter-pounder meal.

Aussies would then have to load the fries into the burger themselves.
