Breweries, food writers, and button companies celebrate April Fools with some hilarious fakes. Here's a few of the funniest things they invented that are not really happening.

Michigan’s Greenbush Brewing Company is (not) offering a new type of half-dozen, their own Cellarman’s Half-Dozen, a pack of not six, but seven beers. That's one more than six!

Busy Beaver Button Co. is (not) offering "snack buttons" in four delicious flavors like sushi and pizza for when you are too busy to eat.

Uncle Milty's, a semen-based restaurant is (not) coming to Oak Park. Though the article by David Hammond notes that there are plenty of places to actually eat fish semen in Chicago.

Sky Full Of Bacon is (not) coming out with a feature-length documentary called Edzo Dreams of Cheeseburgers celebrating the relentless lifelong quest to create the perfect cheeseburger:

Chicago is (not) banishing food trucks to Lower Wacker to protect regular restaurants from competition. This one is a little too realistic and fooled a couple of food truck advocates and owners on Twitter.
