Tinder’s height verification
Have you ever met someone, who lied about their height? How big was the difference?

Tommaso Boddi / StringerWell, we survived another April Fools' Day.
And, as it always goes, most brands unveiled some kind of mild, inoffensive prank for the holiday.
Some of the corporate April Fools' Day pranks this year include McDonald's Australia. They posted a picture of the McPickle which is basically a Big Mac with a bunch of pickles replacing the meat. Hasbro announced Mr. Potato Head has been replaced with Mr. Avocado Head. One of our favorites was Dunkin' Donuts. They created a "super dough holder" which is just two giant donuts around a cup of coffee.
But the one that got a lot of press coverage leading up to April Fools' Day was Tinder's new "height verification" feature.
The press release said, “Simply input your true, accurate height with a screenshot of you standing next to any commercial building. We’ll do some state-of-the-art verifying and you’ll receive your badge directly on your profile”
Unforunately it was all a fake. Some people actually liked the joke and think Tinder should introduce it as a real feature.
The morning show shared their opinion on the "joke." Click below to hear what they think
