A man named Ramil Albano decided to get a tattoo of a popular takoyaki brand’s logo on his forehead after seeing a Facebook post offering a cash prize of P100,000 for anyone who would do so.
The Facebook page Taragis Takoyaki shared the post, initially seemed legitimate, with many believing it to be a genuine opportunity to win a huge amount of cash. The post quickly spread like a wildfire online.
The post, which appeared at 3:36 PM, contained an image of the takoyaki brand’s logo with the caption announcing the cash prize for anyone willing to get the tattoo. However, hidden within the photo was a disclaimer that read “APRIL FOOL’S,” visible only upon clicking on the photo.
Unfortunately, the man failed to notice this important detail before proceeding with his decision. Eventually, the takoyaki brand made another post acknowledging the messages they had received about a man taking the challenge seriously and getting the tattoo.
Taragis Takoyaki clarified that the tattoo challenge was indeed an April Fools’ prank and stated that they were not accountable for the man’s actions. The company emphasized the importance of reading comprehension.
