Companies' April Fools jokes; also, Pacman!

I know that someone already started a discussion about April Fools, but I'm curious about a specific aspect of it.  In the US, many large companies play April Fools jokes.  Google in particular always has the best jokes.  My favorite example was the year that YouTube (owned by Google) said it was offering all of YouTube on DVD, delivered to your house!  It described how many trucks it would take to bring DVDs of every YouTube video to your home, and when the trucks would arrive.  (I was told that mine would arrive on June 16, 2045.)  This year, one of Google's April Fools jokes was turning Google Maps into Pacman!  (If you want to play, go to maps.google.com and click on the Pacman icon in the lower left corner, next to the Google Earth button.)

Do companies in your country play April Fools jokes?  If so, what are some examples?  For my fellow Americans, which corporate April Fools joke has been your favorite?
