On April Fools Day of 1996, a group of Microsoft employees played a practical joke on their hometown of Seattle. They decided to create boxes for a fictitious product called "Microsoft Coffee" and placed them on store shelves all around the city. The incident sparked tons of confusion and even lead to angry reactions from Microsoft and Bill Gates, who placed a ban on any future pranks from the company that did not get approved through them first.
However, no archives or records of this story ever occurring currently exist, outside of a Medium article written by one of the pranksters allegedly involved. But all the evidence that this article provides seems to show that this may be much more than just some silly internet hoax. What is the true and full story to the mysterious tale to Microsoft Coffee?
