In a Facebook post April 1, James Eldridge, a state senator, 'announced' that he would buy Colonial Candies, a beloved local candy and ice cream store.
'...when I saw the For Sale sign below the big candy store lettering on Route 495, I just had to take action,' Eldridge wrote in his post.
Julia Mejia, an at-large city councilor for Boston, joked about running for Suffolk Supreme Judicial Court, fooling some people on social media.
'Great fit,' one user wrote under Mejia's post, while others congratulated her, only to find out later it was a joke.
