Google adds the snake game to its cards as a real April fool

"The screen cleaner then creates an intense magnetic field around the surface of the phone, actively protecting the impurities – with a sweet smell."

The third "lie" came from "Google Netherlands", a new technological innovation that allows communication and discussion with the tulip flowers for which the Netherlands is famous thanks to the Google Smart Assistant and automated learning techniques. .
