The Inflatable Trek captains chair was real. And from time to time the April Fools stuff gets made into real things. The 8-bit tie, caffeinated soap ad Taun-Taun sleeping bag were all April fools items originally.

710 cap...

They slowly add new stuff. It's worth a visit from time to time to see what new 'product' they have.
