April Fools Day 2015

By Jo Darby April 1, 2015

Happy April Fools Day 2015. It’s just gone 9am and I’ve already happened upon several fools. You can read about previous fools from years gone by here and here.

Go Ape Tree Top Segway

The first one I spotted was the Go Ape Tree Top Segway Experience. They sent me an email this morning and I was immediately suspicious, but I do actually think this was quite a good joke as it simply combines their Tree Top Adventure with their Forest Segway. They’ve even mocked up a nice little image.

Go Ape!

Radio One Eyes Player

Next up is Radio One, who either weren’t feeling too creative, ran out of time or severely underestimated their audience, with this play on the iPlayer the Eyes Player. This new concept involved tiny cameras and microphones which let the audience peek in to the lives of various Radio One DJ 24/7. Available from April 1st.

LloydsPharmacy have hedged their bets somewhat with not 1, but 5 April Fools. I could go in to detail about their NPDs, but you might as well just check them out for yourself.
