It’s that time again, April 1, the day of jokes, pranks and jokes. Omroep Flevoland has collected a selection of April Fool’s jokes from Flevoland for you. On closer inspection, some messages turned out not to be a joke, but actually true. For example, in the Koploper swimming pool in Lelystad you could really swim with crocodiles and there were actually 100 gnomes to see in a garden. Videos of that are at the bottom of this post.
Polder tower will shrink
An iconic symbol of the region faced a remarkable transformation today. The Polder Tower in Emmeloord would be shortened to 30 meters from today. This could be read on the Facebook page ‘Stad Emmeloord’. This is due to possible interference with the air lines of wind turbines.
The message provoked many reactions, such as: “This is the nicest April Fool’s joke ever” and “Nice April Fool’s joke this… otherwise they should fire the creators of this on the spot.”
Exciting shops?
For a while it seemed that erotic online store EasyToys would open branches in Almere and Lelystad. But unfortunately, you have to go somewhere else for all your sex toys. It turned out to be an April Fool’s joke. There were posters in several storefronts in Almere and Lelystad stating that the EasyToys store would open soon.
VV Unicum becomes Bayer Lelystad
Football club VV Unicum from Lelystad announces Instagram entered into a mega deal with pharmaceutical company Bayer, which, according to the report, also sponsors the football clubs Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. Together with the board, the pharmaceutical company will develop the renamed club ‘Bayer Lelystad’. German clubs are given priority over youth players, while German players in Lelystad can stay for free at Van der Valk to gain experience.
Kruidnoten in March?
Only today you can get kruidnoten at the PLUS Postma supermarket in Lelystad. The store posts a photo on Facebook of four shelves richly filled with different types of spiced nuts. Unfortunately, this action is also a joke. The photo is from August 2022. Spice nut lovers will have to wait a little longer.
Toilet paper made from cellulose from Flevoland wastewater
The Zuiderzeeland Water Board recently started a project to remove the fiber cellulose from wastewater in Zeewolde. The cost of the filter is at least 2.5 million euros, but in the long term an environmental benefit can be achieved. On April 1, the water board will present the first toilet rolls made from the fibers. Colleagues from Zuiderzeeland were allowed to collect a maximum of 10 rolls per person at the purification in Zeewolde.
1 April hook
Snack bar De Leeuw Snacks in Zeewolde has played a joke with the monthly menu. Customers could buy an ‘Elite croquette’ throughout the month of March. According to employees of the snack bar, the new product was popular. “But what our customers didn’t know: he was vegetarian!”
Were the crocodiles an April Fool’s joke?
Today you could supposedly swim with crocodiles in the De Koploper swimming pool in Lelystad. According to the swimming pool, daredevils who wanted to could take a dip with the green creeps in the instruction pool. Upon arrival it turned out to be inflatable crocodiles. That was no problem for the visitors.
Walibi sells tickets at a discount?
Walibi Holland sows doubt about one action which has to start tomorrow. Then 24,000 entrance tickets will go on sale for 24 euros each. Last year Walibi did a similar campaign that got completely out of hand. The server where orders could be placed crashed. People who couldn’t order tickets talked about scams. According to Walibi, it was not an April Fool’s joke, but the real intention was to sell the tickets at a discount. Watch and buy gnomes
Cynthia Trommelen from Lelystad had opened her backyard to show her gnome collection. She has bought a hundred garden gnomes, but most of them are still in the box. She wanted to have a copy made of a gnome she bought thirty years ago. That was only possible if she purchased at least a hundred. The opening of the garden coincided with April 1, but is therefore no joke. In addition to garden gnomes, she sells other items from her garden, such as animal statues and windmills.
