Did you hear what llaollao announce?
It's the time of the year again. Where you roll our your favourite pranks and pull it on your friends - but it's not Halloween trick or treatin'... April Fools Day! How many were you victim to? Here is a compilation of 6 corporate April Fools Joke in Singapore:
1. Jetstar
One of the major budget airlines in Singapore, Jetstar declared that they will be training their staff to be fluent in Singlish on all their flights to 'make everyone feel at home'. This comes together with a Singlish-ridden interface on their new website. Because Jetstar can. Pretty extensive attempts, including a video to show you how it works:
2. Samsung Galaxy BLADE edge
The best technologies are always announced on 1st April, because we're welcoming the world’s first smart knife with smartphone capabilities from Samsung in the form of Galaxy BLADE edge. Designed with diamonds in mind, you can now use this smartphone-knife to cut through a lobster tails and tender heirloom tomatoes.
3. Starbucks - Reusable Cup Plus
Claiming to have created the 'coffee cup of tomorrow', powered by state of the art technology, the Cup+ alerts you when you’re low on caffeine and offers 'smart drink suggestions'. It can even calculate the drink you need and automatically fills out your drink order. You won’t even have to speak to anyone before your morning coffee. Now this is one invention we really need...
4. Body Shop Singapore's Moon Dust
Sprinkle on some moon dust, maybe? This intergalactic development promises to smooth & buff your skin to silky smooth quality - what are you still waiting for? The advertisement is so convincing, it makes me wonder if the Drops of Light™ skincare range on their page is for real too.
5. Explorer Joe Exotic Meats by Honestbee
Heavily lambasted for its tasteless joke (um, pun not really intended) - Honestbee's take on April's Fool is a much more serious one - to raise awareness of illegal wildlife trading. Even though most people must have cringed at this effort, there is no doubt they definitely attracted a lot of attention and did what they aimed to get - publicity. When was the last time I actually read a corporate EDM? This. Read full statement here:
6. llaollao Broccoli flavoured frozen yogurt
Testing their limits of their delicious froyo recipe, llaollao decides to add veggies in. Did you believe it for even a second? That said, bid goodbye to the first-quarter of the year and welcome to my favourite month!
