Why is 'The Villages' so popular?

The Villages also called 'Florida's friendliest hometown' have always been known for their strange acts and lifestyle. Recently, four residents of the 55+ neighborhood were charged with voting twice in the 2020 presidential election. The video of the retirees swapping upside-down pineapples was seen as a bizarre way of showcasing their way of life. One Twitter user wrote, "This can't be right. My wife has a black and blue loofah on her car. Is this a meme?," and another quipped, "I was wondering why granny had those on her golf cart." A user sarcastically wrote, "These would be worth buying and putting on people's cars for lols," and someone shared the loofah color codes and wrote, "Adding color-coded swingers loofahs for Boomers to the bingo chart."

A Reddit user explained, "As someone that owns 2 houses there I can tell you it's absolutely true. City Fire on the weekends, or just about any night really, is a surefire way to get some," and another wrote, "I'm skeptical considering The Villages account for a substantial portion of Florida's STD statistics."

Is 'The Villages' loofah swap a myth?

Responding to the 'color-coded loofah' swap in Florida's master-planned retirement community, many social media users claiming to have either lived or worked there debated on whether the rumored idea of the loofahs was a myth or truth. Calling it a myth, one Reddit user wrote, "I have worked in The Villages for over 3 years and this is a myth. The reason for the loofas is simple, it’s so they can find their car. All the retirees drive a similar car and old gran can’t go around the whole parking lot looking for her car. So the loofa is an easy way for them to spot it from a distance. Trust me all the people I have met are definitely not swingers as most can barely stand without assistance."

"LOL! I’m not a Villages resident, but my wife (f63) put Boston Terrier window stickers on her car to help tell it from all the other bland mini SUVs in the parking lot," a user joked and another commented, "This is very much a thing. Anyone who believes differently is clueless. I have worked quite a bit in The Villages and this is very true."
