Here’s a salty prank for the ones who love to drink tea. Take a tea bag and make a tiny cut at the corner, just enough for you to slot some salt into the tea bag through a funnel, and remember to tape up the hole as well. After which, be nice and offer your family and friends this new tea brand you have found! 😉 Watch their faces change as they take the bait and sip from this (salty) best drink ever.
2. For The Starbucks Lovers
Difficulty: ★★★

This is a really nasty prank, especially for true blue Starbucks lovers. Get an empty Starbucks cup and fill it with water. Subsequently, pour in soy sauce and watch the water turn into your typical black coffee from Starbucks, except that it would taste pretty revolting. The next step is to offer the drink to your victim with the excuse “Starbucks had 1 for 1”. Don’t forget to purchase the real black coffee from Starbucks, holding it in your hands while passing them the fake one to make them fall for the prank completely! Tip: Try to match the colour of the fake one to the real one!
3. Razor Away
Difficulty: ★

Here’s a prank that will make your victim jump and panic for certain. Download from your app store an app that will turn your phone into a fake electric razor. Approach your victim and touch their hair while commenting that it’s really long. While they are not looking, open the application and scrape your phone across their hair, pretending to have cut their hair. Don’t forget to run immediately after doing so while screaming “I didn’t mean to cut your hair!” so as to make the prank more convincing. The realistic buzzing sound will trick your victim and make them horrified while frantically touching their hair after, and that’s when you’ll get your laugh.
4. Bug Alert
Difficulty: ★★

Take a piece of black paper and cut out a shape(s) resembling frighteningly insects such as spiders. Then, attach it on the inside of a lampshade. When your victim comes in and switches on the light, the first thing they will see is the shadow of the insect and most likely to startle and run off in terror. An alternative way is to buy fake cockroach toys and plant them in cupboards and corners people will walk by and notice.
5. Nicholas Cage-d
Difficulty: ★★★★

Not exactly environmentally friendly but undoubtedly a comical one – search for Nicholas Cage meme pictures, print them out and paste them everywhere. Nicolas Cage memes are definitely a popular motif among pranksters. For this prank to work, you have to print enough copies and hide them at every corner. These humorous faces will definitely drive your victim crazy as they search around to get rid of them.

An alternative method would be to swap the faces out with Post-Its – an additional way to annoy the hell out of anyone who hates being messy. This prank is really not too environmentally friendly (all that paper wasted just to pull a prank), so try the other options first!
6. Every Laptop’s Dangerous Nemesis
Difficulty: ★★★★★

Any student in the school will instantly freak out if they see liquid on their laptop, especially during this period jam-packed with assignments and project deadlines. Give your victim a heart attack with fake milk splatter on their laptop. Find a smooth surface, such as a piece of glass, and apply any lubricant, like bar soap, over the surface. This allows for easier removal afterwards. Next, take a bottle of white glue and craft out your milk splatter. After it has dried, peel it off the surface with a knife or any sharp object. Now with your milk splatter in hand, you can place it on any laptops you wish to prank and wait to see your victim squeal in terror. An exceptionally perfect prank on those who hog tables at study areas in school with their laptops and disappear for hours… But you didn’t hear about this prank from us!
7. A Classic Prank
Difficulty: ★★

A classic and easy prank you can pull is to grab some Oreo biscuits, take out the center white cream and replace it with toothpaste. Definitely a great way to encourage and brighten smiles with these toothpaste cookies. Although Mint cookie lovers would probably not notice anything wrong with it and assume it’s a new Oreo flavour?!
That’s all the pranks we have for now! What are some of the worst and best pranks you’ve ever experienced? Tell us in the comments! We’d love to hear them (and play them too, oops). Happy pranking, everyone!
