20 Funny food pranks

April Fools Day, Thanksgiving Day or any day, these pranks will net you some laughs... And a broken nose if the you're unlucky. From giving your customer deceptively disgusting treats to making a huge mess with your roommate's drink, join me as we count down 20 really funny food related pranks. Warning: Prank responsibly. I will not be held responsible if you get a black eye doing these pranks and neither will my sources.

#20: Offer and eat

Results are best if you use something that'll fit all the way in your mouth.
Offer somebody something tasty and pop it in your mouth as soon as they reach for it.

#19: Water in a drink can

Set them up for disappointment!

Empty a not see through beverage container and fill it up with water. Then offer it to someone and watch their surprised reaction.

#18: Caramel onion

My eyes say yes, but my tastebuds say no!
Cover a red onion with caramel sauce and possibly chopped nuts and pass it off as a caramel onion. Then sit back and laugh as they spit the deceptive treat out in disgusted.

#17: Pickle Jello

Look's good, doesn't it?
Make Jello treats with pickle brine and salt as additional ingredients. If you want them to be really alluring, decorate them with fruit and/or whipped cream.

#16: Soda can mess

Sploosh shocka locka!
Shake up a soda can and give it to somebody. Stand back as the soda sprays all over your victim and run for it if they get mad.

#15: Meatloaf cake

It's a trap!
Make a pound of meatloaf and cover it with frosting so you can pass it off as cake.

#14: Colgate Oreos

At least your target's breath smell nicer.
Replace the icing of Oreo or other sandwich cookies with white toothpaste. Just don't film yourself giving them to homeless people and put the footage on YouTube.

#13: Frozen breakfast cereal

I was frozen today!
Put a bowl of cereal with milk and a spoon in the freezer overnight. When morning comes, give the bowl to a friend and laugh as they try to remove the spoon.

#12: Beanboozled!

Nasty!
Place some Jelly Belly Beanboozled beans in with your target's bowl of jelly beans. Kinda explains itself.

#11: Ice Mentos

As soon as these melt, your friend's soda will go all over the place!
Freeze Mentos mints into ice cubes and put them in your target's soda. When the ice melts, their soda will overflow and get all over the place.

#10: Chocolate covered garlic

Chopped walnuts optional, but they will make these more alluring.
Cover garlic cloves in melted chocolate and pass the morsels off as chocolate covered peanuts.

#9: Upside down water cup

You know what they say: All upside down cups spill drinks!
Set a drinking container up so that its upside down and filled with whatever drink you want. When the container is picked up, the liquid will spill out and onto whatever it was standing on.

#8: Mealworm chocolates

Believe it or not, some people actually eat these.
When making chocolate treats, hide roasted mealworms within them. Unless your target likes culinarily prepared bugs, this will surely gross them out.

#7: Colorful toilet water

What a waste of good pink lemonade!
Put a drink mix into the tank of your victim's toilet so that when flushed the water it puts into the bowl is colored.

#6: Already sliced up banana

When done right, those pieces will go flying!
Take a banana and slice the fruit within the skin using a sharp pin. To do this, push the pin into the skin and wiggle it around until the fruit is sliced up. If you did it right, the banana should fall apart when it's peeled

#5: Hotter than they expected

Hot cha cha cha cha cha!
Sneak a spicy ingredient like hot sauce or spicy peppers into your target's next snack or meal. This'll work especially well if they don't like spicy stuff, but make sure they aren't allergic to your secret ingredient.

#4: Kraft orange juice

How cheesy!
Mix water and Kraft cheese powder together and pass it off as orange juice.

#3: Windex Gatorade

Just don't get your bottles mixed up. You do not want Windex in your stomach!
Empty and clean out a spray bottle of window cleaner and fill it with a brightly colored drink, making sure the drink's color matches the color of the window cleaner. When somebody's watching, drink from the spray bottle.

#2: Vanilla Mayo

Woowee that's a lot of white stuff!
Empty a jar of Mayonnaise and fill it up with vanilla pudding. Then either eat from the jar in front of people or give it to somebody and watch them put it on their sandwich.

#1: Ketchup soda

Unless they have future telling powers, your friends won't see this one coming!
Stick a disposable straw into a packet of ketchup and put it in a non-clear container of soda. Give the drink to somebody and watch their reaction.

If you're looking for some funny pranks to do this Thanksgiving Day, look no further. Just be careful who you prank and you should be fine. If you can remember some more food pranks, place some comments down. I'll see you later. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

15 Absolutely bizarre foods from around the world

Some delicacies might just be better off out of your stomach. From animals that aren't killed before being served to stuff that might just put you in the grave, join me as we count down 15 of the strangest foods this world has to offer.

#15: Bugs

When this is the least strange thing on our list, you know something's up!
In some parts of the worlds, insects, arachnids and myriapods are eaten as a delicacy. Be it roasted ants, deep fried tarantulas or even scorpions stuffed inside lollipops, these dishes come in all shapes, sizes and forms.

#14: Frog legs

I bet these frogs' last words were "My legs"!
True to its title, this dish is the severed and cooked legs of a frog. This dish is typically eaten in France and China and it is rich in protein, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin A and potassium.

#13: Escargot

Gary ain't gonna like this one bit!
This French dish is made up of cooked land snails. The snails are typically cooked in garlic butter, chicken stock or wine and served with Hors d'oeuvre.

#12: Fugu

The chef is the difference between you enjoying some sushi and ending up with the worst food poisoning of your life!
This dish is the prepared meat of a fugu pufferfish. Only chefs with years of experience are allowed to prepare this dish, as this particular fish has a deadly, currently incurable poison in it.

#11: Bird's nest soup

Still better than eating the bird's intestines!
This dish is the result of dissolving a bird's nest in hot water until it has a gelatinous texture. It is priced in China for it's rarity, supposedly high nutritional value, and flavor.

#10: Caviar

A thousand bucks for this?!
Essentially this dish consists salt-cured fish eggs. Despite the unappetizing description, this dish is considered a delicacy and is normally eaten by rich people.

#9: Lutefisk

Last I checked, industrial chemicals are the last things we want near our sushi!
This dish is the result of fish being dried very thoroughly and allowed to rot slightly, then soaked in lye (a powerful industrial chemical) and smoked, followed by being soak in water to remove the lye. It is made in Scandinavia and traditionally served with mashed potatoes.

#8: Sannakji

If he's going to the afterlife, he's making sure you go as well!
Made in Korea, this dish is made of the still moving tentacles of a small octopus that has been killed, cut up and covered in sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds. The tentacles move after death in this case because of the octupus' complex nervous systems. This after death movement makes this dish dangerous to eat, as the tentacles can get stuck to the side of the throat and choke the diner.

#7: Hakarl

Can't you just smell it? Better question: Do you want to smell it?
This Icelandic dish is made up of sleeper sharks that have been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung out for 4 to 5 months. It has a strong ammonia-scent and fishy flavor.

#6: Rocky Mountain Oysters

Oh this just hurts to look at!
Despite the name, the morsels in the picture aren't oysters. Instead, they are the skinned and deep fried testicles of a bull.

#5: Century Egg

The optional last step is to puke till your organs become brightly colored!
This Chinese dish is the result of preserving an egg in clay and ash for several weeks or even months until it turns a darker color and develops a creamy consistency and strong flavor. 

#4: Casu marzu

You can't see the maggots, but they can see you!
This dish is the result of sheep's milk being filled with maggots to ferment it. It originated in Italy or France and is typically eaten in Sardinian. Quick note: It is possible for the maggots to survive in your intestines.

#3: Fried brain sandwich

What are we, zombies?!
As the name suggests, this sandwich contains the fried brains of a cow or pig. Not much more I can say.

#2: Haggis

Talk about using every last part of the animal!
This savory pudding is made up of the heart, liver and lungs of a sheep minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt, then mixed with stock and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach, though nowadays an artificial casing is often used. It has been a popular dish in Scotland for a really long time.

#1: balut

It just winked at me!
This dish is the result of boiling a bird egg with the developing embryo inside it. It is popular in the Philipines and considered by Vietnamese to be a restorative food for pregnant or developing women.

Here's to hoping I didn't ruin Thanksgiving dinner for you. I know I missed more than a few treats (if you can call them that), so some suggestions in the comment section would be appreciated. I'll see you later. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
