Erin The Great

Through the years, I have either headed up or been in the middle of numerous amounts of prank wars. Prank Wars if done right can be some of the most fun you’ll ever have.

I’ve compiled a relatively small list of ideas as well as a ‘don’t’ section to keep your pranking safe, fun and the ability to remain friends afterward.

To be perfectly honest, the only thing I’m sticking under the DON’TS section is destruction of property. This also goes for hair. As funny as you might think putting Nair in a shampoo/conditioner bottle is…. It’s not. As far as everything else, it’s free game.

I’m going to give you some examples starting from your subtle but no where near mean and ending with the most absolutely horrendous, border lining destruction of property.

SUBTLE/NICE

Replacing diet soda with regular soda (make sure victim isn’t a diabetic), Tying all long sleeve shirts together in a closet, Tying all shoe laces together, short sheeting a bed, putting salt in the sugar jar and sugar in the salt shaker etc. These are just a few examples of the nicer variety. Most of these a boring which is why we always just skip this step and move onto Phase II.

MWUAHAHAHA (some may require explanation)

Stealing property (make sure you have every intention of returning property), TP-ing houses (if you’re going to do it, do it right… 10 + rolls at the minimum), using packaging peanuts or confetti on the lawn of a TP’d house, squishing all the contents of a bag of chips with out breaking the seal - shake crushed chips to the end of the bag and stick it under the door of a room and then jump on the air filled part and listen to chips go everywhere (this can also be used with a bag of confetti), locking someone in the shower (this requires actual shower doors), Vaseline under the handle of a car door, corn flakes under the bottom sheet of a bed - finely crush cornflakes and line the mattress with the cornflakes, apply bottom sheet. Post-it noting a car - take post-it notes and cover the entire car, etc. These are the meaner ones but are a heck of a lot more fun to get someone with.+8

QUESTIONING THE FRIENDSHIP

These are my favorite but can’t be used against just anyone… Shaving cream car – This is when you freeze a can of shaving cream, cut it open and place the block of frozen shaving cream in the back seat of a car. Make sure you do this when it’s night time and at least spring time because the shaving cream needs time to de-thaw and fill the car to capacity with shaving cream. Toilet Paper Pasting – this is when you take a detergent bucket and fill about ¾ full of water. Take a roll of toilet paper and remove the core and dunk the paper in the bucket. Keep adding toilet paper until you have a paste like substance. Take paste like substance and smear on whatever you chose to smear. Powdered Sugar Bed - This is when you carefully spread a thin layer of powdered sugar in a bed or sleeping bag. Because the sugar is so fine, it won’t be sensed immediately upon getting in. Once the sleeper has been sleeping and the body heats up, it heats up the sugar and melts and sticks to the person… always a crowd pleaser.

These are only a few ideas to get you started… May the ‘pranking force’ be with you!
