While some of us don’t need an excuse to play a prank on our families and friends, 1 April is the only time where you’re not only allowed to cause mischief, you’re practically encouraged to!
If you’re not sure where to begin, here are some great April Fools Day pranks to get the creative juices flowing.
Chocolate Brussels sprouts
This is a very low effort but high reward prank – get your hands on some Brussels sprouts and roll them in some melted chocolate. Leave to harden and then you can take them into the office or leave them in your house for your family or flatmates to find, with a note that says “help yourself!”
Hopefully they’ll have forgotten that it’s April Fool’s Day and take a big bite out of what is bound to be a pretty disgusting creation.
If you’re able to get a hold of a family member or friend’s Facebook account, change their date of birth to 1 April and watch as the birthday messages roll in.
Your victim will be confused at first and will have to shamefacedly make the “thanks for the birthday wishes, but today isn’t actually my birthday…” post.
