Hilarious Egg Pranks to Try Out

A good prank strikes a healthy balance between catching someone off guard and making sure the other party isn’t offended. A good practical joke keeps things above the belt, avoids total humiliation and involves a bit of planning.

So let’s say you’re planning to have a bit of fun with someone you live with. Maybe it’s your romantic partner or housemate. Whatever the case, you’ve decided that the house needs a lot more laughter than it’s getting, and you’re just the person to make it happen. How do you do that without offending anyone and getting egg on your face? Here are a few egg pranks that are as humorous as they are harmless:

Egg in the Door Prank

You’ll need an egg, a door and an unsuspecting friend or relative. Tell your loved one that you would like to perform a magic trick for them. Instruct them to put their thumb and index finger through the crack on the side of the door opposite the handle (this is the space that usually has two hinges). Place the egg between their fingers and tell them to not let go because you’re about to perform the trick. Then simply leave while they wait for you to perform the trick. But don’t leave for too long, as they might drop the egg.

Ghost Message Egg Prank

For this prank you’ll need a boiled egg, one tablespoon of alum pool cleaning powder, two cups of white vinegar and an earbud. After your egg is boiled, dissolve the alum in vinegar by stirring it with a spoon. Dip the earbud into the solution and write a scary message on the shell. Hide your tools and say something about craving a boiled egg. Take the egg and start removing the shell in front of your victim. Once the shell is removed, the writing will be visible on the egg’s surface.

Fake Eggs and Fries Prank

Do you have a can of peach halves, an apple and yoghurt? That’s all you’ll need for this prank. Peel the apple and cut it into pieces that resemble french fries. Then place the peach half on a plate, making sure the hollowed out part is facing the bottom. Spread yoghurt around the peach half, making sure it resembles an egg white. Place the apple slices on the side of the plate and make sure they don’t touch the yoghurt. Take a picture and forward to your housemate or relative, telling them they should come to the kitchen for eggs and fries. If the picture is taken correctly, they’ll think that’s exactly what they’re going to eat. The jig will only be up once they take a closer look at the plate. If they’ve worked up an appetite for actual eggs, have a few egg recipes in arm’s reach to prepare for them.

A good laugh and less stress go together like eggs and Aromat. Go ahead and pull a few harmless practical jokes on your loved ones for an experience that’s sure to induce side-splitting laughter.
