Simple but hilarious! Prank & practical joke roundup (51–60)
It exploded when I opened the cola.
When it comes to everyday catastrophes, Mentos and Coke are the classic example.
It’s becoming common knowledge that dropping Mentos into Coke makes it erupt with incredible force.
Mentos-and-Coke used to be a staple prank, but it’s gotten so famous that people catch on if you try it the usual way.
That’s why you should try the Mentos Coke bomb introduced by Avntis in this video.
You hide Mentos in the bottle cap, and when someone goes to drink, the Mentos drop in and the Coke explodes.
The video explains the detailed steps, so use it as a reference! With this method, you can pull off a Mentos-and-Coke prank without getting caught!
A scary face in the car window
The sight of an eerie face reflected in a car window is a classic pattern among ghost phenomena.
This prank takes inspiration from that situation where a scary face appears on a window.
While inside the car, you ask the target in the passenger seat to close the window, and as the window rolls up, a scary face that’s been attached there comes into view.
Because something is stuck to the clear window, the target feels a sense of wrongness, instinctively looks in that direction, and gets startled.
It’s recommended to use an image or photo with a strong impact—something that surpasses the mere feeling that ‘something’s on the window.’
Fake food prank
Here’s a prank using food replicas that will get your friends and family excited.
It’s simple enough for elementary and middle school students to do, so feel free to give it a try.
First, prepare a food replica that looks like a spilled drink.
Then place it so it looks like the drink spilled onto the target’s PC or valuables, and call them over.
Acting skill is the key to success, so play your part well and draw out a funny reaction from the target.
toy snake
Here’s a prank that’s perfect for friends or family who get scared easily: use a toy snake.
Slip the snake into the target’s bag or personal belongings, or place it on the chair they’re about to sit on.
Rather than doing it at home or in town, trying it in nature—like at a park or while camping, where snakes might actually be—will likely increase your success rate.
And after you enjoy their terrified reaction, make sure to follow up and comfort them.

Swapping delivered pizzas
This is a prank where you order a delivery pizza and swap out the contents with a pizza you made yourself.
As long as you can make the pizza, all you have to do is replace the inside, so it’s easy.
If you can make a homemade pizza that tastes better than the delivery one, like in the video, it’s a big success! But then… what was the point of ordering the pizza in the first place?
Drop the breaker during a horror game
This is a prank where you secretly trip the room’s breaker while someone is playing a super popular horror game.
Even just playing a horror game normally makes many people feel cornered, so if the room suddenly goes pitch dark, they’ll probably be shocked and panic.
A prank like this might be a fun way to change things up once in a while.
It could also be interesting to add other horror elements, like making noises before turning the lights off.
Try out different ideas and see what works!
Order delivery pizza during class at school
This is a hilarious prank that shows how people react when a pizza gets delivered in a totally impossible situation! In this video, the prankster orders pizza during a class.
They got permission from both the school and the pizza place and teamed up to play the prank on the teacher in charge of that class.
It’s the perfect prank for anyone who has a friendly teacher at school or knows a teacher who’s up for a laugh! And after it’s over, everyone can share the pizza, so it’s a win-win!
