4 Easy April Fool's Day Pranks

I think April Fool's Day can be fun, but I'm not great at remembering to plan ahead and add gelatin to milk or add Googly eyes to all of the items in the fridge.

If you are looking for a last minute April Fool's Day Prank that takes zero planning, here are a couple easy ideas to get you started.


1 - Tape a piece of paper to the bottom of a mouse, covering the sensor.  The mouse will not work and it will quickly, but briefly, drive the user crazy.  Great for home or work and takes about 5 seconds.  You can do the same thing with the TV remote and some tape.

2 - Change the language setting on the desktop, cell phone, or other device.  Then enjoy watching them try to change it back.  On an iPhone or iPad you just go to Settings > General >Language & Region.  A quick Google search should get you instructions for other devices.

Some desktops will let you change the orientation of the screen as well.  Good luck trying to change the language back from Japanese to English when everything is upside down!


3 - Get in the break room fridge and turn around all of the tabs on soda cans.  What once was the easy task of cracking open a drink now seems almost impossible.  And at first glance it looks like there is an actual issue with the can!

Reese's Sneezes and Fakin' Bacon

Also, check out the recipe for this fun fake breakfast:

Rice Krispie Pizza

This pizza made from Rice Krispies, jam, frosting, fruit rollups (and even seen some with green sprinkles to look like herbs) would be perfect for April Fools Day:

But that is about the only day I think I would make it.  You can get the recipe HERE.

Happy April 1st

I debated on a blog April Fool's Joke. Thought of a couple of good ones, but they were ALL too much work and ran the risk of losing all my posts, so I figured they wouldn't be worth it. I am not the luckiest person and I didn't want to risk it. Plus I figured if it was too good you all might think my blog had disappeared and then you would disappear. And that would be like playing an April Fools Day joke on yourself. What fun is that?

So instead I will just wish you Happy April Fool's Day and tell you to make this chicken pot pie for dinner:

I Almost Forgot About April Fools!!

I cannot believe that tomorrow is April Fool's Day and I completely almost forgot about it!

Here is the email from Martha that reminded me tomorrow is April Fool's Day:

Transform milk into an unpourable mass:

Stir 1 packet of powdered gelatin into 2 tablespoons of water, and let stand for 5 minutes. Warm 2 cups of milk in the microwave. Stir the gelatin mixture into the milk. Transfer to a glass pitcher or bottle, and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

I would love to post more, put I am about to walk out the door and will be gone for most of the day! So I need your help! Tell me what you do for April Fools Day!

You can leave your pranking plans in a comment or post them on your blog and leave a link in the comment section. One of these days I will figure out Mr. Linky, but today is NOT that day!
