April Fools’ Day is definitely your free pass to make a complete boo-boo of your buddies by playing some fun pranks on them. There’s only one rule to remember though: Everyone’s boundaries should be respected and you’ve got to make sure that no one gets hurt. Here are some harmless yet hilarious April Fool prank ideas for friends that you can definitely try:
1. Faux Ice Cream
Make a fake ice cream that tastes horrible and trick your buddy into tasting your carefully-crafted delicacy. You can use mashed potatoes and some malai and just add a layer of chocolate syrup to make it look like a real sundae ice cream.
2. Choco Surprise
Gift them a box of their favourite chocolates–but with a twist. Let the box remain full of wrappers and a note saying “fooled you”.
3. Parcel Prank
Bombard them with couriers throughout the day. Make sure to fill the boxes with junk and wrappers and a special funny note in each box to make them laugh the whole day.
4. Fart Bomb
This one is a classic that never fails to crack everyone up. All you’ve got to do is to buy a fart bomb and place it on the chair/car seat of your unsuspecting buddy. Watch them turn red with embarrassment when they sit on it.
5. The Classic Alarm Clock Prank
Want them to start the day bright and early and alert? Set off 10-15 alarm clocks at the same time in their room. Or, just set random alarms through the day with crazy ringtones. They’ll never see it coming!
