1. Insect silhouette on the light
Paste a fake insect on the inside of your lampshade or ceiling light to create a silhouette, and watch them shriek when they turn on the lights. We recommend cockroach silhouettes for the best effect.
2. Turd on the toilet bowl
Place a realistic-looking piece of turd on your toilet bowl, or anywhere, really. Imagine their shock to see this first thing in the morning!
3. Why won’t the soap lather?
Buy Dove bar soap here Buy base and top coat nail polish here
If your family uses bar soaps, paint a bar of soap with clear nail polish and leave it in the shower. For this to work better, let the nail polish dry on the soap first.
4. “Trap” your cat in a square
Own a cat? Create a square on the ground with bright-coloured masking tape. When your cat walks into it, they will sit in it like how they occupy a cardboard box.
5. “Poop” on their hands
Pretend you’re going to the bathroom and ask your loved one to bring you a new roll of toilet paper. When they pass you the toilet paper, “accidentally” smear chocolate spread on their hands.
6. Confetti on the ceiling fan
Buy a jar of sequins for S$18.39
Place some confetti on top of a ceiling fan, and watch them get showered with a sparkly surprise when they turn on the fan. But be prepared to help clean up the mess!
7. A tasty cup of “dirt” dessert
Buy Oreo biscuits at S$2.25 Buy gummy candies at S$1.45
Fill the bottom of a cup with pudding, ice cream or whipped cream, topped with finely crushed Oreo cookies. Finish it with some gummy worms!
8. Chewbacca in a meeting
Wear a Chewbacca mask and roar like one during your online meeting. Just make sure you’re not having a meeting with your superiors or clients!
9. “Fart” that really smells
Enhance your whoopee cushion with a fart spray. The rest is history.
