Life
Come April 1, there are two types of people in the world — those that prank and those that get pranked. And regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall on, chances are you'll want to know about the plethora of pranks that could be pulled. And one place to be especially on guard is around the kitchen table. Because there are an arsenal of April Fools' Day foods pranks that will trick even the best prankster.
When it comes to food, everything is fair game on this holiday. You know, provided it's not poisonous. I especially like the thought of tampering with my family and friends edibles because, in most cases, you end up creating something a little weird, but still tasty enough that they won't know if the deed's been done. And, if you have kids, April Fool's Day food pranks are the perfect way to trick them into eating their vegetables.
Now you could go for the toothpaste-filled Oreos of mayonnaise-stuffed donuts, but why not search for some other, more original options. If you're tired of faking a cold, a pregnancy, or an emergency trip to the hospital, here are nine April Fools' Day foods that will trick even the best prankster you know.
