My sister called me the other day to catch up and chat. When I asked what she was doing she explained that she was sneaking over to our brother’s house to play a friendly prank on him. She gave me the details and I thought it was such a fun idea that I had to share it with you! It is fun for anytime, but especially if someone needs some cheering up! I love this prank because it will really catch someone off guard, give them something to think about and SURELY make them SMILE.
We all know the saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” and even if you think it is cliche, then fact that everyone knows it makes it perfect for this prank.
You will need:
- a box of “life” cereal
- lemons
- packets of sugar
TIP: You could use artificial lemons along with packets of pre-made lemonade mix.
DIY:
1. Carefully open the box of life cereal being careful not to bend or tear the packaging. Remove the bag of cereal inside.
2. Place lemons and sugar packets inside the box.
3. Using a glue gun, carefully seal the cereal box back together with a thin strip of glue. (Don’t use a lot of glue. You only need a small amount.)
4. Slip it inside the cereal cupboard or leave out for your friend to find.
TIP: You can add a sweet note in the bottom of the box so that the person will know who to thank and may contact you once the prank has been played! They will be happy that you thought of them.

Haha, I bet I could find some other uses for this idea, outside of a Life box- but the cereal one is pretty witty. Thanks for the smile!

Chrissy
What a fun idea! That would be fun to give someone who has been down. It would definitely make them smile!
Amy
That is such a cute trick! Totally a way to brighten someone’s day too!
Dee Mauser
Haha, cute idea. This gives me an idea but not adding lemons to the box. What about those fake plastic spiders? Oh boy, that would get someone on their toes!
Scott
Neat trick. Totally wasn’t expecting that – I thought you were going to include a recipe for making sour cereal that would hit them in the morning!
Carlee C
Very cute prank. I think that would definitely get a few chuckles in my family. I would be more than happy to have the cereal and the lemonade.

That is too cute. My youngest would not get what is meant by it but he would still enjoy finding that in his box.

I love this! My brother dressed up as “life” for Halloween last year and he handed out lemons instead of candy 🙂

Ha! I think this is too funny. Plus, I love lemonade so I wouldn’t be upset to see the lemons. 😀
Dominique
Ha, I like fun practical jokes like this. Cute idea!

Oh my gosh, this is a great prank. At first when I saw the box of Life, I thought of an old joke, where you short sheet the bed and fill it with cereal. Someone did that to my uncle and aunt when they got married.
Debra
So stinkin’ clever, I love this. Now, how to pull it off!!! How do I sneak a cereal box into their house?
Kathleen Bailey
Ha that’s cute! I totally got it as soon as I saw Life cereal and lemons.

My sister used the spare key to my brother’s house. If you dont have home access, you may have to employ one of the family members OR set it at the door and RUN!
