I was at a conference in California when I heard about this prank from my program director. She had evidently hit some 18 houses with this one, and still managed to avoid being caught. I told her I’d try it out in our “East Coast” Prank War (soon to go transcontinental as of graduation.) I’d say this worked fairly well. It was a smaller-scale prank. You know.
Supplies: Trash bags (or tablecloth, sheet, etcetera), duct tape, popcorn (around 15 bags per door at least.) You could splurge on an air-popper if you plan to do this as frequently as my program director.
Execution: Pop the popcorn, clearly. And while you do, you’ll need to construct a sheet of trash bags that can stretch the width of the doorframe in question. I met my team and we put tape around three edges of the bag so that we could tape it to the doorframe and floor (as close to the door as you can, so as to maximize the volume of popcorn.) Fill the space with popcorn and scramble to safety. When your victim opens the door in the morning, they’ll flood their room or foyer with popcorn.
Caution: Watch out for sizzling grease and over-heating microwaves!
Difficulty: The only thing that’s difficult about this one is being stealthy. I used three helpers (two people per door) so we could be as quiet as possible. Keep in mind that your victim has to be inside the room.
