the prank

With the prick of a pushpin, turn a plastic straw into the world’s most frustrating beverage utensil and leave your victims wondering if they’ve forgotten how to drink properly.

what you do

THE SETUP

1 Use the pushpin to poke a tiny hole near the top of each straw. Be careful not to push it all the way through to the other side of the straw. You just want one hole, not two.

PULL THE PRANK

1 At mealtime or snack time, serve everyone drinks with trick straws in them. (Give yourself a regular straw, of course.) No matter how hard your victims try, they won’t be able to suck the liquid through the straw.

2 As you merrily slurp up your drink say, “Wow, you guys don’t seem to have much lung power. You should try exercising more.”
