So, I was thinking that the original joke was in a peanut brittle can, which got me to look it up. This prank has a Wikipedia page! Apparently, the original prank was in a jam jar.
the snake nut can is one of the only practical jokes ive ever successfully deployed
Lol nobody could come up with a better name than "snake nut can"?
That's how they used to spice it up until the market fell out of the snakes-in-cans business.
How’s the chewing gum/mouse trap game? I assume the click-pen/grill starter gag ate into sale of those too.
Man that is a Wikipedia page desperately in need of a video, or at least some images.
I don't remember who had one, my grandma probably, that thing can go in so many places...
Bzoiiing!!!
