Slimy Sneeze Pranks

The Pranker Uses a Misty Spray to Fake Huge Sneezes

— December 14, 2012 — Unique
If you’re not afraid of getting into a confrontation with a stranger, go ahead and try this sneeze prank for yourself.

It’s one thing to frighten someone, it’s another thing entirely to sneeze on a person you don't know. In today’s world, there are so many warnings about germs that people are very aware of picking up anything from strangers while they are in public places. That’s why this sneeze prank is pretty risky.

A man wearing a YouTube t-shirt (which might be a giveaway) is seen in this video standing on a street corner. Right as a pedestrian or group of pedestrians pass him, he keels over as if he’s sneezing and sprays a mist toward the pedestrian(s). Some of the people stop or look over at him immediately in disgust. One guy even turns and says, “what do you have?”
