A Deceiving Treat
One Halloween, this storyteller’s dad revealed his inner prankster when it came to trick-or-treating. Back then, the dad concocted homemade cupcakes for the local children. While most of the cupcakes contained delightful jam fillings, a select few harbored a trick rather than a treat. As the kids eagerly bit into their cupcakes, they would discover the unexpected surprise within – a dollop of mustard or a dab of ketchup. The mix of bewildered expressions and laughter from the unsuspecting youngsters created a memorable and hilarious Halloween spectacle.
Instead of jam, these mischievous cupcakes concealed a surprise ingredient: mustard! Such a prank, though amusing, would likely not be well-received in today’s trick-or-treating climate. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that the concept is indeed a clever prank. For anyone contemplating such a trick, it is advisable to target a victim who is well-acquainted with the prankster.
