This daughter's prank involving Brussels sprouts will make you love pranks again
Christmas pranks are notoriously, unabashedly corny. Every once in a while, however, a Christmas prank comes along that's so good it makes you forget that nearly all pranks are bad.
I'm a particular fan of Twitter user Judy Brown's Christmas prank, which involves two of the most disgusting foods on earth: Ferrero Rocher chocolates (sorry) and Brussels sprouts (which are only good when roasted or fried).
Two years ago, as part of a Christmas prank, Brown switched out a Ferrero Rocher chocolate, a favorite of her father's, for a Brussels sprout.

The prank was too good not to replicate. Still, Brown decided to wait two years for the next one in order to curb any suspicion.
This time around, she played a similar trick, but with much more artfulness and disguise.
The full thread is worth reading out loud to anyone who'll listen:

We are all chuckling, @mcjude. Thank you for your work in reclaiming the lowliest of comedy genres -- the prank -- and doing it in the name of chocolate justice.
