So says Lyn Thomas, author of 100% Pure Fake (Kids Can Press), which teaches kids how to create the nastiest special effects to trick their friends and family.
This includes gross-out concoctions like fake “Veggie Vomit,” rotting skin, fake snot, and the ultimate sick trick, edible dog poop.
Thomas says nibbling on a piece of poo garners an instant reaction from petrified onlookers, and she should know – she tested the trick out on the kids in her neighborhood.
When she picked up the fake doo-doo – made of oats, cereal, cocoa powder, vanilla, and sugar – and stuffed it in her mouth, the youngsters “went nuts.”
That’s when Thomas knew she had a hit.
Though fake poo will get a laugh, placing it on Mom and Dad’s pillow or favorite book is risky considering it could lead to a grounding.
