Scare the living daylights out of hungry refrigerator-raiders—especially those who may have pranked you last year—by putting together this creation that looks like a human head pickling in a jar. This [April Fool's 2014 prank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin) requires some basic photo editing skills. Using a photo editor, two pictures of a human head are blended together to create a flat image of the head, which is then laminated and submerged in a jar filled with water and green food coloring. The placing of a flat image in a curved jar—along with the distortion effect of the water—gives the illusion of a decapitated human head floating in a jar of brine or other [pickling fluid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-the-brine).
