You’ll be licking your lips at the thought of pranking someone with this especially cruel April Fool’s prank product — wasabi lip balm.
People reach for lip balm when their lips are dry, chapped and in need of relief; and there’s nothing quite like a quick dab of lip balm or chap stick to soothe your lips -- unless you’re unfortunate to have a friend who replaces your regular variety with wasabi lip balm.
Thankfully, the wasabi taste in the lip balm isn’t so strong as to make someone sick — the wasabi burn is minimal, so you don’t have to worry (too much) about your prank victims.
Many people enjoy a small amount of the spicy Asian condiment with a sushi meal, but even the most ardent wasabi fan is certain to unpleasantly surprised at being victimized by this spicy and cruel April Fool’s prank.
