# Orc Supermarket Pranks This Grocery Store Prank Takes an Orc to Fill a Shopping Basket By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-09 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grocery-store-prank References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/06/12/orc-mall-prank/) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSjA3voJydk) This [grocery store prank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asda-checkout-challenge) is pretty harmless and perfect for [Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-trick-treat-pouches), although it's not something that you see every day while you're picking up items from your shopping list. The prank was staged by Rossanne Puck Aafjes as part of a [makeup project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comedy-collaboration) and it involved turning a 7-foot-tall actor into an Orc that looks like one of the creatures right out of the Lord of the Rings. The Orc toured the aisles of the store, towering over people as he shopped for bargains along with everyone else. If you know someone who happens to be a great makeup artist and have a super tall friend, this prank is an easy one to catch people off guard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Halloween Pranks:** Creating unique and surprising pranks for Halloween events or costume parties. - **Makeup Transformations:** Exploring the art of makeup to create dramatic and realistic transformations for entertainment purposes. - **Special Effects in Everyday Life:** Bringing fantasy elements into ordinary situations to create memorable experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Using innovative techniques to entertain audiences and create immersive experiences. - **Creative Arts:** Exploring new possibilities in makeup and special effects to enhance storytelling and visual effects. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating unique experiences and surprises into events to captivate attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Movie-Themed Grocery Store Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asda-and-wicked.md) - [Sensorial Horror-Inspired Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prank-pack.md) - [Anthropomorphic Store Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-social-films.md) - [Playful Retail Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-joke-shop.md) - [Seafaring Animatronic Halloween Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-halloween-2024-collection.md) - [Larger-Than-Life Candy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15foot-inflatable.md) - [Mischievous Gift Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grinch.md) - [Family-Friendly Halloween Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading.md) - [After-Dark Pizza Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/market-street-halloween-pizza.md)
