This [mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraft-mac-cheese-pizza) and cheese prank would fool anyone. A clever individual decided to take the cheese powder from [Kraft’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraft-mac-cheese-popcorn) mac and cheese mix and add it with lots of water in a pitcher to look just like orange juice. They then put it in the fridge and awaited their victim's thirst.

My family drinks a lot of orange juice so I feel like this would have been a perfect prank to play on them if I was going to do any sort of April Fool’s Day prank. This is a perfectly playful prank because it is inexpensive and will not cause any physical harm to another person. I would have never thought of this myself, but I think this is a clever prank using materials you probably already have at home. The mac and cheese prank seems foolproof. I don’t think anyone would call your bluff before taking their first sip.
