The Lady Friend Punk’d Me
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 30-06-2011
Those of you who have lived with someone, even a roommate, you can probably relate to the inevitable fight over whose food is whose.. who paid for it and who gets to eat it.The Simple Dude and I get along quite well until it comes to this topic. Call me selfish, but I buy these ice cream cones that I love but choose not to share. Simply because they’re mine, dammit!
I could do the passive-aggressive note with my name on it, like they do in office refrigerators, but I chose a different route. You see, SD HATES chicken salad. Detests it in fact. So, I came up with a fool-proof plan. Disguise the ice cream cones as chicken salad sandwiches.
How did I do this you ask? Well, all it took was some skills at MS Word and Google images. And there, Mama Fizzoli’s Frozen Chicken Salad Sandwiches were born.
He came home from work, and knowing I went grocery shopping, took up his usual ritual to check out “what’s new in the fridge/freezer.” He came across the Mama Fizzoli’s and without question, said it’s cool I found something new to bring for lunch to work.Brilliant.
My plan worked perfectly.
That is until… two days later he was digging for some Pizza Nuggets in the back of the fridge and the Mama Fizzoli’s fell flat on the floor with “Chocolate with Fudge” writing face-up. Crap. Busted.
I tried the old “but really, chicken salad, with chocolate and fudge – how could you go wrong?” But even as simple as he is, he saw through the facade and ate one of my f*cking ice cream cones with no remorse.
Note to self: get better at mocking-up commercial food packaging.
Ok, first of all.. I don’t just detest chicken salad for no good reason. I had a pretty bad bout of food poisoning with it 10 years ago, and to this day I can’t even stand the thought of it.
She thinks she soooooo funny. I’ll get her back one of these days.
SD
HAHAHAHA – That was awesome. I'm so using that idea.

mama fizzoli has nothing on baby tuna tots.
may want to amp up the nasty factor ms. prankster!
what chocolate lover couldn't sniff out the goods even if in frozen form?
either way- fabu prank!

@Violet: trust me, outside of roadkill there isn't much more she could do to throw me off the trail then labeling it chicken salad. I won't go near that stuff anymore.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:29 pm
Haha that is brilliant and I shall definitely be using such a genius creation in the future muahaha!
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:31 pm
Oh I like her! This is greatness! That is one of the joys I have living sans man in the house…. the only one I have to hide stuff from is the Princess, and she is shorter than me and can't read yet so disguises and placement are slightly less complicated.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:32 pm
This might be the most genius thing I have ever seen. I bow down to her quest to keep those SkinnyCow sandwiches to herself. They are worth their weight in gold! haha.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:44 pm
Clever girl. Lucky boy!
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:52 pm
That is too funny! Loved the prank.
MyLove puts whatever he doesn't want me to eat, in the top cabinet because he knows I'm too short. It's usuually gourmet cookies I won't eat anyway LOL. However, I was brought up if there is food, its for anyone who wants to eat it and I stand by it!

To the lady friend: Spray adhesive and more paper will help you get all 6 sides.
Not that I've ever done that before…. >.>
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:58 pm
That's an awesome idea! I need to do that to my kids. Next time she just needs to keep an old box of chicken salad something or other and put the icecream things in there.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@3:59 pm
I can't lie, I'm a little bit in love with your lady friend now.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@4:03 pm
That right there is awesome!!!!
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@4:04 pm
To the lady friend: Get generic box, plain white one, then glue the chicken salad label to it, put chocolate in new box dispose of old box before dude can see it. The generic box will add credibility to the "New mom and pop store I found with amazing frozen chicken salad sammiches." line you're going to have to tell him.
profit…

Dood, the next cones in your fridge are going to be filled with something to make you wish you actually were eating chicken salad sandwiches.

I hope she has made up for this ruse in some other way.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@4:24 pm
Bonus points to the lady friend.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@4:28 pm
Ahahahha, next time she should buy an actual box of frozen sandwiches and just save the box.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@5:03 pm
That was brilliant! Go, Lady Friend!
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@5:21 pm
Yep, you were punked, but you can take comfort in the fact that it WAS a superior prank. Do me a favor and ask the Lady friend to apply her genius as to how she would disguise an 8 pack of Mountain Dew … they don't come in a box, and I could really USE that knowledge
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@5:46 pm
lmao. i think i love her. *giggle* now stay away from her ice cream cones. punk.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@5:49 pm
Yum yum – I would have eaten one myself after discovering the "foolery" of it all!
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@6:49 pm
I like her! She's got a great devious mind. Unless I make tuna salad myself I can't eat it out because I too got food poisoning from it years ago and wanted to about die. So I do understand you. Still Lady Friend is one smart cookie!!!
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@8:36 pm
My mom did this to us years ago when she baked Christmas cookies ahead of time and disguised them as spinach in the freezer. We noticed the aroma, but she lied and said it was a candle. Yeah, it worked.
ONCE.

She is a girl after my own heart!
Put a shout out of your book on my blog!
Cheers Tracy @ average life

She thinks it is sooo funny for a reason…that is hilarious! Way to go Lady Friend! *high fives*
This is much more inventive than my hiding a mini fridge in my closet under clothes so my sleep eating roommate didn't drink my milk for my cereal and anything else I wanted to keep sacred. Too great.
Posted on: Jun/30/2011@11:13 pm
Ingenious! Now that the chicken salad sandwich diguise has been revealed, she could always use a tampon box. They pretty much scare most guys off. Just don't forget to add "new design to help you stay cool and fresh in the summer time" on the packaging!

Excellent. LOL
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@12:09 am
Love it! I haven't gotten so creative as to mock up a fake box, but I hide food regularly from my bottomless pit teen son. Usually I use an old box of something he wont eat and fill it up with the good stuff! Fridge, freezer, pantry – it all works great.
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@12:53 am
You know, the more you put the lady friend into your blog, the more I love her! She should really get her own blog one of these days… That was a freaking funny prank.. i love it!

You have to admit..that's kind of awesome. and I love that your lady friend uses "*" just like I do in her swearing.
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@4:37 am
That is the fakest box I have ever seen, I have no clue how you even fell for it. Still, good prank.
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@5:08 am
This was hilarious! Got to admire her for her creativity, lol!
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@7:08 am
I'll make sure I make an entire branded box in my sneaky endeavours.
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@7:57 am
Lady friend is one smart cookie. Is it bad that I zoomed in on your freezer and am now wondering what Texas toast is?
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@10:55 am
I don't understand people that hate chicken salad. Weirdo!
Pretty clever idea though, lady friend.
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@12:51 pm
That's hilarious, and with teenagers in the house, it's an idea whose time has come.
Thanks, Lady Friend!
Posted on: Jul/1/2011@4:54 pm
haha.. That is awesome.
Posted on: Jul/2/2011@2:32 am
OMG! I love it! I'd try it, but the husband takes me to go grocery shopping so I wouldn't get away with it. balls.
Posted on: Jul/2/2011@3:17 am
muahhahahah…brilliant.
Posted on: Jul/2/2011@12:40 pm
I KNEW it would be Skinny Cow!! Warning Simple Dude:: these are HEALTHY, you should probably steer clear…
Posted on: Jul/2/2011@6:14 pm
Love it! I'll have to try that to hide my stash of chocolate in the pantry. Maybe I'll call it "Liver and Onions Pate"?
Posted on: Jul/3/2011@1:11 pm
I have a new found love for your lady friend!
