Loftus Three Snakes in a Can - King Deluxe Mixed Nuts Prank

Perfect gift for my eight year old grandson. He pulled the truck on every body.

This is a great item to use on your friends! Its difficult to open at first but gets easier the more you use it! The snakes are really cool and pop up way high up and gives the person your pranking a scare! Its very easy to put the snakes back in which it only takes 1 or 2 tries. I think this item is a for sure 5 stars!

The small can of nuts did not look like the one in the picture on Amazon (as of 12-30-15). Also, the can is actually quite small like a toddler sipping cup.The few metal beads at the bottom of the can is kind of hokey and didn't really sound like shaking nuts in a can (i.e., metal hitting metal). The plastic lid was quite difficult to pry open for certain people (especially kids or the elderly), but I guess it's designed to be tightly secured due to the three spring-loaded snakes. Other than these few cons, the prank worked wonderfully.Suggestion: make the picture of the nuts chocolate coated or spicy or something unusual, since most people will not open a regular can of peanuts, especially if given as a gift. I had to rip off the plastic wrapping then repeatedly suggest that the nuts were special and had a unique flavor in order to get my victims to open the can themselves, but when they did...some reactions were priceless. Video tape them on your cell phone for lasting memories.

When ordered it arrived with a large sticker saying exactly what was inside the can, along with it being printed on the side of the can. It definitely won't stand up to intense study as you can see the snakes inside the can and it gives off a clearly metal rattle. Though it did get a few of my family members and coworkers but that is due to being able to sell that it's just a can of mixed nuts. If you're not a good liar, don't buy this product.

These "Snake in the Cans" are getting harder and harder to pull off on someone. They've always been tough because they just look like a fake can of nuts. And with everybody pranking each other to try and get that next million hits online, it's even harder than ever to pass off a non brand name can of nuts on anyone. I will say that the small beads at the bottom of the can do sound like a full can of nuts and definitely add to the prank.I tried giving this to someone to open and they figured it out. The only way someone fell for it was when I left it on the shelf with all the other food in the kitchen and waited for somebody to open it out of curiosity. The only problem was I wasn't there to see it when it happened. And the person that opened it said they kind of thought it was a fake can.So then I realized that you really only need the spring snakes that come with the can. As long as they can fit you can put them inside anything. Get a can of Planters Nuts or any brand name, find a can about the same size as the fake one, and put the springs inside. Also, I used a screw driver to pry out the bottom that holds the beads that sound like nuts and put them iniside the real peanut can. This is more effective and will increase your odds of fooling someone. Give it a try if people aren't falling for it.

So much fun. Three coiled snakes in three colors pop out of the can when the lid is opened. The lid is on very tight, so it is hard for older and very young to open on their own. The snakes can travel 3-6 feet in the air (they're packed in pretty tightly). We even had a child tear the plastic "case" on one of the three snakes/coils. However, we used scotch tape, repaired it, and have continued to use the nuts/snakes every time a new person comes over. Great price, great prank. Do not point at a person's head though!

Worked perfectly. I doubt an adult that was actually paying attention, would think this had nuts inside. Great for kids. I took the snakes out and put it in another container. (no more sneaking candy). 3 snakes have a sturdy metal coil that should last a long time. They are covered in bright plastic each in a different color. They are about 12 inches long and a couple of inches in diameter.

Snakes are good, but the can makes a jangly loose metal noise when you pick it up and the lid is super hard to open, so you are definitely not going to fool someone into thinking this is a can of nuts. I bought two and both were the same. Good news is the snakes are the same diameter as a snack sized pringles can, so voila--I now have a can of booby trapped pringles!

I always give a gag gift to my Granddaughter Christmas I believe this one was the one she liked the best she had a blast with it

ein riesen Spaß!

Está muy divertido, aunque la verdad me dejé llevar por lo de "3 snakes in a can" pensé que los resortes serian del color de una serpiente y no de colores pero aun así, está genial!

Can’t comment on flavour as it’s not nuts ! It’s a prank but mad my son jump. Would I buy it again. Prob not ! As you can see through the lid that there’s something colourful in there

Lots of fun
