Fake vomit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fake vomit is a flat green plastic disc with indentations and protrutions designed to look like mucus or vomit. It is a practical joke often used by pranksters to disgust victims.

The prank is performed when the prankster wraps up the fake barf in a handkerchief or tissue paper and mixes with a crowd. The prankster would draw attention to himself/herself by putting the handkerchief or tissue to his/her mouth, concealing the fake barf from view. The prankster would then pretend to sneeze or throw up in the handkerchief or tissue. When he/she is done, the prankster would reveal the fake vomit, disgusting the crowd watching the prank.

Fake vomit may also be made as a concoction of liquid non-staining substances made to look like more realistic human vomit.
