One day, when Ryan Walther met Arik Nordby, a simple box salesman with a big dream, they envisioned themselves working together by combining "ridiculousness and believability". The duo have gone on to disrupt the entire prank gift box industry! With these two men joining to create a different encouragement to laugh, Prank-o was born. It is a self-proclaimed “alternative humor products brand" with a goal of injecting laughter into the solemn ritual of gift-giving.

Ryan and Arik went to Shark Tank to pitch their 'Prank Pack' box, an empty box to wrap the gift you got for a friend or a family member in a prankster way. The interesting part about their product is that the boxes are created to look like bizarre and highly questionable product packages, only to get the priceless looks on people's faces when they receive something they really don't want or need. Shark Mark was convinced and has offered them $640,000 for 25 % of their business - Ryan and Arik accepted his generous offer.

Prank-O offer us screamingly funny, hysterically horrible, but frighteningly convincing items that do not exist. These boxes include excellent photography, typography, and layout. They appear just like the most cheesy items you'd buy from a TV infomercial. The key is that you put genuine gifts inside empty Prank Pack boxes. Then, when they unwrap their gifts, you have that lovely moment of seeing their expressions as they try to be polite.

When Prank-O were partaking in the Shark Tank, their whole presentation appeared to be a hoax. With their prank boxes, they intended to trick the sharks and show what their company is all about. Prank-O is built upon humor and pranks, and they are the most-known prank-brand to this day. They offer their customers prank boxes, flyers, bottle lables, gifts and more!

Some of the prank gifts you can find in their online shop are highly ridiculous, for instance you can buy your friend a 'Cheek Speak' - A small suction cup that attaches your phone to your cheekbone so you can make hands-free calls. Prank-O encourages people to share a good chuckle with friends, family, or coworkers about this technological device that gives "prank calls" a whole new meaning.

Another bizarre product they offer to buy is a 'Pet Sweep' - duster shoes that your pet wears to clean up debris as they walk. A 'Fish Whisle' is an ordinary whistle, but it's presented - as a fish-luring whistle that removes the need for rods and reels. And an 'Earwax candle' to fulfill Emma Dean's 'Earwax Candle Kit'!

Well, it looks dumb, probably feels dumb, but.... Its not really that dumb, especially if you're a turist in place with pick pocketers, with those things you eliminate the humidity of hiding documents or money on your sock, Will still having the security that your stuff is safe.... ( And yes hidfing things in your socks was comon practice here in the old days, more than once i Saw my dad keep the cigarette pack in his sock )

I will blame you when the next generation is living in cages and squinting angrily at anything and everything that comes into their limited field of vision.

No, No and just Nope and if you have that much earwax, better go see your doctor.

This should be advertised with a warning that it’s going to make you be a little bit sick in your mouth.

Earwax is actually liquid oil produced to 'clean' the ear. It only becomes 'wax' because of all the gunk that gets into the ear canal, so yes, it always smells manky. Prefer to make my candles from the babybel wax. MMMMmmmm cheese.

And here I am. Sitting and wondering,if earwax could be used as "candlewax" (If there would be more to harvest,of course)

Nope, not actually wax, mostly skin, doesn’t melt properly for candles, but there is evidence that historically it may have been used at times to wax thread for sewing

“Hey babe, look what I got for your birthday!” “A candle! Nice, but ummm… it smells a bit weird?” “Oh yeah, don’t mind that it isn’t important” “Wait… that colour… OMG EWW! Babe is that earwax?!” “No.. totally not earwax…” “Ew! That is so gross! I’m breaking up with you! 😤” This is a breakup waiting to happen

Hmm, I can't see anything in front of my face. Thank goodness for this face heater though, I don't know what I'd do without it

This isn't specific as to what sounds the speaker makes... Is it music? Is it ambient noise? Maybe it's animal noises? Nothing like taking a number 2 with snakes hissing from your toilet...

I just love that it states rather clearly that it takes 4 gallons of liquor to get through church.
