Put a bit of jam to patch up the hole where you filled with tomato ketchup so it looks like it is a true jam donut!

Awesome. Here is a video of this prank.  Unfortunately, the doughnut shop didn't have any jelly ones when I stopped in so I had to use regular glazed but it still worked like a charm:

I have a great variation on this Jelly Doughnut prank... I've done this twice on two different occaisions both on april 1st.

I stopped and picked up a dozen jelly and cream filled doughnuts at the local donut shop. I got 3 donuts of each of the following flavours Bavarian cream (Also known as boston cream) with chocolate on top, blueberry and strawberry filled powdered dounuts and what we call Canadian Maple(similar to bavarian cream only with maple instead of chocolate on top.

I then went to the large drugstore and found a "party pack" of twelve flavoured condoms. As coincidence would have it, there were 3 of each in Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Blueberry flavours.

I took out some of the jelly and cream as the above instructions and then opened and unferrled each of the twelve condoms. Then loosely poked them down into the donuts with a small plastic pen. Once the condoms were nested nicely inside I replaced some of the cream or jelly and filled it right up so that if they were squeezed the proper flavour jelly or cream would ooze out a little.

After this preparation the first time I placed the donuts on a table and simply watched as people I worked with came in and grabbed the doughnuts, only to hear screams of disgust emitted as they walked down the hall of sat down to consume them. The only way this didn't work is that for those who stayed in the lunchroom after one person discovered theirs then the other four or five who were there stopped eating theirs. With this form of delivery I got 7 people out of 12 donuts and one guy was chewing and chewing and chewing and couldn't figure out why his donut was so tough!

The second time I did it I went around to my family, who I must admit are already weary of my pranks and yet I still got them with this one! During this occasion I hand delivered each donut by taking the box around to each person. Waiting until each was had by the joke then bringing them in on the delivery of the donuts to other members one at a time. This time my sucess rate was 11 out of 12. Only my wife didn't fall for it. Got to admit, either she's getting smarter or I'm getting more predictable. Either way, 11 out of 12 is still pretty good!

I know this prank sounds gross but for the people I'm around I really had to step it up a notch! Also, I assure you that the flavoured condoms have an edible lubricant and no toxic chemicals in them. The flavours lend themselves excellently to this application and all were new and fresh when I opened them. I can't imagine anyone being hurt by this prank but it sure is funny watching their faces when they figureout what is actually inside thier doughnuts! Great fun!

This is SOOOO nasty!
I couldn't stop laughing while I was reading!

I know, the thought is totally disgusting but I assured sanitation. I even wore disposable plastic gloves during insertion. Last thing I wanted was anyone hurt or sick from them.

Gross but funny. With my luck, though, the victim would have a latex allergy and would end up in the ER and I'd lose my job ...
Apr 13, 2010. 2:56 PMApocalypticDreams says:
The ones I bought were Latex Free. Vinyl I think but can't remember. The package says latex free and my local drug store sells them all year around.

 That's... sick. Not in a good way.

I'd add relish. flavor and texture attack.

oh, also, I happen to own one of those meat injector marinade thingies, so I think that I would rather use that.

family sure, work not so much - tampering even harmlessly with someone's /drink/ these days much less food can be cited as an attempt to poison someone (and I mean seriously harmless materials, say, lemon juice in someone's coffee). This is a great prank but I don't think I'd have the guts to risk it at work xD

 But this is sooo great for the community refrigerator when food keeps getting stolen...  You could "fix up" bag lunches, doughnuts, soft drinks, etc!  Put one fictitious name on all of them, then keep rotating through other fictitious names over time...  Who would complain?  Who could they blame?

I knew a girl once that was furious about people sneaking cans of her Dr. Pepper from a lunchroom fridge.  She tried taping the box closed... leaving notes on it...
Finally one day she set a mouse trap in the box!  Ummm... she ended up in trouble!  (wish I'd been there to see THAT!)

I could totally see it in that situation - dressing up your OWN food and leaving it for thieves.

My dad did that on some hotwings with Dave's Insanity Sauce when someone kept stealing his (labeled) lunch. Hilarity ensued.

 WOW! I never thought of a prank like this!

Oh my gosh!  I would KILL Someone who did this to me!!! LOL!!

Why stop at sabotaging donuts?

Chocolate-coated raw carrot would be just as much if a surprise to somebody expecting a brazil-nut or date... if you're really careful with hygiene so you don't poison anybody chocolate shrimps could be funny - the coating would lock the smell in so there were no clues.   >;-)

 i would not like to get shrimps i am allergic to sea food. good idea just check on allergy info too.
Aug 29, 2009. 1:10 PMbowmaster says:
BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!!!!! You could also fill it up with tic-tacs or similar candy by pushing them through the hole.

"Look! a donut!" *munch* "What the hell?!? Tic-tacs?!?"
Mar 19, 2010. 9:05 AMthelandlord says:
That's fine until you get the bill for all their dental work... :-\

Whatever goes in their needs to be at least safe - and it doesn't even need to be gross for the prank to get a result because you're playing with their head... they're expecting one thing and getting something entirely different.

Mayo sounds like it should work, another variation might be to leave most of the original sweet filling intact, but add some dry gravy granules that will then partially dissolve in the juice?

I have seen this prank done with two fillings that work well-- Mayo and Toothpaste. Mayo is the best because it takes them a moment to figure out what they are experiencing. Catchup and Mustard are usually a little too wet and the doughnut will get soggy if it sits too long. Mayo and Toothpase hold up to time and temperature better... BUT... mayo can go bad, so don't use it if you think it might be more than an hour or so before it is eaten. I like what someone else said about adding salt to sugared doughnuts or four to powdered ones-- nice!
