Man pulls Halloween prank on kids - but some people warn he's gone 'too far'

A man pulled a Halloween prank on unsuspecting children, but not everyone was impressed.

The cheeky prankster shared his trick on social media, that will leave kids who think they are getting sweeties very disappointed.

The man explained that he doesn't plan on giving out sweets and chocolate to people who knock on his front door. Instead, the man will hand Trick-or-Treaters "golden balls of disappointment", which will remain undetected until the unsuspecting youngster goes to tuck into their haul.

The man shared his "evil" prank in a post on the Casual UK forum on Reddit, where he posted a picture of himself wrapping raw Brussels sprouts in the golden foil of a Ferrero Rocher.

He would then slip the foil-wrapped vegetable back into the brown paper cup that the chocolate would have been presented in, leaving the poor souls who visit his house tomorrow none the wiser, reports the Mirror.

The man captioned his image: "Preparing the Golden Balls of Disappointment for Halloween."

Commenters were torn over the man's diabolical plan, as while some said there was "a special place in hell" for him, others said he was a "legend" - and some even gave him tips on how to take his prank even further.

One person said: "That's a lot of prep just to be an a***hole."

While another wrote: "There is a special place in hell for people like you."

And a third said: "That's just mean. What an a** hat."

But someone else stuck up for the anonymous poster, stating: "Legend!", as they were backed up by another who commented: "Evil, but very funny."

Someone else then suggested: "You need to dip them in chocolate for the full effect.
