Husband's Coke prank on wife backfires
A now-viral video uploaded on 15 July 2025 shows the husband secretly preparing a bottle of Coke by adding Mentos sweets and shaking it, knowing it would create a fizzy explosion upon opening. With the trap set, he called on his unsuspecting wife to join him for a cold drink.

His aim? To get her to open the booby-trapped bottle and capture her reaction on camera. However, things didn’t go as planned.
The wife, clearly one step ahead, cleverly switched the bottles when he wasn't looking. So when the time came to open the drinks, the husband unknowingly grabbed the Coke bottle filled with Mentos. As soon as he opened it, the fizzy concoction erupted, splashing all over him.
In the video, the wife could be seen bursting into laughter as her husband stood in shock, drenched and defeated. Social media users quickly picked up on the moment, praising the wife’s quick thinking and turning the failed prank into a lesson in how not to mess with your partner.
The humorous clip has since gone viral across platforms, with many couples relating to the playful back-and-forth.
While the prank didn’t go as the husband had hoped, it did spark laughter and plenty of reactions online, proving once again that in the world of love and pranks, payback is always just one step away.
Take a look at the funny video below:
Why pranks and amusement in a relationship
While speaking to Briefly News, certified relationship therapist Paula Quinsee shared the importance of pranks and amusement in a relationship by saying:
"Pranks and amusement play a significant role in fostering a healthy and fulfilling partnership. They inject humour, playfulness, and creativity, can help to reduce stress and strengthen bonding. By embracing lighthearted moments, couples can reignite the spark, build trust, and create lasting memories, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and joyful relationship. Playfulness nurtures love."
