Article: Joke pregnancy tests are the best option because they give you a false positive every time. To use the test, bring it into the bathroom and urinate on it like a real test. Wait for the result, then show it to the person you're pranking. You can find fake pregnancy tests online or at a local joke shop. Make sure you read and follow the directions for the test you buy so that it works correctly. Some ingredients used to make sodas mimic pregnancy hormones, so they can give a false positive on a pregnancy test. Bring a soda with you into the bathroom when you go to take the test. Then, dip the test into the soda instead of urinating on it. Hide the soda before opening the bathroom door. Since you may be asked to take a second test to confirm your pregnancy, hide an extra soda in the bathroom in case you need it. Put it somewhere others are unlikely to look, like inside your makeup kit or a box of tampons. Most pregnancy tests have a separate piece of plastic for the front and back side. Use a thin piece of metal, like a pair of tweezers or a metal nail file, to pry the front off of the pregnancy test. Then, use a marker that's close to the same color as the test results to draw in a line to create a positive result. Next, dab some water onto the test to make it look like you peed on it and put the test back together. A light pink marker will be your best option. The results may look better if you draw on all of the lines. This also eliminates the need for you to actually pee on the test. In addition to making the test look used, wetting it also helps fade the marker so it looks more real. Most pregnancy tests only produce accurate results for a few minutes. After that point, the urine starts to evaporate from the pad, making the lines look darker. This often creates a false positive. Use this to your advantage by taking your test at least an hour in advance. Once the result looks like a positive, bring it into the bathroom and pretend to take it. This may not always work, but it's a common cause of false positives on pregnancy tests. An expired pregnancy test can also give a false positive, but finding 1 might be tricky. Ask your friends if they have an old pregnancy test that they could give you, or check a site like eBay to see if someone is selling an old test. You might also find 1 at a discount dollar or thrift store. The expiration date is printed on the pregnancy test box. This may not work every time, but it's common for expired tests to give a false positive. Although this is a little icky, it will guarantee that you get a positive test result. Ask your pregnant friend to pee into an airtight container, like a jar. Then, bring the sample into your bathroom when you take the test so you can dip the test into the collected urine. Be careful that you don't get urine on yourself. You may be able to use the same sample to fake multiple tests.
