College Students Trying To Vape With A Wii Remote Will Make You Fear For Our Future

There’s an episode of Freaks and Geeks in which Lindsay Weir, desperate for popularity, throws a kegger while her parents are out of town. In an effort to contain the situation, her younger brother and his friends replace the actual keg with a keg of non-alcoholic beer. Everyone at the party, totally oblivious to the switcheroo, becomes convinced that they’re getting drunk.

I’ve always been a bit dubious about this premise and the power of suggestion, but I may have just seen some video evidence to indicate that this sort of party prank could actually … work?

Anna Greenwood, a student at Central Michigan University, recently decided to up the ante on her partying enjoyment by bringing a Wii remote into a frat party and convincing other partygoers that it was a vape pen.

If you were curious about what the placebo effect looks like when people think they’re smoking weed, then your curiosity officially ends here.

Wow, what a wholesome, fun activity for the entire party! I wouldn’t be surprised if sucking on remotes becomes the new millennial preoccupation (like biting into Tide Pods).

Obviously, Twitter was pretty entertained by Anna’s deceptiveness, and couldn’t help but cringe on behalf of the participants.
