Are you looking to play a practical joke on someone but don’t quite know what to do to really make a statement?

We might just be able to help.

A couple of weeks ago, a reporter received a mysterious envelope in the mail. It had no return address and the post mark was from somewhere in Florida. The reporter opened the envelope and found a pickle. That’s right, a pickle.

Thanks to an anonymously self-proclaimed pickle wizard, anyone can cause a friend — or frenemy — to scratch their heads.

According to the pickle delivery’s website, www.picklewizard.com, the process is fairly simple and pretty affordable ($5.99 per pickle message).

It’s a quick four-step process, and before you know it, your college student, crazy uncle Bob or friend recouping from surgery, could be smiling after they receive a pickle.

Here’s how it works: Step 1: Decide who you’d like to anonymously mail a pickle to. It can be anyone of your choice.

Step 2: Click “Buy Now” (using Paypal), and fill in the mailing address of the person who soon with receive one of the most memorable letters ever.

Step 3: The Wizard puts a pickle in an envelope with a handwritten, mystifying message and sends it off. You can create your own message by writing it in the comments section of Paypal.

Step 4: Sit back and wait. Will you be suspected of sending the pickle? If it’s a friend or family member, you might just get a phone call with some weird and crazy news. Act surprised.

The website reports more than 520 pickles have been sent and that The Wizard has a “barbaric amount” of pickles in the fridge waiting to be set free.

The pickles are not for consumption and do come attached with a note that indicates that.

Happy pickle sending.
