One might stumble upon cash, coins, jewelry?lying on the streets or lying unattended at a mall. Then there are those careless people who might lose their Apple AirPods while traveling. One can¡¯t even blame them, it is easier to lose AirPods than earphones because the latter have wire.?
Even though losing AirPods sounds like a big possibility, it is not everyday that people come across?lawaris?AirPods lying on the road. But one day, hundreds of people in San Francisco found AirPods just lying on the streets and stairs.?
?
But the catch was that the AirPods were not real. They were life-sized stickers of the actual item.??
Art director Pablo Rochat decided to prank hundreds of people by strategically placing life-sized AirPods at various places in San Francisco. Not only did he stick these 2D AirPods randomly on streets, he even recorded people trying to pick those up. The video is now viral.?
Pablo Rochat tweeted, ¡®I made life-size AirPod stickers and stuck them on the ground, all over the city¡¯.?
In the video one can see, a man gets down to pick up the AirPod only to realize it's fake. Another man tries the same, and amused by the ingenuity, stops to take a video of it.?
Pablo said that people were free to print their own AirPod stickers from his website. It raised mixed responses from the social media users. To some the prank seemed cruel while others lauded the creativity.?

One user wrote, ¡®This is as good as that guy who prints up fake wall outlets and puts them all over the airport terminals. LOL.¡¯
While another user wrote, ¡®God bless you for the good work, son. We really need more people like you on this planet!¡¯
I feel bad for those who fell for the genius prank.?
