Prank company suspends business after getting ton of orders.

Son sends dad spring-loaded glitter bomb

It seems you may have to suspend your evil glitter-bomb prank as Ship Your Enemies Glitter have asked customers to stop placing orders after only a week.

The site has posted a message saying: "Purchasing has been temporarily suspended. You guys have a sick fascination with shipping people glitter. We've received all orders & working through them. There was a ton so be patient."

In the meantime, you can view how much hell it releases from the video below.

It shows a spring-loaded glitter tube being opened by someone's dad, who apparently always opens his son's mail.

That'll teach him.

A co-founder of Ship Your Enemies Glitter, Derick Downs, has explained how he started the business.

He said: "I was trying to buy a glitter-bomb for my buddy, but couldn't find a website actually fulfilling orders. After hearing about the thousands of other people in the same situation, I did a little research.

"I sent Matthew Carpenter, founder of Ship Your Enemies Glitter, a message via Linkedin to discuss a possible partnership. We connected, but he didn't seem interested. So I built the platform, created some digital marketing campaigns, and purchased twenty-five pounds of glitter."

On January 15, the Huffington Post said the prank firm got 1.3 million visits and was shared about 300,000 times on Facebook and Twitter within its first 24 hours.
