The other night while taking a test in class I came up with a good idea for cheating. First, carefully peel the wrapper off a 20oz Coke bottle. Scan the label into your computer. Using Photoshop, remove the ingredients and replace that text with whatever cheatsheet you need for your test. I’m pretty sure you could get quite a bit of writing unnoticed on there, and even teachers who ask you to clear your desk of books and papers will probably let you leave a Coke on your desk.
I haven’t actually tried this (don’t need to), but if you try it I want a picture of the bottle.
America ingenuity at its best!
What are you going to say to your son if he gets caught using some of his dad’s plans for cheating someday?
Good one, Rob, ingenious! However, I’ve really never understood the concept of cheating. I’ve never done it, nor had to; I usually always got straight A’s. My thinking has always been, if you’re going to the trouble to think of an elaborate way to cheat, why not instead just focus that time and energy into actually studying for the test? It never occurred to me to cheat.
However, your idea is cool and clever, and if the test were all about what the ingredients and nutrition facts of Coke were, then you wouldn’t even need to change the label at all.
Ugh, what a terrible thing to be promoting. Only losers cheat.
