Wait… That Was OUR Fake Ultrasound on TV?
Every once in a while, we get a message that starts like this:
“Hey… I think I just saw your product on TV.”
And every time, we think—no way.
And then… yep. There it is.
Over the years, fake ultrasound prints, fake pregnancy tests, and all kinds of prank props have quietly made their way into some pretty big places. Not just group chats and messy relationship stories—but actual TV shows, news segments, and yes… even Dr. Phil.
Let’s start there.
The Dr. Phil Moment 😬
One of the wildest stories we’ve ever heard came from a customer who used a fake ultrasound as a prank on her boyfriend.
You already know where this is going.
They believed it.
Like… fully believed it.
What was supposed to be a quick “gotcha” turned into real emotions, real conversations, and a situation that spiraled fast. Friends got involved. Family got pulled in. And somehow—because life is weird—that whole situation ended up on Dr. Phil.
Suddenly, this little novelty prop was sitting under studio lights while people argued about trust, honesty.
Then It Kept Happening…
That wasn’t a one-off.
Turns out, once something looks real enough to fool someone for even a few seconds, it tends to get used in places where reactions matter.
Like TV.
Like Young Sheldon.
Yes—that Young Sheldon.
A fake pregnancy test popped up as part of a storyline, and we had that same moment again:
“Wait… hold on… that looks really familiar.”
Because here’s the thing—on TV, they need props that read instantly. No explanation. No second guessing. The audience has to get it in one glance.
That’s exactly what these kinds of novelty items are built for.
News, Too… Because Why Not
Then there was Inside Edition.
And yes, even The Washington Post.
What started as simple prank products somehow became part of conversations about relationships, viral trends, and the weird things people do to get a reaction.
Why This Stuff Keeps Showing Up
Honestly, it comes down to one thing: reaction.
A fake ultrasound or a fake positive pregnancy test hits instantly.
No setup needed.
You hand it to someone, and for a split second, it’s real to them.
That moment—right before their brain catches up—is where all the emotion lives.
That’s gold for pranks.
And apparently, it’s gold for TV producers too.
The Part Nobody Plans For
Most people use these for laughs with friends.
A quick prank. A funny video. Something to post and forget.
But every now and then, it turns into something bigger.
A viral moment.
A relationship story.
Or, if you’re really going for it… a daytime TV appearance.

Just remember—there’s a big difference between a funny moment…
…and explaining yourself on national television.
Choose wisely. 😄
