A British man was left baring nearly everything at a hotel pool in Ibiza after his friends gifted him a pair of dissolving swim trunks as a prank.

Lee Kenny was taking a dip while on vacation with his wife and a group of friends when he realized something was terribly wrong with his swimwear.

WARNING: Video contains slightly graphic language, but mostly uproarious laughter.


"My shorts are broke! My shorts are broke!” he says in a video of the incident. As his friend bust out laughing, he asks, “What did you do?”

Once he realizes what’s happening, he wades away and climbs out of the pool to head for cover. Kenny can be seen trying to hold up what little remains of his trunks as he walks toward the hotel. A staff member then runs over and covers him up with a drink tray.

One of Kenny’s friends, Rachael Whittaker, told UNILAD the group had planned the whole thing before their vacation together.


“My husband had heard about some ‘dissolvable swim shorts’ and thought it would be funny to set up our friend,” she said. “Everyone was in on the dissolvable swim shorts secret, except for Lee and his wife. We didn’t want to risk her letting it slip.


Whittaker said her husband had a pair of the shorts from Little Wedding Treasures custom-made with Kenny’s initials and gave them to him as a gift. “Lee took great enjoyment in showing off to the lads how special and important he was for having such great shorts. [He] proudly arrived at the pool…with no idea what was about to happen,” she said.

According to the description, the shorts look and feel “like a normal pair of shorts... but once in the pool a chemical reaction causes dissolving of the item, leaving your pal in a spot of bother in the pool.”

After rushing back to his room to change, Kenny returned to the pool in a different pair of trunks. However his wife joked that he wasn’t safe because they’d used a “spray” on all his swimwear to make them dissolve.

If you’re looking to pull your own prank, you can buy the dissolving swim trunks online for $38.87, which can be “personalized with the victim’s name/initials/nickname or any other wording of your choice.”

Is that what they mean by "free style?"

I despise practical jokes and don't find them funny in any way, shape, or form.

Why would you set out to humiliate a friend, and more importantly, why would a wife set out to deliberately humiliate her husband? I'd kick her ass to the curb.

Sorry for the strong stance (not really). I hate practical jokes.

Those swim shorts dissolved into something...I wonder what it did to the pool's filter.

I agree! If you can't trust your life partner, who can you trust?

If you read the story, the wife wasn't in on it.

Agree completely.

It looks like the fabric is still there. Perhaps it was the stitching that dissolved allowing it to fall into pieces.

My friends and I screw with each other. I don't think any of us would force any of the others to run across a pool with their shorts falling off, but we do plenty of other things all in good fun.

Here's a more tame swimsuit prank. Guy and his girlfriend were going on vacation. He removed her swimsuits from her luggage and replaced them with one that he had custom made with his face on it.

You guys need to lighten up...that was funny as hell. Especially in that setting. Now if it was in the middle of a wedding or funeral I could see your point.

I skimmed it and missed that. But even though she wasn't "in on it", she was still laughing her ass off at him as well.

Adios.

it is Ibiza. who would really care?

It’s Ibiza. Who would even notice someone naked in a pool?

Who wears clothes in Ibiza anyway?

It was funny to me. I couldn't help but laugh along with the people laughing.

You have to know who you're pranking and whether they'll be cool with it or that it wouldn't put them out of joint too much.

I was on a business trip with a woman. She could not stop talking. I just got used to it. One dinner, we went to a habachi place. She was talking with the woman next to her. I was glad for the relief. But in the meantime, I told the waitress it was her birthday. After the meal, they came out with the small birthday cupcake and candle and sang her the happy birthday song. It wasn't her birthday. She was speechless. She wasn't mad; she was just disoriented. Even until we went back to the hotel. That was worth it to me.

I am with you, really fucking funny. I have seen some situations where some practical jokes made the situation get really ugly. No thanks.

I'm with you 100%. Weigh the few minutes of laughing at the victim's expense against the loss of their trust forever, then decide if it's worth it.

Me too. I don't play them, and I don't react well to having them played on me.

To me, that was funny. It boils down to who your target is. If you did that to me, I'd find it hilarious, but I'd pay you back in spades. My brother doesn't (generally) share my (at times) crude and brash sense of humor, so I'd never think of pranking him like that. Different strokes for different folks and all that....

I thought it was funny.

It’s very rare that I play practical-jokes, but I do appreciate a good one done in fun.

My kids and I ‘get each other” from time to time, nothing crazy...but it bonds us and gives us another reason to laugh together.

Put me in the “I don’t like practical jokes” camp.

If someone volunteers to be pranked, fine. If you are in a social group and pranking is a known expectation in said group, great.

Otherwise it’s just another form of bullying, which I detest.
