YouTube prankster Blake Grigsby rigged together some PVC pipe and a backpack to create a floating sprig of mistletoe that conveniently hung above his head as he walked through the streets of Chicago. It wasn't long before dozens of women of all ages, and even a few men, began approaching the DePaul University for holiday smooches.



Grigsby says he received over 60 kisses in the five hours he was wearing his contraption.
