How do I trigger the Drop event with jQuery UI Droppable without actually dragging and dropping?

Question

I have a droppable with a drop event handler:

$(this).droppable({
  drop:function(){
    console.log(\'OMG You Dropped It!\');
  }
});

As pointed by StuperUser and based on ajmurmann's answer, with the recent versions of jQuery you should do:

$("#droppable").droppable({
    drop: function(event, ui) {
        do stuff }
});
var drop_function = $("#droppable").droppable('option', 'drop');
drop_function();
