People have tried it on me in primary school, but I've felt nothing. I thought the joke was they were holding the gum really hard.
I am become Pricks, destroyer of trust.
What are these?
they're basically tiny mouse traps so when you grab the gum it snaps on your fingers and causes a little sting.
Those are a thing too, but the shock gum actually spins a little motor to vibrate the stick of "gum" to make it feel like you're being shocked.
Apparently y'all got lucky. The ones used on me had a plastic roach attached to the end of it. Made it look and feel like one of the bastards had jumped on my finger.
Oh, it's not a real (albeit miniscule) shock? Disappointing.
There are ones that give you a damn good shock. A market vendor in Thailand used one on me. I'm surprised the dude only got his shit rocked once during my stay, doing that prank on drunk dudes
I have a shocking pen! It actually gives an electric shock. Makes your hand feel like it’s numb and vibrating. I got it like 25 years ago when I was still in school, and nobody would fall for it.
When my partner and I started dating, I was cleaning old boxes of my stuff from forever ago and found it. I was like “here, click this pen” FULLY expecting them to be incredulous and not do it. NOPE, they snatched it from my hands and clicked it IMMEDIATELY, then letting out a loud yelp and looking at me with scorn, then playful anger. “I didn’t think you’d actually DO IT!” I said…
My brother got me one of these for my last birthday and we've had a stupid amount of fun with it!
Mine is letting people borrow my pen and not getting it back. =\
I want my Wrigleys back :(
That, and firecrackers
