      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.

          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…
