Chewing Gum Bug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Chewing Gum Bug is a practical joke gag used to play tricks on people, usually adults. The appearance is of a 5-pack of chewing gum, however the last stick appears to have remained in the pack. The trick works when the prankster tricks the victim into pulling out the last stick of gum. A small rubber bug, (folded back to fit in the pack), springs out and smacks the victim on the finger he or she used to hold the fake stick of chewing gum. It does not hurt or injure the victim, however it potentially is able to annoy the victim. Some variants deliver a mild electric shock, or set off a cap.
