Shocking gum

Shocking gum is a practical joke that gives a harmless electric shock to the target. The target pulls a piece of gum which is pulled out a little in a 5 gumstick box. The shock does not harm the target but it annoys them. A few novelty companies in the 1950s produced these 'Shocking gum' packages. The most popular brands of Shocking Gum are Fruit Juicy and JB.
