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.
