Feel your teeth tingle. Sense the crackling tang on your tongue. Experience oral excitement as each chew generates caressing currents of Lilliputian lightning.
Juicy Jaws’ secret is tiny piezoelectric crystals embedded in a porous, natural latex gum. As the gum is massaged and bathed in saliva,
flavor is released and prickling power is produced and conducted from the captive crystals. Our slightly shocking savors include Power Mint, Battery Banana, Chocolate Shock, Vanilla Volts and Kilowatt Kiwi.

Swallow at your own risk. |

Not another bloody piezoelectric idea - you know better than this, FJ. Much easier (and less magic) to get a current going with sundry non-toxic chemicals. Ever felt that slight electric tang after scraping the yoghurt off the metallic lid of a yoghurt pot with a metal spoon? |
|
| |
You could just crunch Polos in the dark in front of a mirror and watch the sparks. |
|
| |
[DC] I wouldn't knock a workable piezo idea outright, which this just might be. |
|
| |
I used to munch on aluminum foil when I was snarfy boy just to watch the reaction I got from my Dad. That was before I had any fillings. Makes me cringe thinking about it now. |
|

When you blow a bubble, will there be plasma patterns playing across its surface? |
|
| |
I doubt that this could be bubblegum. It's more like chewing on a soft eraser. |
|
| |
...Then again, it might be a way to take care of colon polyps. |
|
| |
Oh geez, another thing to worry about: punctuation cancer. |
|
| |
Not intended for use by those with pacemakers.. |

| |
Don't mind the doc, he's forgot his Prozac again. |
|
| |
So they have a simaraty (not the best speller) to pop rocks? |
|
| |
//simaraty//
I like that one! Mind if I use it? |
|
| |
Pop Rocks is a different monster, though some flavors may flash. But FJ's idea is to generate an electrical current. In your mouth. |
|
| |
On an unrelated topic, you can test a 9-volt battery by sticking the terminals to your tongue. The "flavor" is almost unbearable if the battery's charged properly. Warning: If it has any leaky chemicals, you'll have huge problems if you put it in your mouth.
I taste-test small power adapters this way, too. It hasn't affected me. The spiders are attacking! |

//Ohmful orange// How about Wattermelon?
Heh! Bun for you! |
|
| |
What is piezo-electricity. Was snarfyguy ever snarfyboy [the cat picturing a "tinytoon" version of the snarf] |
|
| |
No, he used to be snarfygirl, before the operation... |
|
| |
I think those 2900 yearly might be saved by this gum. With this, there is now no need to chew 9v batteries. |
|
| |
Hey! What about my doctor / patient confidentiality, Curry?! I have a good mind to report you, you quack! |
|
| |
Nice job, though; looks really natural. :) |
