Shocking: Pocket Lightning Reaction January 16, 2008

While the purpose of drinking a lot of alcohol is not necessarily to do stupid things, it is a guaranteed side effect.
Which is why next time your judgement is lacking, you may find yourself holding on to this odd little device: the Pocket Lightning Reaction. You can probably guess where this is going.
Each player grabs an end of the devilish device, then you push a button in the middle and listen to the music play. However as soon as the green light lights up and the music stops, you have to press your trigger button ASAP. If the other idiot does it first you get a nasty electric shock. You can see why this would be less fun sober. That’s probably why the makers say:
“Play with alcohol for best effect. Wicked!”
Shocking, maybe, but at just £10.50 here, it’s a cheap way of electrocuting your mates.-Martin Lynch

We had a similar product (http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/lightning-reaction-extreme-fantastic-brand-new-electric-shock-game.html) at work and ended up swapping the 3 AAA batteries for a couple of 9Volters. Made it a whole new level of shocking but unfortunately fried a couple of the components inside!
Still was fun while it lasted!
Probably more fun watching people drunk gettin electrocuted than being the drunk being electrocuted. LOL..
Ahh well, looks like a laf.
