Burn Yourself with Big Red Gum

This is a neat trick that will cause severe pain, and a red mark. You don't really need much for this, a stick of Big Red, some saliva, and a high tolerance to pain.
You'll need:
-A stick of Big Red Brand chewing gum
-The wrapper from the gum

Step 1 Unwrap the gum

Very easy, simply unfold the tabs on the wrapper and remove the stick of gum

OWWW!!! this hurts,bad. or maybe its because i put chili pepper powder in the gum?

lol

[seabananers]

*hehehe i love pain* seriously thats what the pic looks like

[seabananers]

but dont judge me

[carpfluff]

too late. i ate the wrapper. =(

[seabananers]

same here

[seabananers]

do you lick the whole wrapper or just enough to get it to stick?

[seabananers]

only ude this on your self if your a knifless EMO :"(

[nightninja87]

i remember this my friend did it had a big red mark for the first period or two of school the teacher didnt know what to say when he found the reason one of his students had a red mark on his forehead big red = .35 cents look on teachers face = priceless

[Glockenator]

And you discovered this how exactly?

[mintybreath]

I have trouble with this step. Every time when I try to unfold the wrapper the gum falls on the bathroom floor. What do I do? Should I fashion a netting system out of toilet paper? That way after it falls, if I'm lucky, the gum will land safely in the netting system. You should really have been more descriptive with your instructions.

[carpfluff]

i think you need some help.

[AlternateLives]

Why is this an issue?

[GreenDay]

The netting system could work, but in the long run it might hurt you. My theory is that if you're stupid enough to not open a peice of gum, you'll forget to take it off your forehead and get a serious chemical burn and come sue me. So you're responsible for your own fate.

[BackyardModder]

does this work with any gum?

[everywhere]

 could you also use a winter fresh wrapper or would it do the opposite?

[Bridel568]

hey some of my friends did this with 5 wrappers. and one of them put the wrapper on his stomach

[Colonel88]

Pink belly?

[Bridel568]

yea and i guess that it hurt him too

[fearme36]

AHH! Migraine!! (spelling?)

[bassclarinet23]

I've seen this done before....does it work with mint, or just cinnamon?

[daninja]

I used to do this. But Don't you have to take the wrapper OFF your forehead before it burns?

[thescroll]

Ive had trouble at this step. Whenever i try to seperate the two sides of the wrapper, it seems to tear, and the gum pulls the paper towards itself. Can you explain a more in depth way of opening the wrapper?

[GreenDay]

You're going to need my $300 gum upgrade kit I'm afraid. But seriously you need a new pack of gum. Try switching places that you got it at as well. You're gum has gotten either too hot or moist from the sound of it.

[Th3Snip3r]

Ive done this trick before. me and a few kids at school were doing it. burns doesnt it!

[skwurul]

Nice expression in the last picture.

Regarding that ice trick.... When Salt is added to water with Ice blocks, it cools rapidly and the more salt you add, it cools it even more, but when you get like a 1:2 ratio of Icy Water and Salt it changes all together, the salt melts the Ice and rapidly returns the water to a more stable temperature (Around, 15oC). That's why the sea never Freezes, if the ocean had no salt, it would be a sudden Ice Age.

[el greeno]

Hence the north pole melting being a major pain in the arse. Sea salination levels are dropping. This also slows the mid atlantic stream which makes winters in the northern hemisphere colder. Global warming will actually result in an ice age.

[ohsballer10]

we just did that in my junior english class just to test it out! hahahaha. :]

[spud00701]

nice one lol

[harry_osullivan]

don't do it to your eyeballs, that was not a clever idea of mine....ow :(

[chocolate_zombie]

it would hurt like hell, trust me. same thing happens if you mix chili powder into someone's hand lotion... bad idea. bloody funny until they figure out you did it, though. and you have to use a LOT of chili powder.

[the_mad_man]

now the step after they find out you did it is *drum roll* run like hell

[AnarchistAsian]

wow, this isn't painful at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously, all this does is make you look stupid...

[GreenDay]

Well it works for everyone else, so maybe you're doing something wrong. The entire point of this is to make someone look stupid so I win there.

[AnarchistAsian]

well, you got me there... it's still not painful though...

[twistedstaples]

I know I'm late to the party, but if anyone's wondering, I'm pretty sure the reason that you need to chew the gum first is because the heat from the gum acts similarly to when you eat chile (chili for you whiter-than-me folk out there). It gets pain receptors to activate in your mouth, and you begin to perspire (sweat), then when you lick the wrapper and place it on your forehead, it lets the leftover shaken off dust from the stick of gum migrate into the pores on your skin, which also have nerve endings that can feel irritation. I'm not sure on this, but I think when you do this trick, you're giving yourself an extremely mild acid burn because I'm guessing the acidity from your saliva mixed with the dust which could probably be acidic when mixed with a liquid that's either an acid or not a strong enough base to neutralize the acid, creates a solution capable of skin (or eye) irritation. I think cinnamon flavored gum is, in a sense, almost a masochistic practice because people buy sticks of gum to put themselves through pain (yes, it's pain no matter how manly you are, it's just that your nerve receptors might be a bit more used to the feeling so you wouldn't think of it as being as intense). But that's just some thoughts from the top of my head. :D

[shammallamaman]

i didn't chew the gum and it still worked
