Ah, remember the days of eternal fun when you were 14 and realised you could break open electric lighters and zap your mates with them? Well now you’ve grown up, you need this! An electronic shock car key.

It is the old classic prank – zapping someone with an electronic shock. And now it comes in handy car key format, from Play with their Electric Shock Car Key.
I tried it out on a mate (after asking him to dash back to the van and get my newspaper – i’m not sure why he agreed to go out of his way to do this, but anyway…), threw him the keys and waited. And it was worth it! But for purposes of being a good reviewer, I nominated myself to be zapped too.

And suprisingly in this day and age where anything that can cause any kind of damage is banned, it ****ing hurt!

Of course, it does have some warnings on the product page of Play.com:

• Please Note: This product may interfere with electrical devices such as pacemakers
• Do not use if you suffer from epilepsy or similar related illnesses
• Keep out of reach of children
• Suitable for ages 14+

Notice the last one? That was incase you thought it was a prank prank key. Or something. Go buy it here for under 4 quid.
