Shocking Duel
Novelty duel toy
Shocking Duel is a pain-endurance duel toy in which two players each grip one handle of a connected pair, and an electric shock passes between the handles at gradually increasing intensity as play continues. The first player to release their grip loses the match, so the contest is essentially a test of pain tolerance and willpower rather than of skill. Wikipedia categorizes it among 2000s-era novelty toys. Little is recorded about its manufacture; the article's only production detail is a safety warning attributed to Paladone Products Ltd, which may indicate a connection to the toy's production, though the article does not confirm this directly.
