Pranksters slip the ring over their fingers and wear the buzzer in their palms. A friendly handshake gives their victims a little shock!
— Unlike the original joy buzzer that had sharp edges, current buzzers are round-edged and harmless, says Mark Newgarden, designer of the Garbage Pail Kids.
— The product’s popularity in the ‘50s sparked competition from foreign knock-offs. Joke mogul Soren S.Adams’ grandson later redesigned their buzzer to be better and cheaper to produce, says Newgarden.
— Josh Banke, shipping manager at Finnegan’s Toy Store in Portland, Ore., says that joy buzzers are one of the items he has to order most often.
