Toy Tazer is Not What it Seemed.

The Shock Tazer Toy on my desk

In my previous post about the shock toy Tazer, I made a point that I thought a toy that you could go around shocking people with was inaproppriate. It seemed from the description on Gozmodo and other sites that you pressed it against someone and they received a shock.
Well, I decided to order the Shock Tazer and it arrived yesterday.
I was in for a shock. Literally.
The shock toy tazer does not shock people at the tips of the toy as a real Tazer does. Instead it’s a trick. The person that pushes the button is the one that gets the shock. Just like dozens of other shock toys on the market.
Yes, I found this out the hard way. I opened it up and my first though was "I wonder if there are batteries in it already". There were. I pressed the button thinking I might tap the contacts to see if I got a quick shock. But pressing the button is what gives you the shock. I got zapped.
Last evening I left the Shock Tazer toy on the kitchen table and my 18 year old son apparently tried it too. He didn’t tell me about it until much later.
Now, the next question I have about the shocking toy tazer is "How on earth do they sell this thing for $3.50, ship it free from China, and even include batteries?"
Incidentally, Tazers don’t work this way. They shoot out darts with wire leads on them. The better term would be "stun gun".
The shock toy is available at Focalprice for $3.40 with free shipping.

You should sell these! It would be awesome.
Jokes are sort of toys, aren’t they?
I just looked at the site. It says “Ideal joke and monster toy”. I get the joke but what is a “monster toy?” Is the toy a monster? Or do they mean it’s for your monster?
As in… “I got a toy here for the little monster”
