I never saw the attraction myself of the glue myself, but there was a small fad of putting straight pins through the top layer of skin on your finger.

Did that. How about harnessing flies with human hair? {glue eater but never minty}

Must have been a big fad. It made it up to Maine, where I grew up.

We also took it a step further. We would take the straight pin and place it into the crook of our elbow with our arm extended, and then fold our arm up so the pin would poke into the loose folds of skin in the elbow. If you did it right, it looked like you were stabbing yourself bad with the pin, but the skin was all loose so it didn't actually puncture the skin.

We were stupid kids.

We would also lick the terminals of a fresh 9 volt battery. Somehow this happened to come up at a party a couple of years ago. A battery was found and passed around. It was amusing to see the reaction of the 9 volt battery virgins.
