We put party popper charges in a pepper pot once
Someone banged it on the table when they couldn't get any pepper out and they nearly choked to death and couldn't see for about half an hour.
I also went through a phase of swapping the paper stuff in party poppers for foodstuffs. Horseradish sauce was particularly good and it looked like spunk when it landed on someone's dinner jacket.

Yes
When I graduated and moved somewhere new I spent ages trying to find out if there were any cycling clubs in the area. Google didn't come up with anything, however I saw someone spamming Facebook with something about a new mountain biking club they were setting up.
I took a look and signed up for the website. There wasn't much happening apart from people trying to arrange to go (bike) riding with other people.
I put my name down for the next ride they organised - up and down Snowdon. Work colleagues spent the next week or two asking if I was taking protection or any bum lube seeing as I was meeting up with random men off the internet.
They turned out to be a really good lot and I still go out (bike) riding with most of them 4 years on.
After joining I found out they had been advertising in the mens toilets as well as on Facebook...

Licking a 9v battery is pretty funky on your tongue.
Doing the same with a 16V, 5A 1950s (or thereabouts) Meccano transformer isn't so good.
