At school there used to be this stuff which was like blu-tack but pink and they came in little square 'tablets'; I think they were called 'Pritt Buddies' and you used them for putting up posters etc. However, my mates brother told us that they were strength pills. To demonstrate he threw a stone 'as far as he could'. Then he chewed a 'strength pill' and... wow! that went MUCH FURTHER. We started chewing pritt buddy and throwing stones, balls etc all over the place until one of the teachers caught us and sent us to the headmistress...
