Blast Gum

“What’s that you’re chewing, little girl?”
“SEMTEX.”
== Blast Gum ==
Blast Gum is simply a very malleable form of plastic explosive that is favored by the Lollipoppers for sabotage and their more explosive pranks. It is colored and scented to look and smell like chewing gum (though it tastes AWFUL to humans and organic beings, and cannot be safely digested), and can be safely mechanically masticated (by a dry mouth) without either losing its explosive properties or prematurely detonating. Lollipoppers love to chew the stuff, then stick a wad of it someplace, insert a detonator (typically a false tooth, or piece from, or hidden in, a charm bracelet), then vamoose to a safe distance before the stuff goes off. 
Though the blast effect from the relatively small amounts in a gum-wad is relatively contained, Lollipoppers have become expert in placing their wads where they can do the most damage, regularly booby-trapping seats, desks, control consoles, conduits, vehicle parts and equipment cabinets. Rumors of the decimation of a video-theater, popular with Kydians and Kittani in Splugorth London, courtesy of explosives planted under audience seats, remain unsubstantiated. 
Blast Gum comes in both SDC and megadamage (MD) ‘flavors’ and is molded in 1.9 and 2.8 gram sticks, though it is possible for a Kildren to mouth up to six sticks, or use a dry pack (typically 10-12 sticks) as a single charge.
