“Bring back the ball buzzer”?
Comment on Japan hits different

The translations you’re seeing here are inaccurate at best.
電気アンマ does mean electric massage, but it specifically refers to the move being performed on the packaging: pressing one’s foot into someone’s genitals, as a prank. So it’s not just any electric massage.
Also, 復活 does mean resurrection, but once again, it’s unlikely that’s what they meant, in a literal sense. It’s more likely they meant “comeback,” as in bringing back the practice of 電気アンマ.
It’s a meme by タイツくん (Tights-kun). They were selling it on their website, but aren’t anymore, and the flavour is black pepper and salt with bamboo charcoal. I can’t read the last kanji very well, but I’m trusting this Reddit post’s reading. It does seem to check out, but the resolution is awful.

Is that a common prank? What would be an appropriate scenario for it to happen?

No clue! This post was the first time I’ve ever heard of this electric massage thing.
Maybe it’s the sort of stuff that happens to the first person to fall asleep at a sleepover or something. Just a guess.

Thanks, I’m guessing what you posted is pretty much right on

Yeah.
That screenshot has some errors on point 2 and 3, by the way.
It doesn’t say シリーズ (series), it says ドリトス (Doritos). So it’s タイツくん〇〇大人のドリトス (Tights-kun Adult Doritos), with the middle part being cut off and unreadable. I did some more research on this and figured out what it says.
It doesn’t say 刺激入り (with a kick). I can’t read the 2^nd^ kanji on the packaging, but the first one is definitely not 刺. The Reddit post I linked in the original reply seems to think it says 竹炭入り (bamboo charcoal inside), which upon further research I can confirm is correct, according to the website, even though the 2^nd^ kanji is basically unreadable on that image.
As a fun fact, in the top left it says 励行のこと in the little rectangle, which refers to doing something diligently. On the website, this particular image is accompanied by the text “Don’t we have any other way to motivate our workers?”
Where did you get that screenshot by the way? Seems like a really cool tool. Is that ChatGPT?

Ahaha!!
Yeah we spent a ton of energy on that analysis but am necessarily so curious about the state of the art (I’mma tech person) and this was a suitable test case. UC Berkeley/others’s got a project

with SotA available free (but all data hoovered for research)

My other big test was right when it came out after reporting about scary good image analysis, on something where I had a legitimate question. tl;dr take pic of scene IRL, remove EXIF, hop on VPN, and upload to ^ & see if its response/analysis feels creepy or reverse image search is just as good or what
