    We used to just throw them in the air, unsure what the point is of the nose part :) Posted 5 years ago

    Under your nose like a mustache? Never did that... we did throw them up in the air to see them come back down though... and we would stick cicada shells to our shirts like a piece of jewelry. Posted 5 years ago

      On top of your nose. You split open the seed part, which is sticky inside. Then, you press it down on top of your nose. Am I the only one who has done this? I thought it was a thing ;P.
