At one point she loses it in a sewer, finds it again, and sticks it back in her mouth. It eventually ends up in Nick's mouth and he spits it onto the back of Randy's neck.

Nick...is too busy missing Tris to notice.
Nick and Norah spend most of the night together, alone and with friends, in search of a secret concert by a legendary indie band. What happens along the way could change the lives and perspectives of them both, forever.
The movie is remarkable for a quirky soundtrack comprised mostly of indie rock and several interesting side characters. In addition to Nick and Norah, we meet the other members of The Jerk Offs (Thom and Dev), Nick's ex Tris, Norah's best friend Caroline, and Beefy Guy.
