I Swallow.
34% Normal
105 Comments

HA. I figure this will catch some attention.

Actually what I mean is I swallow all kinds of food whole, such as: popcorn, jelly beans, skittles, goldfish crackers, blueberries, peanuts, butter beans, gum, nerd candies, and banana peppers. I just like the way it feels, so anybody think this is normal?
Do you think it's normal?

LMAO. butter beans are like lima beans, but they taste better. I'm sorry I got mad at you a few days ago about some bullshit that i don't even remember what it was about, you're pretty cool man.

The banana peppers I eat are the sliced ones, like they have at my job. I steal them all the time, hehe. The popcorn has to be kind of round in order for me to swallow it. I know I'm cooky.

i had a friend, 28 years old died 2 years ago from choking to death. he was showing off to his buddies at work how fast he could eat by basically swallowing his food whole.

I only swallow small things. I'm sorry about your friend.

Thank you.

I think you are a really good person-I've read your posts and comments for many months now- and I would hate to see something stupid happen to you.

lots of people don't realize how easy it is to choke to death, even on small items. they don't realize how fast you can die, and how the Heimlich maneuver often fails to save the victim or else can't be performed properly.

I could go into the details of my friend's death, but I'll spare you the details. I'll just say that it made me aware of facts about choking that i didn't know before.

That's my sermon. Now just leave a donation in the little metal cup on your way out.

All I can say is: Ouch! to some of those like the Goldfish crackers and Banana Peppers! LoL. Sounds like it hurts and it's dangerous. Ehh I wouldn't advise doing it lol..but whatever works for you I guess :P

violent10dency
Nope doesn't hurt at all. The goldfish have to be puffy though, and not flat. The banana peppers are rings so they don't hurt either.

Oh lol. I thought you meant swallowing the banana peppers WHOLE. I'm like holy shit, tough woman you are! :P

Now try swallowing rings of habanero peppers, hahaha :)

HELL NO!!! haha. yea I ate a habanero once in middle school at lunch, this kid dared me to eat one. I remember beating my hands on the table for 30 minutes, it was awful, and the burning lasted all day.
Comment Hidden (show)
Barnum
Aww that had to of sucked! Yeah, I've had an experience with habaneros once before as well. I was a kid, in middle school..so around yer age when you tried a pepper. So yeah, my dad told me sister, my friend and I that habaneros were "not that bad" and "they taste good" LOL. So we're like ok, let's have some! So, he cuts one up, gives one to me, my friend and sister. So, we start eating them and all of a suddenly we looked at each other like "Help, I'm gonna die here!" lol. And we started running around, and eventually made it into the house to look for some water and bread to stop the heat lol. It was ridiculous, the pain lasted for the whole day lol, and the water and bread did like nothing to stop the burning. I think I got the worst of it though, because my dad gave me the tip of the pepper, which, of course, is the worst part lol.

I think the seeds are killer too.
Comment Hidden (show)
to answer your original question it is normal to swallow thing that are small enough hole, but some of the larger items you listed (apart from not knowing what any of them are) i would recomend you take caution when swallowing.

and about the habaneros peppers (i have no idea what they are, from australia here), but with all peppers the seeds sectrete a chemical that reacts with the receptors on the tounge and throat and indicates heat (thus the burning sensation, drinking milk is best cure)
Comment Hidden (show)
Barnum
Yeah, the seeds and the tip are probably the worst.

I guess I can see the rest being normal but doesn't swallowing popcorn hurt sometimes? lol.

sexeh, lol. once, i took one of those long skinny noodles, held one end, swallowed the other, then pulled it back out, it felt weird O_o

Actually thid can have harmfull effects over time Chewing it the start of the digestive process so swallowing things whole will over time damage you stomach and lead to ulcers or tears in your intestines

I think Pooltoy is onto something. I think you should take up his offer and film yourself doing this. I want to see what you said is true, if you really do swallow these things whole....

I don't even have a digital cam, I don't know how to film myself. LOL. It's not that impressive, other people have swallowed bigger and worse I'm sure.

It would be kind of funny if I pretended to choke, and then got up off the floor at the end and said "just kidding!" dont you think?
Comment Hidden (show)
Haha, sure, just try to not actually choke. Though if it was on youtube I highly doubt anyone would believe that you really did choke and die. Because I don't think you can show people dying on youtube, I could be wrong.

I don't chew pasta. It feels stupid. I mean it's aready soft and it's so easy to suck in and swallow it whole. Only problem is I have bite the end of it or I will gag (or choke) on it. Be carful have swallowed jolly ranchers (and jewery beads) before and had to cough them up or I could of choked. It's normal as far as I'm conserned.

Well don't swallow lollipops(lol) because from my personal experience I accidentally swallowed one and literally choked MY life for 30 to 40 Seconds. I panicked made things worse and i try to drink water it choked me even more. After went threw throat pain for 2 weeks before it healed 100%%. if u have Death Wish ya go on GOOD LUCK>>>

I think Freud would have something to say about this. Since you brought it up maybe you have a repressed desire to swallow the other. Just a thought

ur pretty weird. just be careful cus it can be dangerous. Always have someone near you at all times to give you the himlich. But they have to be couragous because some people, when it comes down to it, are too emberassed to give others the himlich because it looks funny.

Try swallowing a hard boiled egg whole.

normal, as long as you don't eat your own finger. recently in my country there's a child who loves to eat her own finger, until no one left! Ow yuck.. i feel pity for that girl.

I do believe I've seen you somewhere else before. I have to keep an eye on you now. I must be sure of this before I jump to a conclusion.

Anyways,
Unusual? Yes.
Normal? Also yes.
Comment Hidden (show)
Hm, well personally when i accidently swallow food whole, i get this pain in my stomach where i have to throw it up or it will keep hurting. But for you, I don't think it's normal. Your stomach needs to digest little by little. When you're swallowing foods whole, you are just tearing up your stomach. And the things that your stomach digest, eventually end up in a little sack in your stomach(forgive me, I forgot what it was called) and when it gets too big, it will eventually explode causing severe pain and forcing you to get an Appendicectomy which is when you have to get your Appendix removed. And yes, it is very fatal. Do I think this is normal? Hm, in some ways, yes. Other ways, no. Maybe you should see a doctor for more info.

Waaay back at the beggining of this post he said he ate some habanera peppers or whatever theyre called...I won a £20 bet by eating 3 jalepeno peppers then having a drink for 5 minutes. I can tell you one thing, i was slamming arms and head on the table because everyone around me was tuanting me with cola or sprite...worth it...
Comment Hidden (show)
Chewing your food is a very important part of the digestive system.

You skipping this could cause your body some struggle to break down this food, so you will lose some overall body energy. Which is okay If you get proper sleep.

BUT heres the catch. It could also make your poopy not whole, and hurt. Do NOT swallow Corn, or Sunflower seeds whole.
Comment Hidden (show)
Well it is normal when your young.

I'm sure everyone remember pretty much swallowing their baked beans instead of chewing.

So yes it's normal.

Just don't choke :).

if you really dig the swallowing thing, i suggest you find a mentor for some guidance and training. idk where you are, but i'm sure you can find a couple of freak show folks that swallow light bulbs and knives and such. it's a dying art and they'd prbly love to talk to you. i've seen some crazy great tricks. but please know there can be serious consequences! after i say that, "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME"!

Thanks, but no I don't think I would be into things like that because I try to watch stuff like that where people swallow stuff and do crazy things like hang by the skin on their backs and I can't always watch it.

I just like the way certain textures feel going down my throat.

I can't wait for the comments on that last sentence. LOL
