I Swallow.
24% Normal

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?

normal for a duck
what are butter beans
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.
a bannan pepper is like a dried up pepper to me it tasted like mustard and its probably dangerous to swallow it hole
wtf goldfish
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.
you swallowed my interest
bleh.
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.
@: P00LTOY
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.
@: P00LTOY
I will be careful. =)
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
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 :)
@: Barnum
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.
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.
@: Barnum
I think the seeds are killer too.
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)
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
hmmmm, interesting. I might try that one day.
@: Barnum
LOL. nah I only swallow certain shapes of popcorn, it's hard to explain.
Yes, I see that. Well, I suppose if you like it, and it doesn't hurt then why not right? lol

Hmmm...Don't take what I said up there ^^^ the wrong way, lol. (Gotta have a dirty mind to misconstrue what I said hahaha)
i lolled
Nerd candies are the bestt.
: )
CUPPYCAKEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
if you video yourself swallowing things, and put it on youtube, i'll make sure you get 50,000 hits.
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
@: P00LTOY
LOL

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?
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 think its thats weird.. I do the same thing..
maybe I do, when the time is right. =)
Time is right, right now. You should try mine :)
wishful thinking......
yeah, very wishful, especially the part about him even having a big fat cock.
LOL.
Hahha, I mean sure it's normal.

I do the oppostie, I chew everything.

Haha.

Good luck:D
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.
why goldfish??!!
I don't know they are salty and I just like the way it feels I guess. I'm weird.
lmao normal for a duck.
haha y do u eat fish?
Normal for birds, fish, and wolves. Not normal for humans.
damn misleading advertising
I swallow maccaroni whole. I just dont feel the need to swallow.
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
I like ducks. :(
i do the same thing with ice. i like the way it feels as it gently scratches my throat while its going down.
i used to do this till i almost choked lol
i think its bad for your stomach
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.
omg i always used to do that!!!
might have to get back into the habit now
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.
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.
@XxgemdinxX

Well damn, I'm going to die from swallowing peanuts and goldfish crackers? Oh well, we all gotta die somehow right?

@Zedhunter

Are you referring to me? You know me from somewhere? Is it AOL? ;D
Yes I am.

Most likely not from AOL, though. *shifty eyes*

If you see me, you'll know me.
Trust me.

On an unrelated note, wow that's introverted. I said 'me' 3 times.
don't eat marshmallows whole. you can die
I bet people recognize me all the time off the I*net and just don't say anything for fear of embarressment. Yea because I'm sooooo popular on the internet. Har har harrr! LOLz
hahaha
i know the feeling like in LION KING they swallow those bugs it is cool but bad for ur digest systms
i dont really know i just let water go down ym throat
This secretly means you want dick, because you want to feel it slide down your throat.
i do that 2... NOT!
i cant even swallow a pill and your swallowing everything under the sun whole. thats crazy
ASL?
sure if you love the dude and wanna do it
lmao! i havnt heard that in YEARS
i bet you cant swallow a quarter
That's so funny cuz I was just thinkin about "a/s/l/" the other day and how obsolete it has become.
I bet I wouldn't want to either.
*choke's you and shakes you* I LIKE DUCK'S!
oh wow, don't they stick in your throat and cause u pain? u shouldn't do that, it's dangerous, u might not be able to get it past your throat to your stomach, and it'll stay stuck there.
plus, that's a really fucked up thing to do. dude, u are so wierd.
Yes its normal =]
your a pig :D :D jk
How is it not normal? If you don't choke on it, I say go for it. Do what you want as long as its not harming yourself. Its the way you eat, and it works, so whats not normal about it? =]
As long as you don't choke then yes. stay safe [Y]
@: maya617
Haha.
Just be careful and don't choke!
Hahaha, that is just funny. I swallow foods too. It definitely feels weird, but I don't plan on swallowing anything to big. I prefer pasta. I could just be lazy, screw the chewing and just stuff it down....
lmao
and it is type odd dont choke and have fun
I don't think it is normal but if we were all normal this world would suck!
chew your food. you don't wanna choke.
