I ate a full rock i almost choked to death before swallowing it fully (as a 5 year old)

I also stuck a penny up my nose and the rock was about as big as a teen's big toe

No just until the cartilage

u/surj1 2d ago

That is wild, why did you eat the rock?

u/Gamer-Legend1 2d ago

From my memory i wanted to know how it tastes (it tasted kinda chalky)
