Could I swallow a whole egg and pass it through my other end?

I sure hope so, else he just might be a bit cracked.

As panache notes, it’s all about the size of the egg. A fish egg, for example (if enclosed in some substance that wouldn’t be dissolved by the hydrochloric acid solution in your stomach) would be no problem.

If you’re talking about an ordinary hen’s egg, how would you even manage to get it into your stomach? I still remember trying to swallow a peachpit (which is much smaller than the average hen’s egg) once when I was a kid, and never even got it past the glottis. (Good thing too, or I’d probably have choked to death.)

I tried swallowing an entire boiled egg. The damn snake on TV did it - why can’t I? :mad:

Yes, there was a lot of back-slapping, coughing, and “What the hell were you thinking???” ’ s going on in my house that night…

Cool Hand Luke swallowed fifty eggs.

Nobody can eat fifty eggs.
