Man dies after winning Roach Eating Contest

So the next time I get a craving to pig out on junk food, I’ll just come to this thread. Eventually they’ll be correlated in my mind and I will never eat anything again. Ever.

If EVER there was a time for a barfy smiley…

I can’t imagine a worse way to go than choking on roach parts. I’d rather swallow molten lava.

“Aspiration of gastric contents”. Is that a polite way of saying the half-chewed roaches were coming out of his nose?

“His airway was obstructed by bug body parts”. What a cheery thought.

Easy to understand why no one did A.R. on him.

It means they went into his trachea (windpipe) and possibly lungs. Like when food goes down “the wrong pipe” basically.

Is it possible, since he swallowed them in a hurry, that some weren’t chewed and still alive?

… and began eating their way back out …

Jesus. Why oh why did I ever click on this thread?

I still have trouble watching that scene in Creepshow. You know the one. :shudders:

“Aspiration(breathing) of gastric(stomach) contents.” - He choked on his vomit, which was primarily made up of roaches and worms. I wonder if it’s too late to revise the Dumb Ways To Die PSA?
