I'm quite surprised that this actually works (or seems to, based on the Snopes link). The holes in these pen caps are tiny, and I feel like if I had one lodged in my airway I still wouldn't be able to suck enough air through that. But I guess you can't argue with results.

- readenough 2y agoTrying it out might lead to the cap getting accidentally sucked into the wind pipe. Please be careful. Edit spelling.
- EnigmaFlare 2y agoCome on. Millions of people put pen caps in their mouths. Nobody's going to need a special warning when they're specifically thinking about the choking hazard.
