I want to make a food (maybe chocolate) the exact dimensions of of a lightbulb so I can try this safely. I really think I could take it out.
Use melted sugar, that'd be more authentic!
Sugar glass!
Yeah, couldn't remember what it's called. Thanks!
Isn't it still sharp though?
It'll soften with your saliva hopefully.
I think the point is that the fear of not being able to get it out easily would lead your jaw muscles to clench up. So somebody would have to basically trick you into thinking that the imitation is real.
There's LED bulbs of the exact size and shape but with plastic casings
But then if it gets stuck you can't even break it, you'd just have to live like that.
Open your mouth all the way. Use your fingers to measure it. Do you really think a lightbulb could fit in there?
Well, given that it could fit in, it could come out the same way. I have a rather large face hole, so I think it could fit. Is the meme meant to be that the lightbulb is too big for most people to even get in?
Now you got us all sticking fingers in our mouth
You could try and find an apple that's about the same size?
Use an ice cream cone. Saves the effort of making some elaborate food thing. And with a cone, you can just bite through it, after the the hard outer, the ice cream is just easy to bite through.
I think the problem comes.up when your jaw locks and its a bastard to move it. I get it occasionally when I'm eating or yawning.
