On the way home from work I had a feelin' for some Porkrinds. I stopped by the local gas station to pick some up. Got home, kicked the shoes off, cracked open a beer and sat at the TV. I popped my beloved bag of pork back fried crunchy snack and started scarffing them down. 8 pieces in and I'm laughing at some junk on the screen. Laughing causes me to inhale and thus aspirate a freshly chewed pigskin dust right into the "wrong pipe" which sent me into a world of panic.

First choking, then coughing coughing coughing, etc until it set on a gag reflex. I run to the bathroom as it's not stopping. Everytime I tried to breathe in it would cause mroe coughing and gagging. I'm in the toilet puking my brains out, teared up, running nose, puke dripping down my chin. 20 minutes there I was on the verge of death and really all I wanted to do was go back to my couch, suckle on my beer and shovel down some more porkskins.

Really though, in reflection... it's 2008 who chokes these days?

 

lol that sucks I know the feeling I almost met my maker one time with a whopper, thank you king!

 

That is the reason I dont eat Pixie Sticks anymore. Try doing that with BC Powder uuugghgh!!!

 

I got a piece of chicken sandwich stuck in my throat at lunch today, so you're not alone. One thing I'll always remember from First Aid training though is "if you're coughing, you're breathing".

 

Oh man glad you made it through

 

Wow! Glad you're ok - I was actually thinking something just a bit different:

Who eats porkrinds nowadays...

 

greatest thread ever!

 

So when you got done did you go back to your couch and drink your beer and finish up the porkrinds?

 

 

Absolutely did
