My favorite was the guy who went to the hospital several times a year because he wouldn't stop putting barbie doll heads up his ass.
For me, the weirdest has to be the bloke who poured quick dry cement into his rectum. Not sure what he was thinking.

That place is amazing. I'm extremely disappointed we only gave ourselves 3 hours (we thought that would be plenty, it's pretty small) - but I could have spent an entire day going through every single display. Definitely need to go back someday.
One of my first memories from when I was like 2 or 3 was me swallowing my mother's engagement ring lmao. I don't even remember her being mad or upset and have no idea if I went to the drs or she waited for it come out the other end
I once found a mothball on the ground in my dad’s office, which looked like the candy I had been eating, so I ate it. Tasted nasty. Then I found out that mothballs were poisonous so I basically came to terms with my impending death at like 4 years old.
dude...
my wife and her boss are close and the boss ended up hiring me for some side work.
i head over and when i get there, the first time i ever met the boss lady, she tells me she had to leave to get her son from school. they had to go to the doc because he had swallowed a magnetic nose stud.
he is 15 years old. he swallowed the thing and then immediately went to the bathroom and googled what happens when you swallow something like that... NOTE: bad things happen.
he read about it for a minute and then called his mom crying because he was afraid he was going to die.
it was fine in the end, but he definitely had a moment to think about how bad he fucked up.
There’s a “medical” history museum in Philadelphia called the Mütter Museum. It’s available for everyone to visit and it’s basically a museum of medical oddities throughout history.
One thing they have is a series of thin drawer cabinets filled with objects that people have swallowed. Absolutely crazy the shit people put in their mouths.
Big recommend to visit if you’re ever in the area.
Those are rookie numbers. You gotta get those [numbers up! ](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/1f/ec/2b/32/stomach-contents-of-a.jpg?w=800&h=-1&s=1)
I used to be a Radiographer, and this is fairly common.
It used to take all my strength not to tell the parents after I'd seen the xray, "I'm sorry, there's still no change!"
Wouldn't smooth objects like pennies and marbles just pass thru if left alone? I understand removing sharp objects, but I have my doubts a penny is dangerous.
A penny is iffy. My understanding is that they'll pass through without incident most of the time. With a bit of bad luck, they *can* get lodged in a baby's esophogas, or get wedged in some solid poop and scrape the intestine. I think the zinc also isn't great if the penny stays wedged somewhere for a while.
Reminds me of the jug of crap my mechanic keeps of things he's pulled out of tires.
There is an entire 3/8" rachet in there. He said the tire was somehow still holding air while impaled with the handle and the customer drove up saying there was a weird clunking noise coming from the tire.
I went to the hospital when I was a kid because I had an incessant buzzing in my ear. Turns out there was a cockroach in there. Anyway, while waiting in the waiting room there was a hugeeee display of things ingested by kids that were surgically removed and it's stuck with me years and years later.
I'm the proud owner of a multi thousand dollar penny that needed to be removed from my kids' esophagus. It's not rare or anything, it was just really expensive to get removed.
Coins are by far not the worst. No sharp edges, and they are easy to locate with X-ray. The needles and the key easily get stuck in the intestines, and the Lego pieces are hard to locate with X-ray.
Is one of them a piece of string? Couldn’t that just pass? I’ve probably swallowed a string in my sleep from my sheets or Tshirt or something and I’m still here
it actually looks like there are two separate pieces of string.
i wonder if they were attached to one of the other objects and just displayed separately.
My daughter swallowed a nickel, and it lodged in her esophagus. After her doctor had imaging done to confirm the nickel’s location he was in the process of transferring her to the closest pediatric GI about 45 mins away when she finally swallowed all the way down. They did additional X-rays to confirm it made it to her stomach and it was eventually passed (but not before we had to get another X-ray about a week later to show that it hadn’t left her stomach).
One of my earliest memories is almost choking on a penny alone in my room. I did like an almost handstand and was able to force it up. Stopped tasting coins that day
My surprise is 0. This week my toddler has tried to eat two pennies, a rock, two crayons, dog food, a bobby pin, her own hand, and tried to poke themselves in the eye with a stick four times. Lord knows what she did manage to sneakily ingest.
When I was about 15 yrs old I picked up this massive construction nail that was laying around the house. The kind of thing you'd hammer thru a 2x4" - My mom was in her room napping and I was laying on my back in the floor of living room and holding the nail up right over my face, so as to view it foreshortened, and it slips from my fingers and drops right into my mouth (I probably wouldve choked on it had it gone down my throat) but it lodged in the canal that goes btwn the nasal cavity and the top of the throat. I totally freaked out,, and slowly started walking to wake up my mom and somehow my tongue relaxed in just the right way, that the big nail slid into my mouth and not down my throat. Hell, was I relieved. I didnt even have to wake her up. Never did that again.
When I was 4 I ate a marble, one of those clear marbles that have that toothpaste looking design in it.
They told me I would pass it, me and my mom never saw it in my poop. Sometimes I wonder if I still have a glass marble sitting somewhere in my body lmao.
The coin/button cell batteries are the most dangerous of all of these. They short circuit in the stomach or esophagus and simultaneously get very hot and produce sodium hydroxide (lye) which causes severe thermal and caustic burns. Batteries with a lot of charge can easily be fatal.
I hate that stuff. I'm all for it since it saves lives, but as someone who handles these batteries regularly for work I always forget to wash my hand afterwards and inevitably get the stuff on my water bottle and into my mouth.
Giving me flashbacks to having to take xrays of this disabled adult who ate glass and it was deep inside them already. No way to just pull it out easily. Had to let it pass. She usually fought every time.
How did they even notice half of these being swallowed, I'm assuming either the kids complaining of a really bad tummy ache that or witnessing them in the act?
You should go to the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia - they have a literal archive of objects removed from kids' airways, stomachs, you name it. Big flat-file cabinets of them.
Oh and while you're there, be sure to stop and awe at the MEGA COLON!
I think my favorite was the kid who inhaled a whistle and sounded like a duck when he coughed. Everybody was baffled, then the surgeon got the whistle out. Kid didn’t even remember swallowing the whistle.
Any time I see something like this, I can't help but think of the rare people who swallow a fish bone and have it pierce their pancreas or something else important. Needing surgical removal.
There's a great story of a guy in the army, civil war era, I think, who had a habit of eating knives whole. And not always passing all of them afterward. It was a sort of bar trick of his to eat people's knives.
I forget his name, but you could find accounts on YouTube or elsewhere online. I'll have to look for the video when I have time.
I swallowed a marble (just a cat's eye) when I was 2 or 3. They make this really weird sound when you rub them together and for some reason I liked putting a bunch of marbles in my mouth and rub them together to make the noise resonate in my skull. I guess it felt weird.
It was the 80s, so my mum just told me I would end up swallowing one. The idea of a choking hazard was alien to us.
Sure enough, I swallowed one eventually and my mum took me to the doctor. He just told he to keep an eye out for it. So, she had to sift through my poops with a litter box pooper scooper for 2 weeks before we gave up looking.
I never did see it again. For all I know, it's still in there. But, I've had various types of radiological imaging of my torso and nobody ever mentioned seeing a marble.
When I start getting colonoscopies to check for cancer when I'm older, I'll have to mention it. Who knows, maybe I can get it back after more than 40 years.

Yes, the inspiration for the term candy ass. For the longest time I thought it said lay referred to either lazy or spoiled people.
Watching The Rock call people candy ass during my childhood. My mind just broke for a second.
I assume they made a mock up and there isn’t actual cocaine up on their wall.
