      I think the led bulbs are smaller and have slightly different shape from the glass bulbs

        It was enlightening. Like I got my lips around the base. I pulled it out just fine. Maybe these folks were like deep throating these light bulbs, which honestly I think the porn industry might have influenced these light bulb deep throats.

    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.

    Anyone who's worked on electronics know the frustration of the "easy to insert, hard as hell to remove" type fasteners that manufacturers insist on using. Basically the exact same principle as this. Plenty of plastic casing fasteners and super tiny and delicate connectors are built like that. If something goes wrong during disassembly, at best you'll have an unsightly crack or blemish on the casing, at worst you rip an internal connector and its socket right off the circuit board along with some traces, destroying it. And getting frustrated exponentially increases the chances you'll break something.

    You gotta ease into eating light bulbs, start with the ones people wrap around Christmas trees and work your way up to the big ones.

    The most commonly used A-series light bulb type is an A60 bulb (or its inch-based equivalent, the A19 bulb, which is 60 mm (19⁄8 in or 2+3⁄8 in) wide at its widest point

    A circumference of 7.4 inches is larger than most people can put in their mouth without teeth contact

    I don't understand why this is so tempting. It's clearly dangerous and even says not to do it.

    Anyways, my mouth is ever slightly too small for one to accidentally slip in. But I could probably force it and not have the ability to crunch a plastic LED bulb to get it out.

      It's tempting because it sounds like complete and utter bullshit and we think we could prove it wrong.

      I mean, I'm not going to actually stick a lightbulb in my mouth, but I'm still convinced it's bullshit.
