Old Mate Just Remembered He’s Had An Entire Spoon In His Throat For A Year

The man in his early-20s has just been chilling with a 20cm metal spoon in his chest. NBD.

What’s the single most stupid thing you’ve done for a bet? Well whatever it is, forget it, it’s boring, it’s stupid and I hate it, because it’s been eternally one-upped by this supremely loose unit who ate a spoon because one of the boys convinced him to do it.

Doctors in China have revealed they recently removed a 20cm long, fully intact metal spoon from the gullet of a Mr. Zhang, who apparently had just been chilling with it INSIDE HIS BODY for a full calendar year.

The madman, who is in his early-20s because of course he is, reportedly swallowed the utensil back in 2017 on impulse while “betting” with others.

I assume this means a mate of Mr. Zhang’s saw his chance and dropped a “bet you wouldn’t swallow that spoon whole right now”, and by gum did he pull it off.

The spoon, disgustingly pictured below, got caught on old mate’s oesophagus, leading him to simply go “welp, I guess this is my life now” and do absolutely nothing about it.

GROT.

The spoon somehow caused Zhang zero issues over the 12 months in which it called his upper body home with complications only arising when he was recently PUNCHED IN THE CHEST. Honestly, this guy’s life is a constant god damn ride.

Our hero (?) is currently doing just fine though, with a difficult two hour surgery at Xinjiang Coal Mine General Hospital finally getting the spoon out and allowing him to return to his life of daredevilry and chest punches.

God speed, son.
