    First time this has ever happened to me. I lost a tooth and didn't even know I did it until I tried to eat some pizza for super. My tooth had been in bad shape for the last 2 years and needed to be pulled but had insurance problems. Dentist issue's is a issue that people don't talk much about with social security. Not every dentist takes it and it only pays to remove a tooth and that is it. For me it was the back tooth that helps you chew and it had been really bad the last week or so and you could literally shift it back and forth.

    Anyways I didn't notice it gone for most of the day. I think I was distracted by some hearing problems in my right ear. Q-tips can be abused especially when you feel the wax in your ear and it doesn't go away as soon as you use the q-tip. Anyways I noticed the tooth was gone but the thing is I don't know when I lost it. I can't find it so my only theory is I must have swallowed it at night when I was sleeping. I mean you also factor in the urge for some Fava beans and a nice Chianti it only makes sense. At least the pain from the tooth is gone.

    Has anything like this ever happened to anyone? I really hope my tooth doesn't stay with me forever like they say gum does when you swallow it. Actually it makes me think more about what else was going on when I was having some sleep paraylis last night as well. Could I have been literally choking to death on a tooth?

    I guess you weren't one of those kids who ate scabs then.

    I have never eaten teeth, but I have eaten grasshoppers, and they were delicious.

    I want to try those. I have eaten two bags of bugs but I'm not sure what they were and as I recall grasshoppers are fairly bit so probably wasn't them.

    What form did you have them in, fried.. ?

    Toasted.

    Specifically, they are prepared and cooked by a nearby Mexican restaurant, then shipped to the ballpark en masse (this was in Seattle, where I was on vacation last September).



    Very good, but I agree with the announcer above - they are EXTREMELY spicy. Probably the spiciest thing I have ever eaten in my life.

    Damn sight better than Dodger Stadium hot dogs, I'll say that much.

    Then again, a TOOTH would be better than a Dodger Stadium hot dog. :barf:

    Cannibalism is when a human consumes the flesh or organs of a human being. A tooth doesn't cut it, mister. ;)

    Do NOT use Q-tips to get rid of earwax. You could damage your ear if you do that.

    If it's sharp enough, it will!

    As @Tosk mentioned, this situation doesn't even come close to qualifying. Your non-cannibal status is safe! :)

    This is a thing? Eww.

    I never ate scabs but when I was young I liked touching this kids wart. Not sure as why I liked doing that.

    My friend ate her scabs and.. well it was worse than that. She would save them in a little plastic thing and eat them later in bed.

    Surely she must have had some vitamin deficiency?

    At least it's not as gross as eating your own boogers.

    ^ Well, if you like your hot dogs so burned up and shriveled that they look like somebody took a blowtorch to 'em...it's your call. :lol:

    That's how you activate the flavor crystals within (legal disclosure: probably crack) so you can soar to new heights of deliciousness.

    Dodger Dogs are peak food. All other hot dogs are just chicken lips and turkey assholes. Dodger Dog are the lips and assholes of kings and queens (legal disclosure: not actually made of royalty ((Sic semper tyrannis)), but you probably will engage in some mild cannibalism).
