Unless you can swallow an extremely dry puck the size of your palm in one bite I think you'd have trouble doing that in the first place
Well good news then! It's a suppository!
These things are the size of a small coin
There are ones that are tiny, but those are basically facial wipes. The actual towels are hand-sizes
So that vial is the size of a tennis ball container?
No, they come in many different sizes.
The camping/backpacking ones are tiny, large pill size easily, but they aren’t big towels, you get basically a disposable towelette out of one. Because physics, really.
And they are almost exclusively super thin and low quality. They do the job with a purpose, but you wouldn’t use one outside of emergency or backpacking or something.
always have a towel with you, they say.
It would suck up any moisture your mouth produced as you tried to swallow. I doubt someone could swallow it. Choke on it though, for sure.
And would be changing shape and texture as it did so, you'd have to be trying to swallow it
Right, but you’d have to be trying really hard and I doubt it would make it to the stomach.
Just being pedantic I guess 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, funny .. right until they suffocate or rupture their esophagus.
Practical jokes live on the thin line between good laughs and manslaughter
You can't have manslaughter without mans laughter.
Oh Strawberry Sweetcake, I miss your evil
Fuck yeah
Joke aside, I don't get this, why not bring a reusable microfiber towel instead, they can be quite small and lightweight.
It also doesn't make sense because even the small ones are about 2" wide at least.
These can be used in interesting ways. There are some small ones that can be placed below a shutoff lever and if it soaks up any water it presses the lever and shuts off water to an appliance.
Extreme emergency sized tampons.
Had a 50ct bag of those once. Not really good for much unless youre into making plaster molds
Is that how fake mediums used to make "ectoplasm"?
