Rachel Ware with us. Hi, Rach.

Good morning.

Thanks for coming up. Appreciate it.

Hey, Nick, if you tried this viral challenge, swallow a whole burger without chewing.

Why would you?

Well, you die.

He's not dead yet. I was going to say, does he eat it a different way? Do you want to enjoy the burger? This is a viral challenge. No, you want to win the challenge. That's what it's all about these days, is winning the challenge. Man was attempting a dangerous social media challenge involving gulping down the entire burger without chewing when he began to choke.

It depends upon the size of the burger, I suppose. What are we looking at here? Who could have foreseen that? It's in Greece, right? Right. Trying to swallow an entire burger and you're going to choke? It could be a choking hazard. He had something like a panic attack. He gets up and runs a bit further away. he thought he was going to spit it out, but he was starting to hit his back against a column,

which is funny because he was in Greece.

I see what you did.

That just popped into my head.

I'm so sad.

I got that.

I'm that brilliant.

He said, okay, it's coming now, and it didn't happen either he's got serious conditions vital organs

including brain and kidneys i guess it's all from choking oh but hey he doesn't gag no air right
