He had to get his stomach pumped, but lulz were had by all."
“Not me, but a friend of mine.
He was drunk at a party and walked into the kitchen to take some shots.
So he took it like a shot.
Turns out it was bleach.
I stayed with him for the rest of the night.
He vomited uncontrollably for two hours.
He was shaking, and his face was bright red.
We force-fed him water, and another friend called 911 to ask what to do.
We got him through it, but he honestly wanted to die because it burned so badly.”

“A family friend, when she was little, drank Drano.
She had had so many surgeries before that she has a high tolerance to most painkillers.”
“I had a bit of a death wish as a very small child.
I sincerely thought that was how you dyed your hair.
By drinking it out of the bottle.
“Stomach pump #2 happened when I was 3.

My older brother told me it was sugar and that I should eat it.
I ended up in the hospital with a drip in me to rehydrate.
I was fine other than that, though.”
“When my mom was little, she accidentally drank gasoline.
My grandfather was storing some in (glass) Coke bottles.
She took a swig and started screaming.
My grandmother called the doctor, who instructed her to feed my mother bread soaked in milk.
She lived (or else I wouldn’t be here).”
Yup, I licked it all up.
Still no idea what the hell it was.”
My sister was about 3 at the time.
My dad had recently switched companies, and the one he left manufactured breast implants.
My parents throw it in a shoebox, then into a closet, and forget about it."
“When I was little I walked into our pantry and found this bag of sweets.
They were bright and colorful and were in a pretty bag.
Naturally, I ripped that shit open and threw a few of them into my mouth without thinking.
They turned out to be anti-moth tablets.
What the actual fuck?
Why would they make them look so much like candy?”
“I ate that blue powdered Miracle Grow fertilizer stuff when I was young.
I mean, it’s bright blue; I thought it was candy!”
“When I was younger, my parents used to run a TCBY frozen yogurt place.
I used to go to work with my mom sometimes.
“After about three handfuls, I realized the taste was disgusting.
It was a white crystal cleaner for the frozen yogurt machines.
I told my mother, who freaked and called poison control.

“My dad was working abroad painting a millionaire’s house and drank a huge gulp of White Spirit.
This stuff strips paint.
In the country, it was sold in plastic bottles that looked like water.
One night, he wakes up, and the house is flooding.
Water is ruining all the paintwork he’s done over the week.
He needs a drink and picks the wrong thing in the dark.
After the first swallow, he knows he’s fucked up.
He quickly starts firing out of both canisters.
He had the worst feverish dreams.
Everyone else there left him, working on the flood.
He stays in his room, basically ruined.”
And lastly:

My throat started constricting, and I panicked and ran outside.
I had only gotten a few feet when I couldn’t breathe and started blacking out.
“I woke up facedown on the ground and was seeing stars.
I had only been out for probably less than a minute when I could breathe again.
Probably the closest I’ve ever come to dying.”
