It's the second time one of them got stuck in my nose. I think they're trying to kill me.

(Now it makes sense, she says they are like little gummi bears)

I just want to know *how* they got stuck up her nose!

Unfortunately Kama, that doesn't help the image any. [Big Grin]

Yet another one!

*blows bear out*

I should stop eating them. [Grumble]

Are you aiming for your mouth and missing? Or is it like laughing and milk coming out your nose except with gummi bear? Either way, it makes for a very funny image.

Sorry, my imagination just shut down at blowing a bare out. [Big Grin]

Most people eat by putting things in their mouth, rather than their nose. Perhaps that would solve your problem. [Razz]
 
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
 
Maybe she just has a bare nose.

How do you people eat in Poland? [Eek!]

You see, this stuff has to go in the lowest hole on your head, generally known as the mouth. Maybe you need to work on your hand-eye coordination. I hear video games are good for that.

On a side note, I love those things.

For the past few years, some of the Haribo stuff has even been kosher. They is nummy!

And I have never ended up with one in my NOSE. [Eek!]
 
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
 
Haribo is great. In addition to rainbow gummi miniature frogs, in Europe you can get gummy fried eggs!

Almost as cool as the Mexican Gumilocas that you can get shaped like dientes. [Big Grin]

Snicker. I think we've had enough fun at Kama's expense.

And I'm sure she looked very cute even while fending off the unwanted advances of the bear in question. [Big Grin]

Ugh, those fried egg ones are gross! While in Greece, one of our group had a slight obsession with the Haribo bears. By slight, I mean she rarely ate anything else. I can't look at a bag the same way now.

She didn't, however, get any stuck in her nose...
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
The fried egg ones are great! But not as good as the grapefruit ones. mmmmm . . . tart'n'sweet
 
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
 
I put them in my mouth. I chew them. And somehow, the bits always end up in my nose.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
. . . and she wants us to believe this is the bears' fault.
 
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
 
After her last post, I stopped wondering. [Big Grin]

Just sayin. If I die, you'll at least know why.
 
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
 
Oh no! Kama, if you die from gummi candy, we just couldn't bear it!

Keep that up, and she'll die from bad puns.
 
Posted by Anti-Chris (Member # 4452) on :
 
I once ate a bunch of popcorn, and while I was swallowing, I sneezed, and it all went into my nose area, which made me sneeze even more. So when I went to blow my nose, it had popcorn in it. And then one time.. uh.. one time Randy Beaman dreamt he ate a huge marshmellow....

Anybody else have this problem with gummi worms?
 
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
 
O_O WHY did I click on that?
 
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
 
You obviously do not wish to acknowledge the danger...

We really need a vomiting smiley. Yuck !
 
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
 
I threw up through my nose once. (A very long and horrible story that I can finally talk about ten years later.) For years after that, sometimes food would go upward rather than downward as gravity and biology intended.

Are you often threatened by soft, squishy candies?

-Trevor
 
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
 
I think she said she was also afraid of soft, squishy Americans, so maybe the hang-up is not the candy, but the squishiness.
 
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
 
I'm afraid to ask how many soft, squishy Americans she met...

-Trevor
 
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
 
Sadly, too many Americans these days are soft and squishy in the middle.

/me needs to lay off the sweets

Hey, so Kama has a slight eating disorder. We wouldn't make fun of her if she had a drinking problem would we?

Well, if milk came out of her nose, we probably would.

Bite the bears in the nose first. That way you get even with them.
 
Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
 
Put the entire bear in your mouth, and swallow it before you take another one. That should help [Smile]
 
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
 
I'll just let them dissolve the next time...

That snake guy...oh man. Anyone else notice the tears streaming down his face?
 
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
 
Kama,
I think the gummy quality of the bears is making them stick to the back of your throat, so when you breath out, they are close to your nasal passage. Try chewing them in the front of your mouth until they break up, then swallow.

(Why do I have advice for this?)

Haribo macht Kinder froh!
 
Posted by HRE (Member # 6263) on :
 
Might I add that it is pronounced Har-ee-bow. Any other pronunciation is the work of Satan, and the pronouncer will be instantly smitten.
 
Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :
 
Kama-are you coughing? Or laughing? Or standing on your head while eating them?
 
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
 
Just eating. Why is it so hard to understand? They're after me.
 
Posted by Psycho Triad (Member # 3331) on :
 
Kama~
Ever had the Haribo Gummi Cherries?

Those are MY favorite.
YUM!

Crazy as always,
Psychotriad
 
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
 
Did. Didn't try to kill me.
 
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
 
Rice sometimes gets into my nasal cavity. It may be the consequence of talking while I eat.
 
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
 
Ya know Kama, the thought had occured to me that if you were trying to swallow me, I'd probably put up a fight too.

If I was a chewy piece of bear-shaped candy, that is.

Bumped because this thread should be read now that we know the true nature of Haribo products, and just because people seem sort of edgy and it might be fun..

Did it happen while you were getting impressions taken for an orthodontic appliance?

Because this nearly happened to me on Friday. I was at the dentist's to get impressions made for a night guard (I evidently grind my teeth in my sleep). The ooky clayey stuff they make the impressions with (it tasted like mint and smelled like epoxy) oozed out of the mold and down the back of my throat.

Just TRY not to gag while this is happening. I tried, and failed. But you're not supposed to open your mouth while they're making the impression, so, there's only one place for that stuff to go... unless you can somehow get your mouth open and throw up on the dentist and his assistant.
