I want to make a food (maybe chocolate) the exact dimensions of of a lightbulb so I can try this safely. I really think I could take it out.
Use melted sugar, that’d be more authentic!
Sugar glass!
Yeah, couldn’t remember what it’s called. Thanks!
Isn’t it still sharp though?
It’ll soften with your saliva hopefully.
I think the point is that the fear of not being able to get it out easily would lead your jaw muscles to clench up. So somebody would have to basically trick you into thinking that the imitation is real.
There’s LED bulbs of the exact size and shape but with plastic casings
But then if it gets stuck you can’t even break it, you’d just have to live like that.
Open your mouth all the way. Use your fingers to measure it. Do you really think a lightbulb could fit in there?
Well, given that it could fit in, it could come out the same way. I have a rather large face hole, so I think it could fit. Is the meme meant to be that the lightbulb is too big for most people to even get in?
Now you got us all sticking fingers in our mouth
Use an ice cream cone. Saves the effort of making some elaborate food thing. And with a cone, you can just bite through it, after the the hard outer, the ice cream is just easy to bite through.
I think the problem comes.up when your jaw locks and its a bastard to move it. I get it occasionally when I’m eating or yawning.
You could try and find an apple that’s about the same size?
I hate this so much. This is worse than The Game
DAMMIT
Yw
LED bulbs are low risk. I’m gonna do it.

It was enlightening. Like I got my lips around the base. I pulled it out just fine. Maybe these folks were like deep throating these light bulbs, which honestly I think the porn industry might have influenced these light bulb deep throats.
I think the led bulbs are smaller and have slightly different shape from the glass bulbs
Ok real talk here for a minute. If, by any chance, some dufus has put a lightbulb in their month and need help removing it, grab a sturdy cloth towel, pass it into their mouth through the corners and gently wrap the glass part of the lightbulb in the cloth. When you’re done, all corners of the cloth should be hanging outside persons mouth. Their teeth should not touch the glass directly - only through the cloth. This way when the glass breaks, all the pieces will be contained I the cloth for an easy and, if you are careful, harmless removal.
The safest way to crack the bulb once you’ve wrapped it in cloth is to GENTLY tap the bottom jaw - imagine a 4 year-old landing an uppercut. The glass is very thin and cracks easily, - no need for much force.
Of course, better not get into such a situation in the first place. Stay safe, folks!
That is oddly specific knowledge.

Now I’m imagining 4yo boxers and it’s adorable! Thanks for that mental image, genuinely 😂
Note: CFL bulbs contain mercury and so would be worth searching for materials that can contain mercury.
You can also like, dislocate your jaw. That works. Would not recommend doing unless you can already dislocate it on command though.
I’m with the commenter. I hate that someone seeded this in my brain ever.
Come on. Do it, pussy.
You know it goes in easily.
Given its shape it could also fit in other parts of the body but might be hard to remove.
I suppose if you get it stuck elsewhere you could use a socket to screw into the bulb and extract it
That’s…not the worst idea I’ve ever heard…
The worse version doesn’t include unplugging the lamp
Anyone who’s worked on electronics know the frustration of the “easy to insert, hard as hell to remove” type fasteners that manufacturers insist on using. Basically the exact same principle as this. Plenty of plastic casing fasteners and super tiny and delicate connectors are built like that. If something goes wrong during disassembly, at best you’ll have an unsightly crack or blemish on the casing, at worst you rip an internal connector and its socket right off the circuit board along with some traces, destroying it. And getting frustrated exponentially increases the chances you’ll break something.
“I’ll just pop off this U.FL antenna connector…and its socket too I guess…”
I’ve accidentally peeled like an inch of copper traces off the PCB too, when the pads are attached strongly enough (or the copper is adhered weakly enough? Not sure which). Way worse feeling than nails on a chalkboard, RIP device.
We now have plastic led bulbs the same size as the old glas ones.
Stop it! You’re making it worse by making it better!
I just don’t get how this can be true. Don’t people have different sizes mouths? How can if fit going in but not coming out? Am I just falling for a stupid joke? Either way I kinda want to try this now.
I’m beginning to think that people may lie on the internet.
I don’t know if this is true, but it seems plausible that the bulb could have asymmetric strength depending on the angle force is applied. Glass does weird things! Case in point: Prince Rupert’s drops.
Edit: Alright, this seems to be a myth. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/38262/can-a-lightbulb-once-inserted-into-your-mouth-be-safely-removed
So… How do you take it out though? Someone else’s help? Why wouldn’t they break it while trying to take it out too? Or is breaking it the only option, as a lesson for your stupidity? Is this a painful/traumatic enough torture method? So many questions 🤔
Just gotta swallow it
Muscle relaxers?
And lots of lube.
Play snake and unhinge your jaw.
I’d guess they would put a kind of thick bag over it and then break it so it can’t hurt the mouth.
What if you meditate or go to sleep or otherwise relax it enough to take it out? That should work if the only thing keeping it in is the involuntary stress/fear response of muscle tension.
Go to sleep? With a lightbulb in your mouth??
I mean, I’ve fallen asleep at the dentist’s before. That’s the same right?
To be clear, it was momentary lapses in consciousness during routine cleanings, not due to anesthesia.
Jaws of life.
Open wide and push it out with your tongue
Let’s do this …For science…
This is why Uncle Fester always put the bulbs in the other way.
Now I always have this lightbulb in mind when I see guys like this
You gotta ease into eating light bulbs, start with the ones people wrap around Christmas trees and work your way up to the big ones.
Luckily, all my light bulbs are the (American) football-shaped LED kind and there’s no glass.
