    Something an incredibly large number of people do not understand is that solid objects cannot pass through you: anything larger than 1-2mm will not get past the Pylorus Sphincter at the end of your stomach.

    Any claims otherwise are misled bullshit.

    EDIT: Lots of typos

        An unchewed kernel is about 7.5mm in diameter.

        The kernels are already popped or deflated as they enter the intestines, the loose corn kernal skins pass through like so.

      When I was a kid, I passed a marble. It was quite painful when exiting the stomach, but I’ll never forget the sound of it hitting the porcelain afterwards.
