Cok-Mento

I was in my first year of Junior college. It was my first night out with my college friends. My friends were feeling hungry. So we went to the station to have something at 12.30 in the night. I wasn't hungry so I had a 'fountain coke' while the others ate. I was addicted to chewing gum and used to ruminate like a cow all day long. I put a mentos in my mouth and began churning. After some time I had a few sips of the coke.

All of a sudden, I couldn't draw breath and started choking. My brain started to have this burning sensation which I couldn't get rid of. I spat out the mentos. It's funny what dying can do to you, even thinking about it changes your perception towards life and all the wonderful things that come with it. I thought I was gonna die, but didn't want to end my life as a goldfish gasping for breath. So I started hitting myself in the back to dislodge whatever it was that was blocking my air pipe. I could see my friends surrounding me, but no one came forward to help.

After some time my idiot friends realized that I was not acting. But then also that was no help as they started thinking that I got possessed. But still they decided to help me (phew). One of my friend caught me by my neck and put me down on the floor. The other one started hitting me hard on my back. I was scared as a chicken. Finally, the thing in my wind pipe came out and I could breath again!

Moral: Coke and Mentos combo, baaaad idea!
