According to the doctor, Mr Chen had the light bulb stuck in his mouth for more than two hours. He also said Mr Chen had dislocated one side of his jaw. In 2017, Chinese doctors also warned the public against trying to fit “light bulb sweets”, which were 6cm in diameter and 10cm long, into their mouth. It was then a trendy online challenge, reported BBC.A video from TheSoul Publishing explains that while the bulb’s shape allows it to be easily inserted into the mouth, taking it out is problematic.
