Here’s A BRIGHT Idea, Don’t Put Light Bulbs In Your Mouth

We've all seen the stories of people putting random things in their mouths, and it makes you wonder WHY?!

Well, a man in China almost got himself seriously injured because he thought it would be a funny idea to put a light bulb in his mouth.

There was a video on Facebook that had been circling around, showing that putting a lightbulb in your mouth could cause your mouth to lock up, and the bulb would be stuck. So, if you know it's a bad idea, why do it? Well this man from China wanted to see how valid this video actually was. The video that was viral showed a man doing the "Lightbulb Challenge." After watching the video, a man from Eastern China name Chen didn't believe the video, so he did it, according to The Straits Times.

Chen had no issue putting the lightbulb in his mouth. But when he tried to remove it, he couldn't. The video was true! The glass part of the lightbulb was in his mouth and the metal bottom of the bulb was sticking out of his mouth. He couldn't speak or swallow. And worse yet, he couldn't move his head or mouth too much because the glass could break and a serious injury could happen. His jaw was dislocated on one side and it was impossible to remove it.

Chen somehow contacted the fire department to help him. They were hesitant to help or do anything with the light bulb. They instead took him to a local hospital where the doctor slowly and carefully removed it using a mouth opener. The bulb was in his mouth for over two hours!

News Flare posted a video of Chen and the doctor interacting. Placed in Chen's mouth was a light bulb wedged between his teeth. It looked almost impossible to remove it.

In a video, they show that the bulb is easier to insert because your mouth is relaxed. But when trying to remove it, your mouth starts to tense up and your teeth end up getting in the way. The video also advises people to NOT do this. Sadly when you say "don't do" something, people will do it.

With the holidays here and as we all start to travel to see family and friends, there is one thing you should never do while flying this holiday season...take off your shoes and socks! The Mike & Carla Morning Show brought this up this morning in "A Few Things We Think You Should Know" and boy did it hit home.

Think of all the times you have flown, when's the last time you decided to strip off the shoes and socks and decided to put this up as you stretch out? Having no qualms about who was sitting around you? Being that person that puts your bare feet up on the armrest in front of you for your comfort?

A recent article published by Readers Digest spots 10 tips of etiquette to keep in mind when flying this holiday season...and they seem to all make sense. The best part, they're all just common sense and, believe it or not, common courtesy.

Although it didn't make the Top 5, one that seems the most important is bringing "smelly foods" on board. This seems to be a trend now that airlines have curbed their food service on flights recently. From pizza to eggs...once you open that bag and start chowing down, it might not be apparent to you, but the whole flight can smell what you're eating!  So you can imagine what it must be like for those people sitting right next to you!

One of the obvious "courtesy" tips offered is when the plane lands, disembark calmly and politely! Don't be that person near the back of the plane that once the wheels touch down, stand up, start getting your carry on luggage out from the bins because you're really not going anywhere. How many of us have seen that person...or worse yet, been that person? It never fails and even more frustrating when you are sitting by or behind that person.

Just a reminder, when flying this holiday season, be courteous, be smart and use a little common sense. To listen to the segment from this morning, hit "play" below or if you want to see what etiquette tips made the Top 5 from the article, then scroll down and enjoy!

You only have so much space on a plane...as well as everyone else, so make sure to be very conscientious of that when flying. This might be why this tip comes in at #5 on the list!

Sometimes on a flight, you can actually make a difference when it comes time to swap your seat so a family might be able to sit together...be flexible when this situation happens. Most of the time everyone wins. An important tip that comes in at #4!

Don't be shy about helping a fellow passenger when it comes to storing carry-on or anything else for that matter. Being nice on a flight makes the trip that much more enjoyable for everyone on the plane...glad this one came in at #3

Surprised that this wasn't #1 on the list because how you board and get situated on a plane sets the tone for the entire flight! And when we talk "pack courteously", it simply means, don't be that person with a carry-on, backpack, two bags full of stuff and a pillow to where you can't even make it down the aisle!

As we said before, the way you start out your flight sets the tone for the entire trip, so don't be that person that takes all the time in the world when going through security! Pay attention, focus and be aware there are other people behind you and around you trying to get to their gate just as well!!
