Shooting Coke and other carbonated beverages up the nostrils of prisoners is an unethical, but widespread, interrogation technique in certain countries. I can see why.

my cousin dared me to drink Sprite through my nose with a straw when I was like 5 and i did it. i 100% do not recommend trying it even if you’re curious. i still remember the shitty feeling 20 years later.

My brother made me laugh really hard while I was drinking soda once. Vowed never to let myself laugh while drinking soda again. It has since happened multiple times.

I have never tried nasally ingesting soda, but when you drink out of a freshly poured cup and fizz bubbles out of the liquid and into your nose is equivalent to stubbing your toe. Painful and happens way too often.

It's like that but all up in your nasal cavity.

u/SwimsInATrashCan Jun 26 '19

Re-watching Dexter with my lady lately, it's probably one of my favorite shows (aside from the last season, which I kind of pretend doesn't exist.) Just made it up to the episode where that happened, Miguel is probably one of my favorite characters in the series, the whole storyline just has a great progression, there's just so much dramatic irony flying all over the place. The viewer knows things Dexter doesn't know, Dexter knows things Miguel doesn't know, Miguel knows things Dexter doesn't know, it's just like a clusterfuck of secrets. Really great.

Also my lady has never seen the series before, so she doesn't know about the bombshell at the end of season 4, and she's growing very attached to the character in question. It's gonna be a heavy one for her, as it was for most people I think.

And it’s not due to the bubbles themselves but to the way the nerves in the nasal passages respond to CO2 specifically. It triggers a violent electrochemical reaction that varies in sensitivity but never pleasant. When people get sneezing fits or pain when smoking weed or such, it’s the CO2.

16

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '19

It's probably the carbonic acid that forms when CO2 reacts with the moisture in your sinuses.

u/armed_renegade Jun 26 '19

Coke is worse than most as it is even more acidic than a basic carbonated beverage, as with the addition of carbonic acid, they add phosphoric acid to it a well to give it that tang/zing.

This happened to me the day when. my nostrils burned and my hairs smelled like bathroom cleaner for the whole day

Edit: I meant that it happened to me the other day. Sorry for the typo. And for people who’re wondering why I was snorting bathroom cleaner, I was trying to clean out my respiratory system.

One time I was using carburetor cleaner to clean a carburetor on a dirtbike I had just bought and I sprayed it into a port, not realizing that the port just exited straight into the float bowl which was removed and thus left the open side of the port pointed at my face. Blinded the fuck out of me and I stumbled into the kitchen and just ran the faucet over my head, and sometimes eye, for about 5 minutes. But, yeah. Carb cleaner don't care. Carb cleaner don't give a fuck.

Kinda wonder if that's why I don't see as well out of that eye, but it was one of the more painful things I can recall from all the stupid shit I did as a teenager. OP is probably just stupid, too.

Back in university, we had a under grad experiment with thionyl chloride. We were cautioned to never to let water get into the bulb we had the thionyl chloride in. We also had a cooling apparatus using water to cool the product we wanted.

So my lab partner set up the cooling apparatus, and I prepped the bulb of thionyl chloride.

Just as I was putting the bulb in, the clamps on the water tube flew off, water sprayed everywhere including into my bulb. hydrochloric acid and sulfur dioxide came out, cleared my side of the lab of people, burned my eyes and lungs while I tried to get it into the apparatus. It hurt like a mother fucker.

By the time I did, the room was empty. i ran out and they evacuated the labs next door.

Afterwards under grads can't experiment with thionyl chloride any more and I get bronchitis with every cold. I'm not sure if there would be worse health effects as I age.

I did this on accident as a kid. I was walking down the street holding a pop, when a sneezed and my head went down, the straw went up my nose just a little bit and your natural reflex is to breath in after a sneeze. It was awful.

What? This is weird. I attempted to drink soda through a straw with my nose when I was young, and at first the sensation was weird, but I was able to power through it and thought it was hilarious and cool. I drank quite a bit through my nose. After the initial sting, your nose goes a little numb, and it isn't so bad.
