LMAO! Sorry you had a bad experiences, but I will remember that "chew chew chew" is only a shortened form of what I should really be doing.

Lessons it took me way too long to learn:

If I already feel uncomfortable, I SHOULDN'T swallow the food in my mouth.

If I couldn't eat the food a half hour ago, I probably will have even more trouble eating it now.

It won't kill me to just stick to liquids for a while.

While a few bandsters come on here and say they have NEVER pb'd, it happens. A lot. It's your band rapping you up side the head and saying, "I told you not to eat that!"

If you can still tell what the food is that's in your mouth, you probably haven't chewed it enough.

I'm still learning . . .
