I lived [@Gunther]'s life for two months when I was given roughly 10 minutes to eat. But aside from the occasional rush here and there, I never had to finish my food that rapidly after the fact. 

In 2007 at the ripe age of 20 I was distracted by the Olympics on TV and I accidentally allowed a Spanish lime to get lodged in my throat and I nearly died. Like, it was extremely close as according to my mother and aunt I was turning blue. Luckily I managed to swallow it down after a big gulp. My family would have witnessed my death as they didn't think to perform the heimlich but instead watched me struggle to catch my breath.

So yes, ever since I've made sure to chew my food and I'm extra careful with those damn seeds.
