Thanks for the chicken dance!

THANK YOU to whoever posted a few wks ago about doing the chicken dance to get lodged/stuck food to go down! :thumbup:

I went out to eat last week and took a big bite of bread without thinking (too busy talking). It was stuck! I wasn't sliming or anything, but I could feel it painfully sitting there. Normally if I shift around a little, it'll go down, but no luck. I excused myself, went into the restroom and put my hands under my armpits and started waving them like a chicken. Maybe 10 times later, I could feel it sliding down.

I couldn't believe it worked, but it did!

So anyone out there who gets stuck, give it a try. It really does work.

LOL, I just had a mental image of standing in Ladies Room doing this (the stalls are so small) and someone walking in....

I will def try this if I get stuck...

Tried this and it did nothing for me.

That is because you forgot to sing the sing....Nananana clap clap clap:w00t:

I'll remember that next time LOL.

Better make sure i am well out of earshot of anyone else or they may send the men in the white coats.................

I posted it a few weeks ago it sounded crazy but it works, had to pass it along. Someone told me at a support group meeting about it.

I've tried it multiple times with no such luck :thumbup:

It does not work everytime for me either, but when it does I am happy for the knowledge.

I was eating too fast - don't know if i was "STUCK" but I was VERY uncomfortable. Did the chicken thing and it worked for me!
