Teen Eats Fetal Pig Parts On a Dare

Posted by samzenpus on from the could-use-more-salt dept.

A 15-year-old boy proved that there is virtually nothing that a teenager won't eat, when he consumed fetal pig testicles during his biology class, on a dare. The student made $50 for the stunt and won a trip to the hospital, after school officials became concerned about the possible effects consuming formaldehyde soaked testicles might have on a growing young man. "It was just like swallowing a pill," said the boy, who can't be identified because of his age. "It wasn't that bad."

    Perhaps this is easier if you've been tea-bagged by a person before?

      More importantly, is he seeing anyone?

    Way to go, Mom. Natural consequences. Followed by cancer. A candidate for a Darwin Award.

      Indeed. It sounds like he didn't understand the significance of "soaked in formaldehyde." I won't go so far as to blame the teacher (clearly this is just a kid being stupid; it's his own fault), but somebody should have explained to the students that the preservatives used were carcinogenic; it sounds like he just thought it was meat...

    When I was a freshman in high school we got a guy to eat a rat liver and thigh for $20. He's not exactly a well adjusted adult so I'm going to assume it was more nature than formaldehyde that shaped him.

    From what I've heard, they've been shifting away from formaldehyde because of its carcinogenic properties. Not that eating anything soaked in preservation chemicals is healthy. But it might just be possible that these pigs weren't in formaldehyde. I doubt the teacher knows one preservative from the other.
