Children frequently ingest foreign objects

From the Journal of Paediatriacs and Child Health: "Children frequently ingest coins (generally with minimal reported side effects); however, the ingestion of other items has been subject to less academic study. Parental concern regarding ingestion applies across a range of materials. In this study, we aimed to determine typical transit times for another commonly swallowed object: a Lego figurine head."

I ate a penny, as a kid. Vomited it up on the way to hospital.
I also ate a paperclip, which on the x-ray was determined to be in a slightly-open configuration.
My parents had a rough week. My FART score for that object was more like 6 or 7, I think.
