The failed early experiments of Dr Pepper, Esq.

In 1849 A Man Learned The Hard Way Why You Don't Pee Into A Bottle Containing Potassium


"A few months ago I was called in great haste to a young gentleman, who was in a most ludicrous yet painful condition," the author of the case report published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal wrote.

"I found, on examination, a bottle, holding about a pint, with a short neck and small mouth, firmly attached to his body by the penis, which was drawn through the neck and projected into the bottle, being swollen and purple."

The young man's penis had fit through the neck of the bottle, though the opening was only around (brace yourself) 1.9 centimeters (0.75 inches) in diameter. Given how swollen the penis was inside the bottle, extraction was impossible.”

 

Back in those days, when faced with a situation like that, the only solution was castration, and without anesthesia, since ether was only just invented.

After all, breaking the bottle would be wasting a good glass bottle, and they didn’t waste bottles or have wussy ideas such as recycling back then.

Major props on the thread title.

 

Urine luck. Or in this case, bad luck.

 

The guy must've been hung like a needle. Three-quarters of an inch?
