An interesting article in this morning's newspaper caught my eye:
http://home.wi.rr.com/llmen/candy.jpg
Obviously, our friend, A. konjac is a plant of many uses.
Is anyone familiar with this product? I'm curious why it is
considered as a choking hazard as opposed to any other small candy,
such as jelly beans.

Have tried these fruit jellies , got a few flavours ;
Soursop , Mango , there must be more .
They come in bags , containing many small cups .
They are quite a mouthfull , and can be very firm .
So I could imagine a small child choking on one .

Dear Don,
I read (and I THINK I`m getting this right!) that it 'gels' when it gets
stuck in the throat, and this 'gelling' makes it difficult/impossible to
dislodge when rescue workers try the 'manouver', it stays put!
Hope that this helps.
Julius
