A woman in Dover, Delaware, inadvertently swallowed one of her AirPods after mixing it up with her vitamins. After four days, she has been unable to recover it, prompting a massive following of concerned viewers, wanting the woman and the AirPod to be reunited once again.
The woman in question is known online as Spot Me Bestie. She regularly shares her workout routines and nutrition advice online. And although the clip attached above might be considered out of style for her, the circumstances of her accident certainly match her content. The video garnered 1.1 million views, 136,300 likes, and more than 2,200 comments, becoming her biggest ever.
Bestie explained that her dilemma started when she put a “bunch of vitamins” in her hand while going to her car. On the way, she found one of her AirPods on her counter. Thinking she would need it, she grabbed that, too.
Since her outfit didn’t have any pockets at all, she decided to down the entire handful of vitamins with a big chug of Celsius. The Delaware woman then pointed out to herself that there was a “very big pill” on her mouth. Still, she swallowed it, thinking it was just a regular, albeit huge vitamin.
It was not. Five minutes, while driving, Bestie was alerted that her AirPods were connected to her phone. Of course, she wasn’t wearing her AirPods at the time. And at that exact moment, she realized what had ocurred.
“Oh, oh, oh, no way, no way. AirPods in belly. Um, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool,” a nervous Bestie said.
A 4-Day Wait
Immediately, she called Poison Control. She was told that the AirPod had to pass naturally, and the Delaware woman estimated that, at the bare minimum, such a process could take two days.
Day by day, Bestie documented living with an AirPod in her belly, even sharing how she worked out with the Apple device inside her. Eventually, she reached the fourth day of her wait. Still, no AirPod to be found.
A defeated bestie said, in the follow-up clip, “Honestly, I’m over it.” She then showed some assorted cutlery, nitrile gloves, and magnesium. Bestie added, “Taking things into my own hands.” It is still unclear what the purpose of the cutlery really is.
Reactions To Swallowed AirPod
The video sparked multiple responses.
Most users found Bestie’s predicament hilarious. One viewer said, “Wait, play music.” Another one asked, “Putting the AirPod in your ear wasn’t an option?” A third one added, “Play the find my sound, see if we can hear it.”
Other viewers continued to have fun with the Delaware women, with one person writing, “When they say listen to your gut, this is not what they mean.” Another one added, “Nah, this can’t end. Swallow the other one! RUN IT BACK!“
In another update, Bestie shared that she was in urgent care. Should the AirPod exit her body, she will definitely update all her anxious followers.
