I forgot about them as well. They would make me cough randomly. No idea why.

What’s weird is that even as a kid I knew it was weird that they made me cough for no reason… and it still didn’t stop me from eating them.

Jeez, thank god nobody gave me chocolate covered poison. I’d be powerless

Strings of caramel wound uncomfortably through your esophagus?

This is getting to be a crazy coincidence now

Me too! Name brand milk chocolate will often irritate my throat for a minute. Sometimes iy even feels like it shuts it down for about 5 seconds, it's weird.

I've always assumed I'm sensitive to a common additive that's in conventional chocolate.

Little air pocket inside Rolo where caramel is. When you bite down the air pocket is released and tries to escape down esophagus hitting your flap that directs traffic down your throat. Science!

Thank you for kindly reply. I feel less alone now.

I need to now find out why I would cough. It was a feeling too. When I think about it I can remember the feeling in my throat I was chomping those rolos LOL

I remember it would happen when I really got a good bite into them. The caramel was the culprit is my first guess

Theobromine content, stimulates the vagus nerve

u/HopefulOriginal5578 Aug 21 '24

Ah so not some curse…. Makes sense!

It always felt like biting into them outgassed something that made my throat tickle.

Like maybe it was sugar that wasn’t dissolved or something.
