Nelie - YEAH!! I found someone else in this world that swallows a green snake!! I've been using it for a couple of years now and haven't choked on food since....knock on wood.I know it's a temporary fix but right now, she's the only girl in the bar.That's why I'm looking under every rock to find a better solution.If you or anyone finds one,please share that info and I will do the same.
