Man accidentally swallows Apple AirPod – it still worked, even in his stomach!

“A Taiwanese man was stunned to find that his Apple AirPod still worked after he swallowed the device and was forced to dig it out of a toilet,” Tim Stickings reports for The Daily Mail.

MacDailyNews Take: Uh, yuck.

“Ben Hsu fell asleep with the pair of wireless headphones still in his ears but woke up unable to find one of them,” Stickings reports. “Using an iPhone tracking feature he discovered the device was still in his room and heard its beeping sound following him around.”

MacDailyNews Take: Uh, yuck, again. At a railway station, no less. Good thing it wasn’t in a port-a-potty!
