Green persimmons work much better. Simply biting into one causes the mouth to draw up tighter than a rusty bumper bolt making eating impossible. If by some heroic means the green persimmons are forced down the subjects stomach will immediately empty due to a natural substance in the fruit called “surgis upchuckem horriblium”.

Brings to mind memories of youth...a large, gnarled persimmon tree in the woods behind the neighborhood. Many neighborhood-kid dares were issued to bite into those green ones. Of course, it was also a pleasure to visit the tree when they were ripened and "just right".
