You might have witnessed a exorbitant foodie gorging on a plateful but have you ever witnesses someone munching on a night bulb? If not then listen to this, a middle-aged Chinese man claims to have savored on 1500 light bulbs till date and when asked why he ate them he says, he likes their crispness.

Wang Xianjun, 54, from Sichuan Province, claims that he likes broken pieces of night bulb as snacks. He terms them as, "crispy and delicious."

Xianjun says, "I accidentally swallowed a piece of thick fish bone, but nothing happened. With curiosity, I tried several pieces of broken glasses secretly and nothing happened also."

He confesses that eating glass pieces is not his regular practice but he like including them in his breakfast sometimes.

He mulches on the glass pieces and then swallows it with a glass of water. Craving for food is a regular phenomenon but craving for glass pieces is a new habit. His claim that neither the fish bone nor the glass pieces have got stuck in his throat has taken doctors by surprise and few of them wish to check him up.
