I tried the banana, bread, soda ....only thing worked was to eat a spoon of peanut butter. I ate it slow coating my throat. I felt it move and I cough and I had 2 a pieces of that annoying husk dislodge...come out! Then I finished it off with a good glass of water! ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS... Try PEANUT BUTTER!
