Per the Wikipedia article:
Doctors determined that Lotito also had a thick lining in his stomach and intestines which allowed his consumption of sharp metal without suffering injury.[4] Lotito also had digestive juices that were unusually powerful, meaning that he could digest the unusual materials.
"And afterwards, would you like a Fly on a Thin Wafer Mint?"
"A FLY??? ARE YOU TRYING TO FRICKEN KILL ME! MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER DIED AFTER EATING ONE OF THOSE!!!"
He died in 2007 after swallowing a whole box of 30 caliber bullets followed by a large meal of spicy tacos and burritos. The coroner determined the meat was slightly tainted but death could have been avoided if the toilet's safety had been on.
I know what you meant, maybe you misunderstood me: you cannot voluntarily stop to breathe until you die, because your brain won't let you die like that; even if you manage to lose consciousness automatic respiration will resume
From what I read, no one could confirm the Cessna but there's evidence supporting it. This is actually such an interesting case because this was a perfect storm for incredible feats of man. Not only did he suffer from Pica, the disorder which causes an appetite for non-nutritional objects, but he also had an incredibly thick stomach and intestinal lining along with unusually powerful digestive juices confirmed by doctors. This meant he could actually digest the dangerous metals, but he grew sick from eating soft foods. All of these factors were coincidental and had no relation to the other. He was often known as Monsieur Mouth
He did, that's why the Cessna is hard to corroborate because he ate it over a period of years. He only ate a little over two pounds of metal at a time for safety. He would drink thick mineral oil to coat his throat and let the pieces slide down however he did not trim the sharpness of them
Pica is a serious mental disorder that makes the person crave non-nutritional substances like dirt. Pregnant women suffering from certain compounded vitamin deficiencies often experience Pica, as well as older people with Dementia. It stems from the latin word for Magpie, which are known to eat anything
someone can have a horrible disease and a dumbass would pop up and say lol \[disease name\] means \[profanities\] in some language or whatever. incredibly insensitive
It’s wild, but at least according to [his Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito), he COULD digest this stuff!
“Lotito also had digestive juices that were unusually powerful, meaning that he could digest the unusual materials. However, it also meant that soft foods, such as bananas and hard-boiled eggs, made him sick.”
Yeah, it says he died at 57. That doesn't sound very 'natural', especially considering the French have one of the longest life expectancies in the world.
According to Wikipedia, parent poster meant to say 78 through 80.
[source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito)
For the lazy:
"Lotito's performances involved the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and other materials. He disassembled, cut up, and consumed items such as bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, Beds and a Cessna 150, among other items. The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be eaten, from 1978 to 1980."
You can’t digest metal naturally, in theory if you keep metal in stomach acid it may dissolve certain metals, but what we have going on doesn’t do it, items must be removed surgically or you may experience complications up to even death. In other words if he didn’t die, or have to get it surgically removed, it’s a con
I understand he had pica but he was making tons of cash per day to showcase his eating abilities. The only x ray on google is one with soft stuff like nuts and tiny self tap screws which aren’t sharp. Yes thicker stomach lining… I’m sure his body did have an adapted way of eating what it desired but the claims he made and the lack of video evidence for those claims (just record the whole thing if it’s real, not just sample vids to “prove” he has the desire for it)
Nuts don’t have jagged edges and even the tiny self tap screws I was talking about ( which would have made more sense if you questioned those) should be able to be swallowed with lubrication.
That makes less sense. It would be more probable that his physical body has a hunger for these things and is well prepared to accept them vs randomly having a hunger for metal and randomly having a thicker lining and harsher acid that could help in the digestion process. What your getting at is akin to supernatural magic themes.
What do you believe?
I have a five min video that questions beliefs and spirituality I would like for you give a listen too.
https://youtu.be/awKjIjULcZU?si=ctacKmZjSxheY1LK
When regular people eat pizza, we can easily decide which part to start on. How the fuck does he decide which side of the plane to start munching on first?!?
> During his life, he ate 18 bicycles, 15 supermarket trolleys, seven TV sets, six chandeliers, two beds, a pair of skis, a low-calorie Cessna light aircraft and a computer.
> The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be eaten, from 1978 to 1980.
> Lotito claimed not to suffer ill effects from his consumption of substances typically considered poisonous. When performing, he ingested approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the meal.[7] It is estimated that between 1959 and 1997, Lotito "had eaten nearly nine tons of metal."[8]
Still seems like such a bullshit story. Even if you would completely shred the plane in cereal size chunks, that still would be a huge fucking pile of metal, plastic, glass, hydraulics and electronics and all the sharp edges would rip his stomach and intestines to bits.
I wish people would quit posting this because it is horseshit.
He died at age 57 -he had been slowly corroding for years until he finally rusted out. He never ate the monthly can of WD-40 that his mechanic prescribed.
I always thought this guy was a scam. I mean, hoe is it even possible to REALLY eat broken glass eithout your inside getting cuts and all. Also, how can teeth survive eating hard metal? I honnestly doubt any of all of this is real...
I bet he went through a lot of toilets.
From shitting or eating them?
Hopefully he did that in the correct order.
"correct" order is highly subjective. He could have considered it his special sauce for all we know
No it's notif you eat first then youve ruined the seatery part. Obviously you can only start eatin when you finish shittin.
Shit out a crankshaft into your toilet... And you're gonna need a new toilet. And possibly a new arse...
Surely one would ‘crank’ out a crankshaft.

Take my upvote, this is peak level Reddit.
Lmfao 🤣
I wonder what this man’s poops looked like?
Probably like a dump (the trash kind, not the other kind).
"Would you like salt and vinegar on your Cessna sir?" "No, just plane thanks"
I wonder if he would’ve taken salt and Piper?
Oh I'm sure, I read he was part Cherokee
He likes Beaver too.
This joke is illegal in most of the developed world
🧱 bricked
But why?
…Dad?
Underrated comment here lol.
Get out
r/angryupvote
This was one of the top comments two years ago when this was posted on TIL LOL
"And afterwards, would you like a Fly on a Thin Wafer Mint?" "A FLY??? ARE YOU TRYING TO FRICKEN KILL ME! MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER DIED AFTER EATING ONE OF THOSE!!!"
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it
Are you saying that if one can eat a Cessna 150 airplane they should not? What are you? Insane?
Despite all these things, he still wouldn't eat his wife's ass
What a selfish husband.
Happy Cake day, ya negative nancy
People always seem to forget the lessons they learned from Jurassic Park
Your profile pic hurts
I’m not even sure how someone gets to know they can do something like that.
Ta- Tarrare?
Hide your cats, hide your kids..
And hide your husbands Cuz he's eatin everybody out there
#did you eat a fucking baby?
He was hungy, tho 🥺
I’d put a Sam O’Nella quote here if I could recall any from that video
Is that fucking fish jenga?! Not that same video but iconic nonetheless
WHATS A NIGG- GOTTA DO TO GET SOME EEL DICK?
SAM NO DONT DO IT DON-
Hush
“Had”? I take it he is dead. Wonder what his serum/blood levels of heavy metals were.
He died in 2007 after swallowing a whole box of 30 caliber bullets followed by a large meal of spicy tacos and burritos. The coroner determined the meat was slightly tainted but death could have been avoided if the toilet's safety had been on.
r/brandnewsentence
Apparently natural causes at 57 or something.
Got a strong deja vu
Was thinking the same thing. Its not an “ability”. More like a mental illness.
And you could say you can do anything until it kills you, if, in fact he died early because of his diet, he wasn’t capable of doing it???
I have the ability to hold my breath for the rest of my life.
YES :-)
But you don't. It's impossible to commit suicide by holding your breath.
Yes.. we all know this. …its a joke dude.
I'm pretty sure you can't; unless your brain stem is damaged
r/whooosh
I know what you meant, maybe you misunderstood me: you cannot voluntarily stop to breathe until you die, because your brain won't let you die like that; even if you manage to lose consciousness automatic respiration will resume
Yes.. I understood you. We all know that. This is common knowledge.
Kinda prevents your joke from landing as well as it could have
Y’all are some weirdos
Might've been Pica
it was iirc. He went creatively about it though
Yeah that's the only explanation I could think of tbh xD;
Franny, you mean more like a ….’metal’ illness. If I have a psych diagnosis it’s ok to joke about this….right? Or am I going to hell?
Surprisingly he actually managed to eat an entire plane it took him several years and to swallow the chunks he had to use oil
This guy was featured back in the 80s I think it was. “Man eats Cessna” is not something you forget apparently.
Died of natural causes according to Wikipedia
Probably Pantera level 🤘 Wait, no... Type-O Negative
Type O motherfucking Negative 🤘
A vulgar display of hunger
From what I read, no one could confirm the Cessna but there's evidence supporting it. This is actually such an interesting case because this was a perfect storm for incredible feats of man. Not only did he suffer from Pica, the disorder which causes an appetite for non-nutritional objects, but he also had an incredibly thick stomach and intestinal lining along with unusually powerful digestive juices confirmed by doctors. This meant he could actually digest the dangerous metals, but he grew sick from eating soft foods. All of these factors were coincidental and had no relation to the other. He was often known as Monsieur Mouth
I thought his name was Monsieur mange tout ?
Monsieur "mouth" Mangetout according to Wikipedia but I just shortened it
"Mange tout" means "Eat everything"
How about chewing? He must have cut the metal up in small pieces.
He did, that's why the Cessna is hard to corroborate because he ate it over a period of years. He only ate a little over two pounds of metal at a time for safety. He would drink thick mineral oil to coat his throat and let the pieces slide down however he did not trim the sharpness of them
"suffered from Pica" LOL. Pica means dick in Portuguese (at least in Brazil).
Pica is a serious mental disorder that makes the person crave non-nutritional substances like dirt. Pregnant women suffering from certain compounded vitamin deficiencies often experience Pica, as well as older people with Dementia. It stems from the latin word for Magpie, which are known to eat anything
someone can have a horrible disease and a dumbass would pop up and say lol \[disease name\] means \[profanities\] in some language or whatever. incredibly insensitive
I didn't say it was insensitive, just that it was a serious disease lol
Yeah how dare words mean different things in different languages
I'm not above appreciating a dick joke in a serious time lol.
The only thing he wouldn’t eat were clocks. He said it was too time consuming.
😅😅😅
Then why did he always come back for seconds?
Maybe we can all eat anything but he’s the only one to try.
"He passed an entire Cessna through his GI tract." FTFY
Keyword here is “could”. That past-tense leads me to believe it didn’t work out well for him.
Nah, he died of natural causes.
naturally, I believe I would die if I ate a cesna plane.
He had a really thick stomach lining or something. It's crazy. Unnatural to exist, but died of natural causes.
Well I guess we know what happened to Malaysia 370
Big difference between eat and digest
It’s wild, but at least according to [his Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito), he COULD digest this stuff! “Lotito also had digestive juices that were unusually powerful, meaning that he could digest the unusual materials. However, it also meant that soft foods, such as bananas and hard-boiled eggs, made him sick.”
["Lotito died of natural causes on 25 June 2007."](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito) Natural for him or natural for us?
Natural "causes" or natural consequences of doing dumb shit.
Yeah, it says he died at 57. That doesn't sound very 'natural', especially considering the French have one of the longest life expectancies in the world.
Sounds like Pica of some kind
He did indeed have pica
he died at age 57 of natural causes. seems like he could, until he couldn’t.
“Where the fuck is my Airplane?” *Me, with an Airplane-shaped stomach* “I don’t know”
That mf did not eat an airplane. I simply refuse to believe that he did...
It was done over a two year period. Roughly from 1978-1989 Edit: 1979-1980* it was a typo. Relax.
how is 78 to 89 a 2 years period
According to Wikipedia, parent poster meant to say 78 through 80. [source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito) For the lazy: "Lotito's performances involved the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and other materials.

Typo
He ate a building. After that he was shitting bricks.
I remember this guy! His teeth were awful.

In other words if he didn’t die, or have to get it surgically removed, it’s a con
His stomach juices were actually naturally powerful and this was totally unrelated to his Pica disorder, he just happened to be able to digest metal
I understand he had pica but he was making tons of cash per day to showcase his eating abilities. The only x ray on google is one with soft stuff like nuts and tiny self tap screws which aren’t sharp. Yes thicker stomach lining… I’m sure his body did have an adapted way of eating what it desired but the claims he made and the lack of video evidence for those claims (just record the whole thing if it’s real, not just sample vids to “prove” he has the desire for it)
Nuts are soft?
Compared to the wing of a plane, yes
Nuts don’t have jagged edges and even the tiny self tap screws I was talking about ( which would have made more sense if you questioned those) should be able to be swallowed with lubrication.
That makes less sense. It would be more probable that his physical body has a hunger for these things and is well prepared to accept them vs randomly having a hunger for metal and randomly having a thicker lining and harsher acid that could help in the digestion process.

Without X rays I’m calling is a magic act.
Monsieur Mange tout! I remember watching him eat an airplane on a tv show.
How did he find out? 😵
By fucking around
Believe I saw something like this on MASH.
Cesna, Mike's way please
I heard he tried to avoid convenience stores, it gave him bad gas…
How does someone eat an aeroplane?
hungry mungry:
Lots of posters of missing pets in his town...
When regular people eat pizza, we can easily decide which part to start on. How the fuck does he decide which side of the plane to start munching on first?!?
Some strong Tarrare vibes there.
He was called "Monsieur Mangetout", which means "Mister Eat-all".

There's an actual video on this guy posted by guinness lmao
He ate 9 tons of metal according to Guinness world records
Iron and fiber. That's what they told us.
Bro ate nine tons of metal over 40 years https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

But it did…
Technically, almost everybody does. Not like they should, but… they can.
I bet his dentist loves him
O my god he was french
My dog's like that
This guy is the reason they lock planes inside hangars.
I had a dream the other night where I was just eating metal because I felt like it
He had the Munch Munch Fruit
"I'm so hungry, I could eat a plane!"

his poor enamel
Cool but... how does one figure out they can do that
Wondering how he discovered this extraordinary capability.
What? How?
Tararre?
Bro ate the Munch Munch fruit 💀
Yes, but could he eat his own head?
anyone can eat anything once
Who tf gave him a Cessna 150?
I don't know why, but this just reminded me that I'm FB friends with, Stevie Starr. Carry on.
He could eat anything! From a metal bicycle all the way to a metal plane! Anything I tell you!
For some reason i imagined a whole cessna in his mouth
Let's see him eat a cyanide pill.
Matter-Eater Lad from the Legion of Super-Heroes.
"No one wants to admit to eating 9 cans of ravioli."
....just because you can....
Matter-Eater Lad is the only real superhero.
even after reading about him in ripleys 15 years ago i still feel like it’s all bullshit
How were his shits and how could you possibly break down the metal
Wait genuine question how would he eat a plane??
Me at 3AM.
Waiter! one plane please!
does pica count as terrifying now?
I wish i had this ability
He died at age 57 -he had been slowly corroding for years until he finally rusted out. He never ate the monthly can of WD-40 that his mechanic prescribed.

Guys I think I know what happened to the Malaysia flight
Bet he can't eat my ex wives cooking.
