Could you tell me what happens if i aspirate candy (gobstopper)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obstruction of breat: If you get a candy piece in your windpipe it will irritate and start coughing but if big enough may obstruct breathing - a good time for the heimlich maneuver. Candy and peanuts are common reasons for medical bronchoscopy to remove such things from the windpipe. Be careful.
