In the bustling atmosphere of the Lunar New Year, a rare incident happened to a Ngo family in Sichuan province (China).

While the younger brother's pocket, she saw the “candy” packed into bars, looks like the type of milk candy she had eaten in a young age, so she took out one by one, put it in her mouth and used her strength to bite .
The cannon was closed in the blister, causing the woman to mistake the milk candy.
As a result, right after biting, the cannon exploded in her mouth. The explosion made the whole family sitting watching TV startled. Everyone even got up to see what just happened.
“The first feeling was surprise, then the numbness and the smell of gunpowder strongly,” Ngo recounted the moment the cannon exploded in her mouth.
Despite being swollen and hemorrhage in her mouth, luckily Ms. Ngo did not face serious injuries. After feeling swollen, she was able to eat and drink and hygiene normally.
