      This is a very interesting question! It would probably depend on quite a few things…
      What if the wire was plugged in and had a large voltage on it when you tried to eat it? You’d get a pretty nasty shock from that…
      How chunky is the wire? You’d probably hurt your teeth trying to bite into a really thick one (the plastic insulation isn’t typically made for eating!)
      And if you overcame all of that, would you really want plastic and metal in your digestive system?!
      Moral of the story… I wouldn’t recommend trying it! 🙂
