A young woman choked to death on a marshmallow after trying to copy a challenge on TV's Love Island, an inquest heard.
Mia Austin, 30, had seen Love Island contestants challenge each other to fit as many marshmallows in their mouths as possible.
But the inquest was told Mia suffered from "locked-in syndrome" - and was unable to cough up the sweet.
Former travel agent Mia was on a shopping trip during a holiday in Wales with her mum when she wanted her to buy marshmallows.
Her mum Carol told the inquest: "Apparently on Love Island they did a marshmallow challenge, you put marshmallows in the mouth.
"That's what she wanted to do with two friends."

Perfectly good waste. Surely, there was a better way to utilize her “locked-in syndrome”.
All I’m saying is that kind of attitude is not how a normal American patriot acts. It’s how liberals act.
People can try to argue with this point, but they can’t demonstrate how laughing at another person’s death is in line with the values of this country.
And by the way, social Darwinism is as low IQ as biological Darwinism.
Now the game is to find a phone booth.
