| Chen Guangbiao swallowing liquid from fire extinguisher |
A Chinese millionaire and philanthropist made headlines after he publicly swallowed liquid from a fire extinguisher.
Chen Guangbiao sprayed the liquid in his mouth to show everyone that his new product is non-toxic and completely safe.
It was indeed an excellent PR move as there is no better way to prove a person's confidence in their own product than to put it into their own body.
Guangbiao was at the training center for disaster relief in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, to promote some of his new equipment for disaster relief.
In an attempt to show the benefits of the fire extinguisher as being a "green" product, non-toxic and harmless, and to prove that his product does not leave a burning sensation if a person accidentally gets it on their face, Guangbiao sprayed the liquid directly into his mouth.
The stunt seems to have been very convincing, as one of the people at the event decided to give it a try. He then agreed that it was not bad. “It was not too bad, in fact it tasted like a herb,” the person said.
