In the name of science, six United Kingdom and Australia-based pediatricians agreed to swallow a Lego head to determine how long it would take for their bodies to pass them. The health care professionals revealed the results of their study last week in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health.

The experiment, they said, was to help parents get a better idea of how long it would likely take their child to pass a small foreign object — such as a coin or Lego piece — as kids are notorious for swallowing things they aren’t supposed to.

In a separate post, researchers said they used a "variety of techniques" to retrieve the Lego head, ranging from tongue depressors, gloves and even chopsticks. In other words, "no turd was left unturned," they wrote.

By the end, they determined it took roughly one to three days to pass the object, with an average time of 1.7 days. None of the doctors had complications after ingesting the Lego — though one doctor still hadn’t passed his Lego head after two weeks.
