Mylee was laughing at Oga’s Cantina, Disneyland’s Star Wars bar, when the second drink of the night changed her mood.
She ordered the Fuzzy Tauntaun, a 21,50-dollar cocktail with peach vodka, liqueur, orange and tangerine juice, and a foam called “Buzz Button Tingling”.
The foam is made with buzz button flowers, which contain spilanthol: an ingredient that causes a brief tingling and numbness in the lips and tongue. But amid the laughter, the young woman inhaled some of that foam.
In the video, which has already surpassed 4,4 million views, she can be seen bringing her hand to her mouth while her friends, who were joking at first, bring her water to calm her down. “I couldn’t breathe”, she says in the voiceover, describing needles in her throat and mounting anxiety.
Many users think it may have been a laryngospasm, although that’s only speculation in the comments, with no diagnosis.
The bar’s menu includes a warning about the foam’s effects, and some media outlets covering the park attribute it to an accident. Other users are asking Disney to remove the drink and take responsibility so it doesn’t happen to anyone else again.
