The Magic Touch

By sticking a finger or other small item (like a feather) down their throat, a person can gag and vomit. There is some history here: in ancient Rome, the rich sometimes had huge feasts with a wide variety of food. If a Roman wanted to continue eating but was too full, he visited the vomitorium. This was an area to barf, and servants would clean up the mess. A philosopher from that time named Seneca once wrote that the Romans “vomit so that they may eat and eat so that they may vomit.”
