I saw a news report quite a while back about a teen who thought he could impress his friends by biting into a cartridge primer, thinking it would make a loud pop like small plastic bubble wrap. It took out many of his teeth and part of his jaw.
The investigating sheriff said something like, "I can't imagine why anybody would want to do that."
Edited to add:
I looked for verification of this story. All I could find at first was an article saying it was impossible to ignite a primer by biting into it.
Then I found an article that claims there were two separate events where that did happen. The photo in the article is so grotesque that I'm not sure if this is real. Open at your own risk.
NSFW gory
