I Tried the “Pear of Anguish” Device from the 1600s 😭

This is the pear of anguish.And just last week, I covered the devil's cage, which I thought was the most brutal punishment ever, until I found this.So here's why the pear could be the worst thing to happen to you.

The device was supposedly invented 400 years ago by a ruthless outlaw named Paolioli.And in the night, he'd sneak into your home, tie you up, and place the pear in your mouth.And by cranking the handle, tooth things would happen.First, it was supposed to scare you into telling him where your valuables are, and once you did tell him, he'd fully expand it.But historians debate if the device was ever actually used.
