A word of caution about the Cinnamon Challenge, kids: It might just kill you.
A new study to be published Monday suggests that attempts to complete the Cinnamon Challenge—a YouTube-originating stunt that calls for someone to record themselves trying to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon without any welcome supplements like water—can result in chronic choking, inflamed, and scarred esophageal tissue and, potentially, serious lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Half as hardcore as the bounce challenge where you curl in a ball and roll off a building and see how high you bounce!!
These people are pretty 'challenged' indeed.

To be honest though, putting cinnamon in your mouth wouldn't strike most people as dangerous. The notion of accidentally inhaling powder doesn't seem like a danger when kids have been eating sherbet for decades and decades
Natural selection at work!

Maybe it's because I used to be quite asthmatic and it makes me more aware that being unable to breathe fucking [I]sucks[/I].

A 2 hour video of someone sitting in a chair, and at the very last 15 seconds, they stand up and run into the chair, trip, and break their neck.

So the last man standing is the winner? ...or are they the loser?
Good.
The study that apparently is yet to be published was done on rats where the researcher made them sniff cinnamon and watch them age. I do not want to jump to any conclusions without reading the paper first, but I feel the article is being dramatic as hell. If sniffing cinnamon once is all it takes to develop fibrosis, there are bigger issues here than just a bunch of kids trying the cinnamon challenge. I would also like to learn more about the amount of cinnamon the rats had to inhale and the surface area of their lungs compared to human lungs.
I mean cinnamon challenge is pretty stupid, but the whole thing seems exaggerated.
I can get dumb ratings without actually using my brain.
This is a true challenge.
Let god sort them out.
