• Condom-snorting challenge latest fad to go viral online in America
    38 replies, posted
Move over, Tide pods. Condom snorting, apparently, is the latest fad making its rounds on social media in the United States. The challenge, an old one which has recently made a reappearance on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, requires the person to snort a condom into his nose and pull it out from his mouth. The bizarre challenge has been around for at least 11 years - there is a 2007 YouTube clip of the challenge being performed. Forbes said in an article on Saturday that snorting condoms poses several risks - including getting it stuck in your nose or throat, with the risk of suffocation. Newsweek on Saturday quoted a report last week by San Antonio-based TV station KABB, which said a state education specialist visited schools in the area to brief parents on "dangerous trends" such as the condom-snorting challenge. Mr Stephen Enriquez said in the KABB report: "These days our teens are doing everything for likes, views and subscribers. As graphic as it is, we have to show parents because teens are going online looking for challenges and recreating them." However, there have not been any official statistics on how many have taken up the condom-snorting challenge. http://www.straitstimes.com/world/condom-snorting-challenge-latest-fad-to-go-viral-online-in-america?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&xtor=CS1-10
I hope this won't kill as many people at least.
It's to late for the condoms, these guys are already fucked in the head.
this was a thing already on vine and it usually ended up with people coughing hard and almost swallowing the condom
This just feels like a millennial hit piece.
"Did you bring a condom?" Blows his nose
As someone with chronic sinus problems, I've had the wonderful experience of having a balloon shoved into my nose and then inflated to try and open the passageway. Why anyone would do something similar to that for fun is beyond me.
"did you bring protection?" "*sneezes* sure did."
Knife Swallowing challenge next?
Hard to say, this is more or less the same as getting a balloon stuck in your trachea, only it's much more durable. Detergent pods at least usually caused you to vomit them back up immediately.
Nose fetish.
@Scooby you're relevant again
I get sick of these over-40s pretending they weren't fucking stupid in their teens and 20s as well. The only difference now is that they didn't have the internet to post them being fucking morons, so they get on their high-horse because they don't have a track record of being stupid in the same way as young people. "Millennials" are only criticsed so heavily because their actions are more visible than any generation before it, and even then, so much of it is just this "back in my day" nostalgia whingeing.
I believe this has been around as long as there has been condoms. It's one of those really disgusting party tricks. My oldest sister had a guy in her class doing it when she was in secondary school. (That was around 1998-2000).
Honestly fuck this article it literally only serves as a wankbait material for over 40s like St.Baron said. Nobody is doing this except a select few but because you can collect videos of 50+ teens doing it its suddenly a new epidemic that dumbass kids are doing. Fuck off correlating your personal biases and hatred of 'kids these days' to some dumb viral trend you asswipes.
I like more fuel for old fucks to downplay young political movements by saying "hahah yeah right, your generation is doing X" or variants of it.
Hmmmmmm I think I've seen this article a few times before. I definitely remember reacting to the gross image of someone yanking a condom out of their throat more than once.
my dad's friend and his friend used to sneak into two barns facing each other from a few hundred yards away and shoot shotguns loaded with birdshot at eachother
tbh i get what your saying but i never ate tide pods or snorted condoms
Stupidity isn't always equal and not everyone does dumb shit as a teenager. People who have reached middle age probably weren't so dumb as to drink laundry detergent.
Millennials are pretty dumb but at least we didn't eat lead paint chips
Someone is gonna lose a condom and forget about it until one day their breath smells like death and there's fetid black discharge when they blow their nose.
most people didn't and don't, regardless of generation
Teens are criticized way too harshly. Sure they do some stupid shit sometimes, but they're teenagers and their brains are still developing and their hormones are all fucked up and they're still building life experiences. Everyone was like that once.
Team Fortress 2 (2007)
Actually, seeing as nobody bothered to really do anything about the lead problem in the US until the fuckin' 80s it's entirely possible some millenials have eaten lead-based paint chips. Hell, there's still disclaimers on houses for sale here that were built in the 50s and even the 70s that lead-based paint may be present.
I dunno, it was probably a lot more disgusting (and difficult) back when people were using literal pig intestines
You call it disgusting, most just called it "vaudeville".
You guys might be disappointe kids are snorting condoms, I was just relieved they weren't used.
Who says they weren't?
