Like i said, i didn't know it was a challenge at the time. I went to my friends house and we were all playing games. They randomly dared me to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon for $20. So i was like “um okay can i add sugar too?“ 🤣 i didn't but that just shows how little i thought about it. Plus i dont watch youtube not do social media so i wasn't aware of the challenge. My so called friends were fcked up and new i had bad asthma at the time. Yet they laughed while i nearly died

no. this behavior demonstrates misplaced trust... as someone challenging is not thinking of the best for the other, lack of self esteem or poor judgement.

this is how people die young. Need to build self worth. I've seen girls with low confidence become very strong when supported, encouraged and build strength. true for boys too.

some people not as strong as others in disposition... so can fall prey to those who project confidence/power, but are really abusive/narcissistic or lack empathy.

  per update. clearly... those are not friends you want... and I've had some like that. they were mischevious. you put trust in wrong people. thing is... they knew and didn't educate you. they challenged you (their wrong), you accepted (your mis trust), you survived... lets eat. that's like every holiday.

Even if you don't have asthma, this can easily go bad for you. Glad you are alright!
You just can't swallow that much fine powdery stuff in my opinion, the moment you try to breathe it's over. So i think you have to swallow it immidiately, which is hard, cause it's a dry powder and a lot of it..

The key, logically, would be to use a sufficiently small spoon. I have one that I got in a cereal box that would probably do just fine; it has a capacity of maybe half of a teaspoon. (It snaps together, as it's actually in two pieces; I'm debating making some sort of fancy carrying case for it, just for the absurdist glory of having a dedicated case for a tiny plastic spoon). I mean, did it really not dawn on you that there was a REASON it was supposed to be hard? And that perhaps you should start with a smaller quantity of cinnamon and work your way up?

Has anyone successfully ignored said challenge (s) and realise how fucking stupid all this shit is?

Nothing against you Ms Asker but people need to open their eyes and realise how dumb society is right now.

Social engineering at its finest. You think you lead free lives and have free minds yet when a celebrity/challenge is called out, you bleat like a sheep and follow the craze!

For what? Just proves how you (the people) will follow anything and everything they tell you to do.

Give it time. Something will be asked of you but in your right mind you won't do it. When you see a celebrity do it, you think nothing of it and go along with it.

  Well i didn't know of this challenge at age 15 when dared to do it so im just wondering did anyone else do it
- Itsok2behapp-e
  
  1 y
  Quite a few people did, yes.
  
  All documented and uploaded to the many Social Medias.
  
  Keep an eye out for the big name celebrities and watch what they do/say.
  
  If it were anyone else, you wouldn't bat an eyelid but because it's 'them' it makes it right, does it?
  
  Use your own brain to make your own judgements.
  
  The celebrities are nothing but ordinary people yet different to the rest of us as they're puppets for their owners.

  True friends are those that care about you.
  
  Challenge or no challenge no true friend would value your life at $20.
  
  Our lives are priceless and no amount of money can bring us back once we're gone.
  
  You're older, wiser and hopefully have a group of friends within your circle that do care about you.
  
  Take care :-)

It’s really stupid to try to consume finely ground dry ingredients as there is a high chance of inhaling it. Many foods that are perfectly safe in normal quantities are toxic if concentrated. Apple seeds contain cyanide and consuming a large number can be fatal.

No I have not done that.
It helps that I don't have any social media or the mental capacity of a 5 year old.

But yes it is capable to do it.
Grant Imahara did it on the TV show Mythbusters.

If your friends are giving you these "challenges" it may be time to look for new friends.

Thinking about it the last two challenge I did were the Ice Bucket Challenge & The 22 Day Push-Up Challenge. As for The Cinnamon Challenge I haven’t done that one & for all the people who succeeded I wonder if their farts smelled like cinnamon.

This is a serious challenge for sure and what can happen is Cinnamon can go into the lungs might not cause anything serious but could cause pneumonia to develop from a foreign body going into the lungs or could be fatal?

xD no. i'm not retarded. you can die from this. it's terribly dangerous. you can easily accidentally breathe a lot of it in (cause of the way it physically reacts with saliva), which will lead to pneumonia and asphyxiation.
