Has anyone successfully done the Cinnamon challenge?

[DizzyDesii]

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

[lightbulb27]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Are you talking about the cinnamon?

[lightbulb27]

general. don't know that cinnamon will kill someone, maybe if had allergy reaction.

[lightbulb27]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea thats why i dont do friends anymore. Just associates

[ElvenMr]

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..

[DizzyDesii]

Ohhhh i see

[Itsok2behapp-e]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

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]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont even watch youtube or have social media aside from GaG so lets not make assumptions. I learned the hard way and have never intentionally participated in challenges

[Itsok2behapp-e]

One should never assume.

Doesn't hurt to put the message out there for the others that'll read your post.

Be it a lesson learned. Glad you've learnt and are still here to this day.

Life is a challenge itself. Let us all get through our own no matter how hard or easy it turns out be or how long we ultimately have left.

[DizzyDesii]

🙏🙏🙏

[Itsok2behapp-e]

You can say fucked up you know just like I have here ;-)

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 :-)

[DizzyDesii]

Yea thats why i dont do friends anymore. Associates only.

[Itsok2behapp-e]

Good for you!

[NamerOfStars]

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?

[DizzyDesii]

I did not have a big spoon or a lot of cinnamon thank you very much 🙄

[Unit1]

This message was brought to you by Crypto

[DizzyDesii]

Well i was young at the time

[Unit1]

I was young too. However while i wasn't an idiot i was confused as F.

[slatyb]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Didn't know at the time

[humanearth]

That was on Doctor OZ Show

[DizzyDesii]

@humanearth didn't know that even still comes on

[lukeedmonton]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

I was 15 at the time. It didn't HELP that i didn't have social media or watch youtube because i was unaware of the challenge. And also i no longer do friends

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

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?

[DizzyDesii]

Im not surprised. I didn't know this when i was dared to do it at 15 but yea i’d never do it again

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@DizzyDesii Yeah something else how we learn 👍

[VanityFair748]

No, thanks. I have a pretty weak throat that gets irritated easily. Can immagine what cinnamone will do

[DizzyDesii]

It clogs up your throat and makes you feel buried alive

[Static_In_The_Attic]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao who thinks of that

[Static_In_The_Attic]

All I could picture is someone farting out cinnamon dust.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

No never did and wouldn't lololol
Glad you didn't die tho 🙂🙂 lol

[DizzyDesii]

It literally clogs up your throat like you're being buried alive in dirt. Scariest feeling ever

[Primrose21]

I do have an asthma. If my friends laugh put while I am already dying then I am cutting them off. You not knowing is not acceptable. But them knowing about the risks is not okay.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i no longer do friends. Cut them all off years ago

[genericname85]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea didn't know at the time

[genericname85]

yeah i figured :D i wasn't trying to offend you or anything.

[Shiver]

I was never stupid enough to try. Very early on I noticed cinnamon being a pain to eatnin general, so when people started to try eating spoons full for a challenge, I was already laughing maniacally.

[DizzyDesii]

I don't know why i thought it would be the same as when baked lmao

[DrunkAss]

Don't wanna. I'm drunk, not completely retarded. I'm only 75% retarded. You need to be like 99% to try that for just $20.

[DizzyDesii]

I was 15 years old and broke lol lemme lone

[DrunkAss]

I was also retarded back then. Probably like 110%. More than you.

[DJB72]

Oh good grief. Do people actually do this?

Why don't people just swallow another soap pod instead? It's crazy!

[DizzyDesii]

This challenge was from 10 years ago. So a lot of us were 15 at the time plus i wasn't even aware it was a challenge when dared to do it

[DJB72]

😂 I was 38 then but this is the first time I hear of it! It's scary what people will consider doing on a dare or as a challenge.

I remember about 3 years ago a young woman died after being challenged to drink a crazy amount of water. Her electrolytes became so out of balance that by the time she got to the hospital it was too late. All for an online challenge.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn

[pajamasam]

Hell no that was some dumb shit. Why would I try it if I've seen the videos and already know its gonna be nasty and make me feel horrible.

[DizzyDesii]

Well not everyone had seen videos beforehand

[sd1223]

Never tried it but I think it’s a bit impossible to do because it dries out your throat. These challenges are so stupid.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea some succeeded but its not worth it

[sd1223]

I wouldn’t think so. Oh that’s surprising I didn’t know it could be done.

[AnnNoid]

Easy, don’t get what’s so difficult swallowing dry stuff for other people, I jus gulped it down like nothing

[DizzyDesii]

Damn

[AnnNoid]

Lol I jus imagine I’m swallowing sand or something lol

[Ellie-V]

a student of mine did it. They said the trick was swallowing immediately

[DizzyDesii]

Tried that. Still felt like i was being buried alive in cinnamon flavored dirt as it piled up my throat

[Ellie-V]

🤷🏾‍♀️ Why do people even try 😂😂😂

[JosyJosy]

Neither of these option. I never tried, and I won't I'd rather just watch people do it to themselves and laugh at them :p

[DizzyDesii]

Hopefully no ones still doing this. Like i said i was unaware of challenge when dared to do this. I legit nearly died

[JosyJosy]

People be licking toilet seats during covid now. Silly challenges keep changing. Honestly people doing these things to themselves, like a compilation video is one of the funniest things to watch in my opinion

[Liam_Hayden]

I remember this. I thought it was one of the dumbest things ever till my peers started the Tide Pod Challenge. That was when I realized I was born in the wrong generation.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea the tide pods is really sad
