      stupid is as stupid does...what kind of "adult" would do this? A really dumb one!

      The "Cinnamon Challenge", which involves trying to swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon without water within sixty seconds, has led to many calls to poison centers, emergency departments visits and hospitalizations of teenagers who require ventilator support for collapsed lungs.

      Swallowing a teaspoon of Cinnamon within sixty seconds is a nearly impossible challenge. Even on the online dare, there is a warning: "It's going to burn, you are going to cough, and regret you tried."

      The Cinnamon Challenge is a dare that has spread throughout the Internet. While most children know about it, very few parents and teachers do, researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine wrote in the journal Pediatrics.

        I wonder if YouTube would fold if all the really stupid adults stopped posting really stupid videos...

        I guess some people will do anything for 3:04 minutes of fame...

    I can't get my head around why people even want to do this? Yeah, I'm gonna make myself totally miserable because someone on Youtube did it.

    Just call it population control and smile that despite science keeping people alive longer - natural selection still works.

    First of all, there are apparently two main types of "cinnamon" The most common type isn't REALLY cinnamon, but is very similar. As I recall, they are closely related. Either type should be fine for this!

    Second, It is fine, but usually IS mixed with other things and often a relatively small amount. You could practically run a bakery on half a ladle! I bet a busy restaurant could do over a days worth of cinnamon toast, and perhaps even cinnamon rolls, with a half ladle! And what IS a kabillion?

    I don't know how a teaspoon could cause a collapsed lung, but a half a ladle can be BAD! IMAGINE breathing in in such a cloud of cinnamon! It is amazing how well people recover from things like that but still, it can be bad.

    I LOVE cinnamon, but would NEVER do this!

    BTW did this person EVER have cinnamon before?

      No, but she has done this with Chilly's, (l don't want to watch that one) and G** knows what else. Probably trying to rid herself, one less idiot on this planet, might help?

      I have also heard that individuals feed chilly to kittens, baby's etc, or have sites for it!

      It seems that this is the tip of the sicko, iceberg!
