Yes, this is apparently a real thing.  Morons are putting tide bowl pods in their mouths, chomping on them and filming it.  Told it's mainly teenagers doing it.

Now, on the one hand I REALLY don't like the idea of teenagers doing this and it'd be tragic if someone died from it.  But the other I can't help but think, isn't this evolution at work?  I mean, if you're dumb enough to eat something like that when you're at an age where you should CLEARLY know better than isn't that the gene pool just weeding out the stupid?

Course, speaking of stupid, my prediction is someone's going to kick the bucket and then their relatives are going to try and SUE P&G for damages.  You just wait...

Thankfully not ALL teens are that dumb.

It's hard to Tweet/Instagram/Farcebook while crammed in a phone booth with a bunch of other people, and if you can't promote yourself and your brand while doing something, why do anything?

I say, let the little bastards die. If their parents complain, lock them up for being bad parents. This thing started as a stupid joke, and then the public had to be more stupid and actually put the crap in their mouths. Just let them die already.

Some clever and sadistic people would eat a lot of Mexican and Italian food a few hours before the phonebooth cram.  Needless to say the resultant farts under such conditions often resulted in crimes against humanity charges being filed.  So the practice was discontinued even before modern technology made phone booths largely a thing of the past.

Yeah this crap happens a lot. It's hard to feel bad for these idiots. The only people I feel sorry for is their loved ones. =\

The Cinnamon Challenge - Keep cinnamon in your mouth for as long as possible without drinking water. Basically, large amounts of Cinnamon can cause
a myriad of respiratory issues. I can understand why people might not understand how cinnamon is dangerous so I'll cut the kids some slack here.

The Salt And Ice Challenge - Hold an ice cube and sprinkle salt on it, keep it in your hands as long as possible. Anyone who has ever salted their driveway knows better. The reaction ice and salt has causes serious burning. I don't care what it is, if something is burning your hand YOU DROP IT IMMEDIATELY.

Condom Challenge - Snort a condom through your nose and pull it out your mouth. Hun, that ain't what those are for. If you choke on it you get to be known posthumously as the dumbass that died from choking on a condom. I hope they put it on your tombstone.

Butt Chugging - Just the name sounds unappealing. There's plenty of things I'd do to a butt but putting booze in it ain't one. Yes, things inserted rectally get absorbed into the blood stream faster so you can easily die of alcohol poisoning. Can't you just abuse alcohol orally like normal people?

Trunking - Does bouncing around in the trunk of a car with no seat belt sound like fun? Or safe?

The Eyeballing Challenge - Take hard liquor to the eye. Dude, I get freaked out trying to apply eye drops, I'm not dousing my eyeballs in scotch. But hey, if you go blind you could become Daredevil! Not the cool Charlie Cox Daredevil, the Ben Affleck one.

Vampire Biting - Biting your girl/boyfriend's neck, in the hopes to draw blood. Can cause severe bleeding and HIV. Also makes the phrase "Love bites" into a pun and I feel that's the greatest crime of all.

The Eraser Challenge - Rub an eraser on your skin while reciting the alphabet and compare the results with your friends. You fools! That's how Doodlebob died!

Kylie Lip Challenge - Put your lips in a cup or jar and suck until they get super puffy. Can cause blood vessels to pop. The biggest victim here is Kylie Jenner. If kids were injuring themselves doing the "A.J. Bauer Challenge" you'd never see me in public again. (What that entails and why you'd want to look like me shall remain a mystery)

Car Surfing - Stand on the roof of a moving car. Head + Concrete + High Speed = X_X. If you want to car surf then just play Saint's Row III or IV.

Choking Game - ಠ_ಠ OH MY GOD! It's called THE CHOKING GAME! Hey I know what we can play! Let's play the "Slit Your Wrists" game! Or the "Jump Off Of Tall Buildings Game"! Oh, oh. I got it! Let's play Russian Roulette! Bonus points if you fill the entire chamber!

The Fire Challenge - Light yourself on fire... I'm not even putting a sarcastic comment here. If you light yourself on fire for fun you deserve to die.

I've said repeatedly that I honestly believe that the average person today is a f**king moron.  People that do these types of things are WAY BELOW that.  I honestly don't know how people that stupid will survive. Lookingup

Somebody once came up with a theory (really wish I could remember who it was) that our lives today are (comparatively) so safe and "boring" from those hundreds of years ago, that many people (mostly male) feel the need to seek out and/or construct artificial dangers to give themselves a sense of excitement.  

Or, second theory, there are too many morons out there and the gene pool needs some chlorine.

Did you know it's a scientific fact that humans appear to be progressively losing brain mass compared to our distant ancestors?

Hate to admit it but in fourth grade I did the eraser thing but we must not have known you were only supposed to do it while you did the ABCs, we took it on as a last one standing event. I had a blister for a week and Sister William Rose was so miffed she barely talked to me except to say I'd disappointed her. That made me wanna cry.

The fire challenge sounds intriguing.
