  1. Here are some nutty fellows, the Slow Mo Guys, the Cinnamon Challenge (Don't do it, may not be safe and burns), you try to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon, apparently this has been a bit of an internet sensation but I never heard about it. Anyway, it seems you puff out the powder like a dragon breathing out smoke.

    No thanks, some sites warn you not to even try it but it is kind of funny to watch.

    Dr. Alvin Bronstein, medical director for the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center said in a statement, “We urge parents and caregivers to talk to their teens about the cinnamon challenge, explaining that what may seem like a silly game can have serious health consequences. Teens who engage in this activity often choke and vomit, injuring their mouths, throats and lungs. Teens who unintentionally breathe the cinnamon into their lungs also risk getting pneumonia.”

    Bronstein added, “Although cinnamon is a common flavoring, swallowing a spoonful may result in unpleasant effects that can pose a health risk. The concern with the cinnamon challenge is that the cinnamon quickly dries out the mouth, making swallowing difficult. As a result, teens who engage in this activity often choke and vomit, injuring their mouths, throats and lungs. Teens who unintentionally breathe the cinnamon into their lungs also risk getting pneumonia as a result.”

    Even at risk for pneumonia. Thought I'd add in the warning.
